Mounting
RideAmp-250Q is designed to be flush-mounted to a flat surface, making it ideal for ride vehicle panels.
SMK - Single Unit Surface Mount Kit (Included)
For most use cases, our standard SMK surface mount kit is a great solution so it is included in the box with every RideAmp-250Q unit. This is a very simple set of angled brackets that hard-mount the RideAmp-250Q flush against a flat surface.

VSMKX-1 - Single Unit Surface Mount Kit /w Vibration Dampening
For added protection, the VSMKX-1 mounting kit offers vibration dampening grommets that rest between the surface mounting angle brackets and the fasteners mounting the unit.

VSMKX-2 - Dual Unit Surface Mount Kit /w Vibration Dampening
Since space is one of the most precious resources with on-board applications, we offer the VSMKX-2 kit to allow two of our onboard products (RidePlayerX, RideAmp-25H, and RideAmp-250Q) to be mounted in a stacked configuration. This kit also includes vibration dampening grommets for added protection.

Heat Dissipation
Installation of a RideAmp-250Q should maintain a minimum spacing of 1” [25mm] to enclosure walls (excluding the rear mounting surface of the unit) and 1.5” [38mm] to other amplifiers or other heat generating components. If Alcorn McBride mounts (SMK-1, VSMKX-1, & VSMKX-2) are used for installation, no additional space will be required.
Additionally the RideAmp-250Q uses active cooling. The fan intake is located at the top of the unit to push air through the amplifier. If at all possible align the airflow from vents or other cooling systems with the airflow of the RideAmp-250Q. The unit may be mounted in any orientation as required to optimize thermal management and cable placement.
