Amplifier

1.DSP LCD Display – Title screen when amplifier is turned on. Shows menus, sub-menus and selections during DSP set-up.

2. (up) and (down) Keys – Use to scroll menus and sub-menus as well as making adjustments during DSP set-up.

3. (left) Key – Use to back up one step in adjustments or menus during DSP set-up.

4. (right) Key – Use to enter into menus and sub-menus during DSP set-up.

5.Select Key – Use to select into menus, sub-menus and for finalizing adjustments during DSP set-up.

6.Cast Aluminum Heatsink – The cast aluminum heatsink of the amplifier dissipates heat generated by the amplifier's circuitry. The inherent advantage of this casting design optimizes cooling and thermal performance.

7.Power Terminals – The power and ground connectors are platinum-plated and will accommodate up to 4 AWG wire maximizing the input current capability of the amplifier.

8.REM Terminal – This terminal is used to remotely turn-on and turn-off the amplifier when +12V DC is applied.

9.Speaker Terminals – The heavy duty, platinum-plated terminal block connectors (+ and –) will accept wire sizes from 8 AWG to 18 AWG. These platinum-plated connectors are immune to corrosion that can cause signal deterioration.

10.RCA Input Jacks – The industry standard RCA jacks provide an easy connection for signal level input. They are platinum-plated to resist the signal degradation caused by corrosion.

11.RCA Pass-Thru/Auxiliary Output Jacks – The Pass-Thru/Auxiliary Output provides a convenient source for daisy-chaining an additional amplifier without running an extra set of RCA cables from the front of the vehicle to the rear amplifier location.
