4 Channel Amplifier - Applications
GTS480/GTS4125
One 4 Channel Amplifier in Mono/Subwoofer Mode with two Subwoofers
FILTER SELECT (CH1/2 & CH3/4)
In Mono/Subwoofer-Mode select the Lowpass-Position (LOW PASS), which eliminates the higher frequencies. The recommended
crossover frequency ranges between 60 - 100Hz, depending on the size and response of the Subwoofers. The Lowpass adjustment
can be done with the LOW PASS control.
• In this configuration example the HIGH PASS control is not used.
INPUT LEVEL (CH1/2 & CH3/4)
• Turn the INPUT LEVEL controls on the amplifier to 4V position.
• Turn the head unit volume control to about 80-90% of its full setting.
• Turn the INPUT LEVEL controls clockwise until you hear some distortion.
• Then turn back the INPUT LEVEL controls slightly until you can hear clean sound.
BASS BOOST (CH1/2 & CH3/4)
• The BASS BOOST - Control increases the bass level at 45 Hz max. +12dB.
Caution! Please use the Bass-Boost carefully. The additional boost may result in clipping or overload.
INPUT SELECT
• The INPUT SELECT - switch must be in “2” - position.
Connect RCA outputs
from head-unit with RCA
inputs (INPUT CH1/2).
Caution
Be careful not to connect speaker (-) to the ground or vehicle chassis.
Interconnect cable checklist:
• Connect the head unit line outputs with good quality RCA to RCA cables to the INPUT CH1&2 of
the amplifier.
• Connect the Subwoofers with the terminal blocks (SPEAKERS / + BRIDGED - from Channel 1&2
and + BRIDGED - from Channel 3&4) of the amplifier.
• The minimum final speaker impedance must not be below 4 Ohm per channel pair. Too low
speaker loads result in too high heat dissipation and may cause the amplifier run into protection.
• Please observe speaker channel and polarity as printed by the speaker terminal block. Incorrect
phasing of the speakers results in total loss of bass response.
