Remote Sub level Control - This port is for the supplied remote gain control that allows adjustment from a remote location .

Subsonic Filter - This switch will activate the Subsonic Filter Circuit which eliminates unwanted frequencies from 24Hz and below.

Gain Control - This allows you to set the nominal operating level of the amplifier. The amplifier’s range, 250mV to 2.5V for RCA inputs or 500mV to 5V for speaker level inputs, which can accommodate input levels from virtually any brand of source unit.

Bass Boost Control- The amplifier also features a “high-Q” (i.e. narrow fre- quency band) Bass Boost circuit. It acts much like an equalizer, with adjustable gain (from 0 to +15dB) fixed at 45Hz. Use this feature to tune low- frequency audio response to compensate for a less than ideal subwoofer enclosure design. The added boost produces rich, full bass tones that are normally difficult to reproduce in the car audio environment. NOTE: If Bass Boost is undesired, set Bass Boost to 0dB.

Low-pass Filter Controls

Frequency (Hz) Selection Control - The crossover frequency is fully adjustable between 55Hz and 550Hz for a wide range of crossover points.
