Input Level Control

The input level control matches the output of your radio to the input of

the amplifier. After the installation

is complete, make sure the input level control on the amp is turned down all the way (counterclockwise or all the

way to the left). Play a tape or CD (make sure bass and treble settings or EQ are flat too) and turn the volume up slowly until you just start to hear distortion. Now back the volume down just a bit. On the amp, slowly turn up the input level control (clockwise or to the right) until you just start to hear distortion and back it down a bit. Now your radio and ampli- fier levels are matched.

Use LPF and HPF to adjust from 50 to 250Hz.

When using your Jensen amplifier to run a subwoofer and two full- range speakers (known as Tri- mode or three channel operation)

you will need to purchase separate high and low pass crossovers from your local retailer. A pair of high

pass crossovers for your full range speakers and a low pass filter for the subwoofer. This will allow the amplifier to work properly when installing it in Tri-mode. Failure to install these filters may damage your amplifier and/ or your speakers.
