Installation Warnings and Tips

Disconnect the negative (–) lead from your vehicle’s battery.

At the installation sites, locate and make a note of all fuel lines, hydraulic brake lines, vacuum lines and electrical wiring. Use extreme caution when cutting or drilling in and around these areas.

Choose a safe mounting location away from moisture.

Make sure there is sufficient air circulation at the mounting location for the amplifier to cool itself.

Mount the amplifier, using the supplied hardware.

￿Speaker Output Connectors

Connect the subwoofer to these terminals, observing proper polarity. Either + or – terminal may be used. Minimum total impedance is 1 ohm.

￿Fuses

Replace only with the same type and rating.

￿Power Input Connectors

+12V: Connect to the positive terminal of the vehicle’s battery. 8 AWG wire is recommended. Install an appropriate fuse holder and fuse (40A minimum) within 18 inches of the battery. Make sure the wire is not damaged or pinched during installation. Install protective grommets when routing wires through the firewall or other sheet metal.

GND: Connect to the vehicle’s chassis. Refer to the picture below.

REM: Connect to the “Remote Out” lead from the source unit or to a source of switched

+12V (ACC).

￿Aux Output Connectors (RCA)

Nonfiltered pass-through output. Connect to the input of an additional amplifier.

￿Input Connectors (RCA)

Connect to the RCA outputs from the source unit or signal processor.

￿Input-Level Control

Used to match the input level of the amplifier to the output level of the source unit.

See ￿ for the adjustment procedure.

￿Protect LED

Illuminated under any of the following fault conditions: battery over/under voltage, short circuit in speaker wires, amplifier is too hot, amplifier’s output circuit has failed (DC voltage is present in the amplifier’s output).

￿Low-Pass Filter Frequency Control

12dB/octave low-pass filter, variable from 32Hz to 320Hz.

See ￿ for the adjustment procedure.

￿Power On LED

Illuminated when the amplifier is on.

￿Setting Input Level

A Turn Input Level control counterclockwise to 6V (minimim).

B With a dynamic music track playing, turn the head unit’s volume control to the 3/4 position.

C Turn Input Level control clockwise until the bass output is proportionate to the output of the high-frequency speakers, according to your preference.

D Input level is now adjusted correctly.

￿Setting the Crossover

A Crossover setting for subwoofers.

Note: Acceptable frequency ranges are indicated in gray.

This product is designed for mobile applications and is not intended for connection to the mains.

A valid serial number is required for warranty coverage.
