Charging system considerations Mounting location The TC600, TC300, and TC304 are highperformance amplifiers whose current demands place an additional load on your car's battery and charging system. Depending on the volume at which you are playing your system, the amplifier can draw an average of 20-40 amperes, and under certain extreme operating conditions, can draw up to 90 amperes in the case of the TC600. Because of the additional demand, the life of your car's battery and charging system may be shorter than it would have been before you installed your music system. You may need to install a heavy-duty charging system and a high-quality heavyduty battery to support the higher demands on the charging system. Depending on your listening habits, you may want to install a second battery and an isolation switching system. Consult your Harman Kardon dealer for professional assistance. Harman Kardon's tunnel cooled design keeps your amplifier cool to the touch. enabling you to install it even in a very confined space, such as under a seat with limited clearance. Just be sure that you don't block or restrict the inlet or outlet to the amplifier's tunnel, so air can be circulated freely by the fan. This cooling method allows the amplifier to be positioned in any orientation (horizontal, vertical, upside down). Do not install your amplifier in a location where it would be exposed to rain, moisture, or direct sun, and do not allow dirt or foreign objects to enter the cooling tunnel. Use the amplifier itself as a template for marking the mounting holes. Before you drill mounting holes, make sure that you know what is located directly behind the panel you're drilling through (e.g., gas tank, brake lines, wires, etc.).

considerations
location
The TC600, TC300, and TC304 are high-
performance amplifiers whose current
demands place an additional load on your
car's battery and charging system. Depend-
ing on the volume at which you are playing
your system, the amplifier can draw an
average of 20-40 amperes, and under
certain extreme operating conditions, can
draw up to 90 amperes in the case of the
TC600.
Because of the additional demand, the life
of your car's battery and charging system
may be shorter than it would have been
before you installed your music system.
You may need to install a heavy-duty
charging system and a high-quality heavy-
duty battery to support the higher demands
on the charging system. Depending on your
listening habits, you may want to install a
second battery and an isolation switching
system. Consult your Harman Kardon
dealer for professional assistance.
Harman Kardon's tunnel cooled design
keeps your amplifier cool to the touch.
enabling you to install
it
even in a very

don't block or restrict the inlet or outlet to
the amplifier's tunnel, so air can be circu-
lated freely by the fan. This cooling method
allows the amplifier to be positioned in any

Do not install your amplifier in a location
where
it
would be exposed to rain, moisture,
