Amplifier Owner’s Manual

TI2 1600.5

5 CHANNEL POWER AMPLIFIER

FRONT, REAR AND SUB INPUTS

Connect preamp signal cables from headunit to these inputs.

SUB INPUT SWITCH

Determines which input will feed signal to the subwoofer channel. “OUT” or SUB = Use the Sub Input

“IN” or F/R = Use the Front and Rear inputs as its signal will be summed then sent to the sub channel of the amplifier

HPF/LPF/SUBSONIC CROSSOVER FREQUENCY

Controls the crossover points for the speaker outputs.

REAR X-OVER CONFIG

HP: High pass crossover is on

BP: Low and high pass crossovers are both on, creating a Bandpass (BP) filter for midbass/midrange drivers. Check on page 4 (Ti2 1000.4) for more details on how to use the the BP setting for a fully active crossover system.

SENS

Used to reach maximum amplifier power with a wide variety of headunits.

REMOTE BASS LEVEL CONTROL (RBCF)

This port is for connecting the remote subwoofer level control. This allows up to 20dB of volume adjustment for the subwoofer channel. This is not a bass boost, it controls the level of the low pass signal.

PHASE

This allows the phase of the subwoofer output to be adjusted from 0 to 180 degrees. This adjustment can help achieve better “up front” subwoofer bass and resolve subwoofer cancellation problems in certain installations. Each installation is different, slowly adjust and listen for best results.

+12V

This must be connected to the fused positive terminal (+12V) of the car’s battery. The fuse must be located within 18 inches of the battery.

REMOTE

This must be connected to switched +12V, usually a trigger wire coming from the head unit or ignition.

GROUND

This must be connected to the negative terminal of the car’s battery or bolted to a clean, unpainted part of the chassis of the vehicle.

REMOTE MONITORING DISPLAY (RMD)

Connect optional RMD Voltage Display to this port.

SPEAKER OUTPUTS

Used to connect the amplifier to speakers. Ti2 1600.5’s minimum impedance is 4 ohms bridged or 2 ohms stereo on front and rear channels. Use the Left + and Right - to bridge the channels. Minimum impedance is 2 ohms for the subwoofer channel and its not bridgeable.

CLIP INDICATORS (located on top of the amplifier)

Lights when the amplifier reaches near maximum output. Under heavy use the clip indicators should be flashing during the peaks of the music. The clip indicator should not stay lit for long periods of time (more than 1 or 2 seconds), if this is the case you need to reduce system volume or the SENS level of the amplifier.
