PZi100.2 / PZi250.2 / PZi325.2 / 2 CHANNEL AMPLIFIER APPLICATIONS
FULL RANGE STEREO
This is the most basic application for the POWERZONE Series 2 channel amplifiers.
1. Interconnect cable checklist:
Connect the LINE INPUTS to the Radio/CD with good quality RCA cables.
2. Crossover Switch:

FULL RANGE MONO
This application illustrates the basic mono bridging method for all POWERZONE 2 channel amplifiers.
Interconnect cable checklist:
A MONO signal source is required, such as would be available from the mono sub bass output of an active crossover, whether stand alone, or built into a head unit or equalizer. Important: Do not be tempted to connect the hot, or positive outputs, from any source together to obtain a mono signal, as this could very well damage the output stage of that source.
It is necessary to feed the SAME signal to both left and right inputs via a Y- adapter RCA cable. Connect the mono speaker positive terminal to the LEFT +, and its negative terminal to RIGHT

TIP: If you are using the mono sub bass output of an active crossover, there is nothing wrong with switching in the low pass filter in these amplifiers for a steeper low pass

CHASSIS GROUND
The HIGH LEVEL inputs are used when the radio/CD player does not have RCA cable outputs. You can connect the radio/CD player speaker wires directly to the amplifier via the high Level Inputs.
