ADJUSTING THE CROSSOVER

The built-in crossover on the Amplified Bazooka is a 18 dB per octave electronic low pass filter, it has a 60 Hz to 250 Hz variable crossover point. Select the crossover point that you feel best fits your system design. Set the potentiometer labeled XOVER to the point you selected, 60 Hz being all the way to the left (coun- terclockwise) and 250 Hz being all the way to the right (clockwise). When you have set the crossover, proceed to the next step.

ADJUSTING LEVEL GAIN CONTROL

Locate the potentiometer labeled LEVEL. This is the level control. Start with the level control turned all the way to the left (counterclockwise). The bass should be off or very low at this point. Turn up your head unit until the sound from the exist- ing speakers starts to clip or distort. This is the point in your system where you will get maximum volume with the least amount of distortion. With the head unit at this point, turn the level gain control up slowly until the bass volume blends well with the existing high frequency speakers. This should be the proper setting for the level gain control. Now that the level is set, you may want to go back to the x-over control and adjust the x-over point by ear to meet the desired sonic quality of your system design.
