Summary

Installation Instructions

Location of the Amplifier

Specifies secure mounting to a solid surface in a dry area with sufficient airflow for optimal heat dissipation.

Supplying Enough Power

Ensures the amplifier receives adequate power from the boat's electrical system for full output and performance.

Installation Best Practices

Grounding and Cable Management

Proper grounding to battery and routing signal cables away from power wires are essential.

Amplifier Controls and Features

Level Adjustment

Adjusts input sensitivity to match head unit output for optimal sound quality and noise reduction.

Protection Indicator LED

A red LED indicates the amplifier has entered protection mode, signaling an issue.

Control Panel Access

Describes how to access the amplifier's control panel by removing screws.

Understanding Crossover Controls

High-Pass Filter (HPF)

Allows high frequencies to pass, reducing lower signals below the cutoff frequency.

Low-Pass Filter (LPF)

Allows low frequencies to pass, reducing higher signals above the cutoff frequency.

Bandpass Filter (BP)

Uses both HPF and LPF to play a selected range of frequencies, isolating specific bands.

Subsonic Filter Function

Reduces signals below the cutoff frequency to protect equipment and save battery power.

Amplifier Features and Outputs

Bass Boost Functionality

Adjustable feature to boost low frequencies, use with caution for powerful output.

Remote Gain Control Module

Module for easy remote gain adjustment without accessing the amplifier directly.

RCA Line Out Port

Provides full range mono signal for connecting multiple amplifiers.

Speaker Output Terminals

Block style terminals for speaker connections; ensure proper impedance and wiring.

Detailed Installation Steps

Power and Fuse Connections

Connect red 4 AWG wire from battery to amplifier with an in-line fuse within 12 inches.

Ground and Remote Wiring

Connect black ground wire to battery and blue remote wire from head unit.

Speaker and RCA Connections

Connect speaker wires to outputs and RCAs to inputs, verifying polarity and impedance.
