Remote Turn on Connection, Setting the Controls

Over the years we have received many an amp back to our service department with melted power/ground terminals. The cause of this is a bad ground connection. When there is a lack of good ground heat builds up at the weakest point which is the contact screw of the terminal.

Over time the heat generated will begin to melt the terminal. It is a good practice to feel the power and ground wires with your hands, near their amplifier connection after having played the amp for a while. If the wires feel hot to the touch you probably have a bad or loose connection. If you are sure of your connections and the wires still feel hot to the touch, you should upgrade the gauge of the wire to next heaviest gauge.

REMOTE TURN ON CONNECTION

The remote turn on connection is located on the barrier strip next to the power and ground connections.This connection is responsible for turning the amplifier on and off with the rest of the system. A smaller gauge wire can be used to make this connection to your radio's power antenna lead. Should your system not have any turn on leads, you can wire the remote terminal to an accessory lead, which turns on, with your ignition.

AUDIO PREAMP INPUT

The Amadeus Series amplifiers feature RCA preamp inputs. Run RCA cables from your sound source to the inputs of the amplifier. We suggest the use of high quality shielded RCA patch cords to help reduce and eliminate unwanted electrical noise from your system.

Be sure to run the RCA cables on the opposite side of the vehicle that you used to carry the power and ground leads of the amplifier.

USING THE M7000 AMPLIFIER IN CONJUNCTION WITH A MULTI-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER

The Amadeus M7000 amplifier is of course meant for sub bass applications and as such needs to be used in conjunction with a second amplifier for a complete system.

Connect the Line Out of the M7000 amplifier to the Line Input of a multi- channel amplifier. Set the multi-channel amplifier's internal crossover to High Pass, as it will drive the high frequency speakers, such as separates, coaxials, or plate type speakers, typically mounted in the doors or kick panels.

USING THE BUILT-IN LOW PASS ELECTRONIC CROSSOVER

All the Amadeus Series amplifiers feature 24dB per octave fully adjustable low-pass and high pass electronic crossovers.

For Low Pass systems, set the crossover mode switch to LOW PASS. Now the
