STEREO TRI-AMP MODE:

In this mode, the bandpass feature on the front channels is activated, configuring the 500/5's crossover sections to true three-way operation. This allows the independent powering of tweeters, midwoofers and subwoofer(s) in the system and gives extensive control over level matching and crossover parameters. Left and right tweeter channels (25W x 2 @ 3 - 4Ω per channel), high- pass filtered. Left and right midwoofer channels (100W x 2 @ 1.5 - 4Ω per channel), bandpass filtered. One mono subwoofer channel (250W x 1 @ 1.5 - 4Ω), low-pass filtered.

Input connection options for the Tri-amp Stereo mode are as follows:

A)Single pair of inputs connected to the rear inputs of the 500/5. In this mode, the user has no adjustability of subwoofer level from the front of the vehicle. See diagram A below.

B)Two pairs of inputs connected to the rear and subwoofer inputs of the 500/5 (a source unit or processor with front and rear pairs of outputs is required). In this mode, the user has the ability to fade or control the level of the subwoofer channel relative to the mid and high-frequency channels. See diagram B below.

L-R Ambience Control:

This switch, located in the “Rear Filter Section”, should be set to the “Off” position when operating the amplifier in Tri-Amp Mode.
