LINE LEVEL INPUTS & OUTPUTS - The most commonly used inputs & outputs in the aftermarket are RCA type line level inputs. These can handle up to about 6 Volts rms without overdriving the amplifier. Such high voltages are rarely found from car audio head units so this is a very comfortable value. But, should the use need to drive the amp directly from speaker level leads, use the supplied “High Level Adapter” to connect to the amp.
BASS BOOST - This control provides additional bass in the 45Hz area to give a stronger low end “feel” to the bass. Once switched on, this will also allow the amp to be driven into distortion sooner so the user must be aware.
GAIN CONTROL - The gain control allows for a range of
CROSSOVER MODE SELECTOR - Depending upon the system design chosen, you need to set the amplifier in the proper “mode” be it LP, Flat, or HP. The
PROTECTION LED - This light turns on if the amplifier senses a severe problem, such as a speaker short circuit.
POWER ON LED - This light will turn on when the amplifier receives a +12V turn on signal from the radio. If the amp is properly wired, but the light does not turn on, there may be a short circuit condition that the amp is protecting itself from.
