Need help?Do you have a question about the Directed Audio 200/500 and is the answer not in the manual?
Connects the amplifier's ground terminal to the car chassis using a short, heavy gauge wire.
Connects to the head unit's remote output or power antenna wire to activate the amplifier.
Connects to the positive battery terminal, requiring a fuse or circuit breaker close to the battery.
Protects the amplifier from electrical damage; do not use fuses with higher amperage.
Connects speakers to these terminals; refer to wiring diagrams for different configurations.
Accepts line-level audio signals from head units; recommends high-grade shielded RCA cables.
Controls the amplifier's input sensitivity for each channel pair, matching the source.
Selects filter type: LPF for subwoofers, HPF for mid-range, or FLAT for full-range.
Activates an 8 dB bass boost circuit for low frequency enhancement (model 500 only).
Adjusts the crossover point frequency for each amplifier half, allowing independent tuning.
Green LED indicates normal operation; shutdown due to protection circuits is indicated by the LED turning off.
Provides diagrams for connecting speakers in a standard stereo configuration.
Illustrates wiring for mono operation, typically for subwoofers or bridging.
Shows how to achieve both stereo and mono outputs simultaneously for complex systems.
Provides advice on setting crossover type and frequency for optimal system balance and soundstage.
Details the process for setting gain to achieve maximum output without distortion or noise.
