Set the subwoofer channel 5 crossover setting to 80Hz
Low Pass and adjust the Bass Boost Equalizer to about
50%. Do not set the Low Pass crossover frequency too low.
Do not increase the Bass Boost equalizer beyond your
woofers capabilities. Plug in the remote bass control into the
jack marked REMOTE. Use only the cable which was supplied
with the amplifier.

In a full range system with passive crossovers you can set the
electronic crossovers of the ZRS C8 in the FULL RANGE
position so they receive the full frequency spectrum. You can
also choose to Bass Block the components by setting the
Crossover switches to HPF (High Pass Filter) at very low
frequencies no higher than 40-50Hz so that you protect the
smaller drivers in your system without eliminating too much of
the bass.

DUAL WOOFER INSTALLATION CHANNEL 5

If your head unit has 3 pairs of RCA jack out puts, Front 
+ Rear + Subwoofer input these in to all 6 amplifier 
input jacks and set the INPUT MODE switch to the 5CH 
position. If your head unit has just one pair of Sub-
woofer RCA outputs, use a “Y” adaptor for Channel 5 
input. 

5 CHANNEL INPUT MODE

If your head unit has 2 pairs of RCA jack out puts, Front 
+ Rear input these in to Ch1, 2, 3 & 4 amplifier input 
jacks and set the INPUT MODE switch to the 4CH 
position .The subwoofer channel will automatically get 
its signal from a mix of all four channels input signal 
without the need for a separate input.

4 CHANNEL INPUT MODE

If your head unit has 1 pairs of RCA jack out puts input 
them in to Ch1 and CH2 amplifier input jacks and set 
the INPUT MODE switch to the 2CH position. All 
amplifier channels including the subwoofer channel will 
hence be driven by these two inputs without the use of 
any “Y” adaptors.
