Summary

Welcome and Safety Information

Technical Support

Should you need technical assistance during or after your installation please call our technical-line between 9:30 am and 5:00 PM EST.

Operational Safety

Use of this amplifier at extreme high volumes may cause hearing loss and impair driving awareness. Secure amplifier tightly.

Amplifier Features and Technology

Protection and Mute Circuits

Sophisticated IC controlled protection circuitry monitors temperature and voltages. Anti-thump, mute, and delay circuit included.

Bass EQ and PCB Design

Features narrow "Q" shelving equalization circuit for bass boost and a robust PCB design.

Battery Voltage Requirements

Rated and regulated to 13.8 volts; maximum input voltage is 14.4 volts.

Protection Circuitry and Installation Basics

Detailed Protection Modes

Includes Thermal, Speaker Short Circuit, Input Overload, and DC Offset Protection.

Installation and Wiring Guidelines

Disconnect battery, secure amplifier, proper power/ground wiring, and fuse usage are critical.

Wiring and Connectivity

Power and Ground Wiring

Use appropriate gauge primary cable for power and ground connections for reliable installation.

Remote Turn-On and Audio Input

Connect remote turn-on wire and run RCA cables for audio signal input.

Electronic Crossover Functionality

Features 12dB/octave fully adjustable low-pass and high-pass electronic crossovers.

System Setup and Adjustment

Setting Crossover Points

Approximate crossover points for low-pass filters should be set around 100 Hz for subwoofers.

Input Sensitivity Adjustment

Adjust INPUT GAIN to match source unit output level without audible distortion.

Gain vs. Volume Control

Input Gain matches source to amplifier; it is not a substitute for system volume control.

Mounting and Cable Gauge

Amplifier Mounting Recommendations

Mount amplifier in a location with unobstructed airflow for efficient heat dissipation.

Power & Ground Cable Gauge Selection

Chart provides guidance on selecting correct wire gauge based on total amperage and wire run distance.
