No it is a Telstar it has a great aluminum heat sink but the case is heavy ABS plastic with no lip or flange. When I was working in Telcom Union Electrician I was driving the wifes hatchback and I had about 200lbs of tools and tool boxes in the hatch area. I hit ice at 75mph and ended up in a huge deep ditch full of snow outside of Troy Michigan. I had slowed down to 75 because traffic was going about 95mph on the commute to Detroit and I thought I say some ice. The car came to a sudden stop but the tools did not. A tool box full of about 60lbs of tools hit me in the back of the head at that speed and an even heavier one hit the seat back breaking the seats steel rebar like frame and breaking a bolt at the base. The hatch area was open on top to the rest of the car. So from that day on I have made sure to mount anything I can securely to the car in case of an accident so it is not a missile in the car.

I lost 3 days of memory in that accident. I was conscious and alert when the tow truck pulled me out and the officer thought I was fine. The airbag did not go off and the snow decelerated the car super fast. As I drove about 1.5 hours home I started to have double vision etc....I had a hard time over the next 3 days with really easy words i would be looking at a sofa for instance and I could not think of the word for it with out really concentrating. Then the pain hit.....I had a terrible concussion and whip lash like you would not believe. My neck was so out of wack I could put my chin over each shoulder and touch my back. Keep in mind I at the time I was 6 foot 1 and about 250lbs. and looked like I played in NFL and had no neck from years of High School wrestling.

So I like to have everything secure in my car I am too old to hurt like that again for something like an rf amplifer! LOL I do not want to make some episode of Emergcy Room Stories on a cable channel because I had an rf amplifier embedded in my head! LOL

If it was a car audio amp going under a seat I would glue a sheet of MDF under the carpet and screw into that. In this case having no flange rules that out. Plus I want air flow.

I would have to add a remote if I was going to install in my trunk and I hate to do that. I have kids still and between band, sports and gong to see the inlaws I need all the trunk space I have.
