LPF Crossover Frequency Control

This Control selects the crossover frequency when the
Sub woofer Crossover Selector       is in the "LPF" setting.
Adjust it to the appropriate position for the characteristics
and crossover frequency requirements of the speaker
system with which the amplifier is being used.

from the system.  If, however, there is still output from
the amplifier when the car stereo volume control is at its 
minimum setting, or the output level increases too fast
with a small rotation of the volume control, adjust the
Level control to decrease the output from the system.
Once the correct setting is found, these controls should
not require any further adjustment.

Crossover Selector

This switch allows selection of the frequency filters that
permit the amplifier to be used to reproduce the entire
audio range or just the bass range.
In the "FULL" position of the switch, the response is 
flat and unaffected so the entire audio frequency 
range is reproduced by the amplifier.  Use this setting 
if the amplifier is being used to power a full range 
speaker system in the "LPF" (Low-Pass Filter) setting, 
only the bass frequencies 

below

 the frequency set by 

the Crossover Frequency Control       will be amplified 
and fed to the speakers.  Use this setting if the 
amplifier is being used to power a sub-woofer speaker 
system.
HPF(High-Pass Filter): Only mid-high tone
(50Hz-250 Hz) Speaker.

High Level Input Connection

If the car stereo not does not provide low-level outputs, 
the amplifier may be connected via the speaker (high-
level) outputs from the stereo. Wire the speaker leads 
from the car stereo to the 5-pin adaptor harness as 
shown in the diagram (shielded cable is not required for 
this application) and plug the connector into mating High-
Level Input socket on the amplifier. Carefully splice and 
insulate all wire connections.

Fuse

The circuitry of the amplifier is protected from damage by
an automotive-type fast-blow fuse.  If fuse replacement
is necessary, use only fuses of the of the same ampere 
rating as originally supplied with the unit.  The use of fuses
with incorrect ratings may cause serious damage to the
amplifier.  If fuses blow consistently, carefully check all 
electrical connections to the unit.
