2.RCA Input Channels 1 through 4 - accepts RCA input from a head unit, pream- plifier, or equalizer. These inputs are configured by the Input Mode switch posi- tion (refer to item 11 below).

3.RCA Line Output - provides easy connection to additional amplifiers.

4.Gain Control - continuous adjustment for full power output. The upper control is for channels 1/2 and the lower control is for channels 3/4.

5.Intelli-Bass - continuously adjusts from 0 to 12dB of boost centered at 45Hz.

6.Remote Bass Jack - connects optional HP-RB1 remote bass control to control the bass level from the driver’s seat. The HP-RB1 is only active when the crossover switch (lower switch) for channels 3/4 is at the LPF setting.

7.LPF (Low-Pass Frequency Control) - adjusts the frequency (50Hz–500Hz) of the upper crossover frequency. When set for this position the optional remote bass control is active (upper channels 1/2, lower channels 3/4).

8.X-Over(cross-over) - activates LPF (low pass crossover), FLAT (all pass), or HPF (high pass crossover) (upper channels 1/2, lower channels 3/4).

9.HPF (High-Pass Frequency Control) - adjusts the frequency (50Hz–500Hz) of the lower crossover frequency (upper channels 1/2, lower channels 3/4).

10.Power LED - when illuminated (green) indicates that the amplifier is on.

Protect LED - when illuminated (red) indicates that the amplifier protective cir- cuitry has been activated due to thermal, output short, supply undervoltage or supply overvoltage.

11.Input Mode - 1/2 channel or 3/4 channel selectable. In the 1/2 CH position, the input to channels 1 and 2 are also supplied to channels 3 and 4, respectively. In the 3/4 CH position all 4 channels are supplied separately When the switch is to the left (4 CH position), front and rear inputs are independent. This allows a source unit with an internal fader to fade between the 1/2 CH and 3/4 CH outputs.

1.ATC Fuse - (2) 20-amp ATC fuses protect the amplifier against internal electrical damage and is meant to protect the amplifier only. All other power connections should be fused at the source.

2.+BAT - connect this terminal through a FUSE or CIRCUIT BREAKER to the positive terminal of the vehicle battery or the positive terminal of an isolated audio sys- tem battery.

WARNING: Always protect this power wire by installing a fuse or circuit breaker of the appropriate size within 12 inches of the battery terminal connection.

3.REM - this terminal turns on the amplifier when (+) 12 volt is applied. Connect it to the remote turn on lead of the head unit or signal source. If a (+) 12 volt remote turn lead is not available, a Remote Power Adapter (P/N #55000) can be used to
