INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Amplifier's provide high-performance sound reinforcement for you'r mobile audio equipment. The Multi-Mode bridging capabilities allow flexibility in hosting several different speaker configurations. To achieve optimum performance, it is highly recommended that you read this Owners Manual before beginning installation.

CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS Controls & Functions 1. Input Level Adjustment LEVEL MIN MAX This control adjusts the amplifier's input sensitivity. Input sensitivity is variable from 200 Millivolts to 8 volts. Clockwise increases sensitivity. Counterclockwise decreases sensitivity. The amplifier can be driven to full power with a wide range of signal levels. A lower signal level will require increased sensitivity for full power. A higher signal level will require decreased sensitivity.
5. Subsonic Filter Control CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS Controls & Functions SUB SONIC 15 40 (Hz) Variable Subsonic Filter (15Hz - 40Hz) : The Subsonic filter will roll off all of the unwanted frequencies below 15Hz - 40Hz. This will allow the amplifier to use that wasted power on the audible bandwidth. 6. Cross over Switch CROSS OVER FULL HIGH LOW Adjust the crossover for your chosen installation method. LOW: Low pass filter-only bass tones(50Hz-150Hz)go to speakers. Use with woofer or subwoofer.
CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS Controls & Functions 9. LED Indicator PWR PROT PWR(Power): This GREEN LED will illuminate when the amplifier is turned "ON". If it fails to illuminate, check the power connections to the Amplifier and fuses. PROT(Protection): The amplifier protection circuitry will disable the amplifier if input overload, short circuit or extremely high temperature conditions are detected.

Note : GROUND WIRE SHOULD NOT BE EXTENDED MORE THAN 3 FT (1 METER). 13. Speaker terminals L L SPEAKER R R CH1 CH1 B/D PCX2.180/2.270/2.350/2.
PLANNING & MOUNTING YOUR SYSTEM Planning and Mounting Your System The mounting position of your Amplifier will have a great effect on its ability to dissipate the heat generated during normal operation. Under normal conditions, the heatsink will dissipate sufficient heat to avoid thermal shutdown. However please do not install the amplifier in a wooden box or similar device as this will prevent heat dissipation into the atmosphere.

The amplifier automatically turns on a few seconds after you turn your vehicle's ignition switch to ACC or ON or turn on your auto sound system, depending on how you wired the system. The POWER indicator on the top of the amplifier lights when the amplifier is on. Important : Your amplifier requires 30 amps or more of power from your vehicle's battery during operation. To protect your battery from discharging, do not operate the amplifier unless your vehicle is running.
TROUBLE SHOOTING Trouble Shooting SYMPTOMS REMEDY Is the power LED illuminated? (NO) Check all fuses to amplifier. Be sure Turn-on lead is connected Check signal leads. Check gain control. Check Tuner/Deck volume level. Clean contacts on fuse holders. Is the Diagnostic LED illuminated? (YES) Check for speaker short or amplifier overheating. No power to power wire Repair power wire or connections. No power to remote wire with receiver on Check connections to radio.
