CONNECTING THE POWER (Fig.1) CAUTION: AS A PRECAUTION, DISCONNECT THE POWER WIRE FROM THE BATTERY WHILE MAKING THE POWER AND GROUND CONNECTIONS TO THE AMPLIFIER. 4/8 GAUGE(Thicker if planning for additional Amplifiers) wire is recommended for both the power and ground wires. 12 Gauge, for the remote turn-on wire. Both types are available at most Mobile Audio Dealers or Installation Shop.
CONTROLS RCA input jacks These RCA input jacks are for use with source units that have RCA or Line level outputs. A source unit with a minimum level of 200mV is required for proper operation. The use of high quality twisted pair cables is recommended to decrease the possibility of radiated noise entering the system. Auxiliary outputs The Auxiliary outputs offer Power Acoustik amplifiers easy, unlimited system expansion.
CONTROLS High pass x-over frequency control This control is used to select the desired high pass x-over frequency. OVN2-600/OVN4-840/OVN4-1200/OVN4-1600 : The frequency can be adjusted between 40Hz and 250Hz. OVN2-800/OVN2-1250/OVN2-1800/OVN2-2200 : The frequency can be adjusted between 50Hz and 500Hz. Low pass x-over frequency control This control is used to select the desired low pass x-over frequency. OVN2-600/OVN4-840/OVN4-1200/OVN4-1600 : The frequency can be adjusted between 40Hz and 250Hz.
CONTROLS LED Will illuminate GREEN to indicate the amplifier is on and operating normally, and will be illuminated RED if the amplifier shuts down due to short circuit, DC offset, or overheating detected by on board protection circuitry. REMOTE Controls the subwoofer amplifier gain, from a remote location for ease of adjustment during listening. REMOTE Warning: Do not connect a level control knob from other manufacturers to the Remote Sub Level Control of any amplifier.

WARNINGS Investigate the layout of your automobile throughly before drilling or cutting any holes. Take care when to work near the gas tanks, lines, or hydraulic lines, and electrical wiring. Don't use power amplifier unmounted. Attach this system securely to the automobile to prevent damage, particularly in the event of an accident. Don't mount this system so that the wire connections are unprotected or are subject to pinching or damage from nearby objects.
