Mounting
RidePlayerX 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 RidePlayerX unit. This is a very simple set of angled brackets that hard-mount the RidePlayerX 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 RidePlayerX should maintain a minimum spacing of 0.5” [13mm] to enclosure walls (excluding the rear mounting surface of the unit) and 1” [25mm] to other amplifiers or other heat generating components. The rear surface of the unit may directly contact the enclosure walls and the front face of the unit should maintain a minimum of 0.25” [6.4mm] from the enclosure walls or any other components. Note that the smallest Alcorn McBride mount, the SMK-1, requires 0.75” [19mm] spacing for the mount bracket.
The RidePlayerX has been designed to operate with passive cooling and may be mounted in any orientation as required to optimize cable placement or other installation requirements.
