followingsetuproutine:
● Turnthegaincontroltominimumontheamplifier.
● Ontheheadunitsetallcrossoverstoflatandbothbassandtrebletozero.
● Turnupthesource(headunit)toapprox3/4volume.
● Veryslowlyturnupthegainontheamplifieruntildistortioncanbeheardinanyofthe
speakersoruntilthevolumereachesanuncomfortablelisteninglevelwhenthisisreached
turndownthegaincontrolslightly.

Crossover Setting
AllFLIactiveenclosurescomewitha
builtinFrequencyControl.Thiswill allowyoutosetthe
frequencyatwhichtheamplifierfilterwilltakeaffect.Itisvariablefrom40Hz-250Hz.40Hzwill
produceonlylowfrequencies,verydeepbass.Whilst250Hzwillproducelowandhigherpunchy
bassfrequencies.Inthecorrect
setupthebassshouldnotbeoverlyprominent,althoughsome
usersmaywishtohaveabiggerbasspresence.
Tosetthiscorrectlyfollowthefollowingroutine:
● Firstlysetthegaincontrolcorrectlyasdescribedabove.
● Playaknownpieceofdynamicmusicthroughtheentiresystem.
● UsetheFrequencyControltoblendthefrequenciesfromthesubwooferintotherestofthe
vehiclesothatthebasscomingfromtheenclosuredisappears'orblendsinwiththerestof
thecarspeakers.
Thecrossoverisnowset.
