OPERATION

ADJUSTING GAIN

To adjust the gain setting, turn the amplifier gains all the way down. Turn the source unit volume up until distortion is audible and then turn it down a bit until the distortion is inaudible. This will be about two thirds all the way up on most source units. Next, turn the amplifier gain setting until once again distortion is audible and then back it down until the distortion is inaudi- ble. Rockford Fosgate source units do not distort, so the volume can be used at maximum setting.

NOTE: For a more in depth setting procedure, contact Rockford Technical Support.

ADJUSTING CROSSOVER FREQUENCY

Placing the switch in the Full position sets the amplifier to the full range frequency mode, preventing any crossover adjustment.

Placing the switch in the LP position allows the crossover frequency to be adjusted between 50-250Hz.

Turn the crossover adjustment knob all the way down. With the system playing, turn the crossover adjustment knob up slowly until the desired crossover point is achieved.
