CONTROL

 

REMOTE GAIN CONTROL JACK - For connecting the remote gain control (included). This allows you to adjust the gain while seated in the vehicle with the system operating.

LOW PASS CROSSOVER CONTROL - This control sets the upper frequency limit of the amplifier. For most subwoofers a value just below 100 Hz is usually best.

SLOPE SWITCH - This allows you to switch between 12 dB and 24 dB per octave roll-off.

GAIN CONTROL - The gain control allows for a range of 0.3 - 8 Volts input. This means that if the setting is 0.3V, it only takes 0.3V to drive the amp to full output. (Such a low setting allows for the amp to be easily overdriven, and more susceptible to noise so a mid-position is highly recommended for most radios.)

LINE LEVEL INPUTS & OUTPUTS - The most commonly used inputs and outputs in the aftermarket are RCA type line level. These can handle up to about 6 Volts rms without overdriving the amp. Such high voltages are rarely found from car audio head units, so this is a very comfortable value. But should you need to drive the amp directly from speaker level leads, use the supplied “High Level Adapter” to connect to the amp.
