SVT-5 PRO Bass Amplifier Rack Mounting When mounting the SVT-5 PRO into a rack, the four bottom feet should be removed to maintain the three rack space height of the amplifier. Be sure to keep the feet and their attachment bolts for future use. If the feet are reinstalled, never use screws which will protrude farther into the amplifier than the original hardware. The rack must be a high quality enclosure capable of securely supporting the weight of the amplifier.
