RRCCAA IInnppuutt//OOuuttppuutt JJaacckkss --
The
inputs accept line level outputs from
head units or signal processors at
voltages between 150mV and 4
volts. The outputs provide signal to
other amplifiers.
2.
IInnppuutt GGaaiinn AAddjjuussttmmeenntt --
Controls
amplifier sensitivity and is used to
match the input level of the ampli-
fier to the output level of the signal
source.
3.
CCrroossssoovveerr FFrreeqquueennccyy AAddjjuussttmmeenntt --
Adjusts the crossover point for the
on-board active crossovers.
4.
SSttaattuus
s LLEEDDss
- The POWER indicator
LED will light BLUE to indicate the
amplifier is on. The PROTECT LED
will light RED if the amplifier shuts
down due to short circuit, or over-
heating detected by on-board
protection circuitry.
5.
SSuubb SSoonniicc SSwwiittcchh --
This filter atten-
uates frequencies of values below
the audio range. Typically below
20Hz.
6.
PPhhaassee SSwwiittcchh --
Provides either 0 or
180 degree phase shift of the
amplified output (speaker) with
respect to the input signal (1500X
and 1800X only).
7.
FFiilltteerr SSeelleeccttiioonn SSwwiittcchh --
Controls the
type of filter for the on-board active
crossover. FLAT does not attenuate
any frequencies and is for full-range
speaker systems. HPF attenuates
low frequencies and is used for mid-
range speakers and tweeters. LPF
attenuates high frequencies and is
used for subwoofers speakers.
8.
BBaassss BBoooosstt SSwwiittcchh
- Adds an addi-
tional 6 or 12 db of bass boost to
the speaker output (4600X 8 db
only).
NNOOTTEE::
The 2300X amplifier has one combined Power/-
Protection (BLUE/RED) LED. All other Xtreme
amplifiers have separate Power (BLUE) and Protec-
tion (RED) LEDs.

NNOOTTEE::
The step numbers listed below are referenced on the Input Wiring Diagram. Not
all the amplifiers will have all the connections/controls listed below.
