The RCA’s to your left are the ‘Line-in’ terminals and are to be connected with your radio/cassette
or CD player.
•
Each Caliber amplifier offers you the possibility to connect a second (or more) amplifier(s) to your
system via the “Signal-out” terminals. The advantage of two amplifiers is that one amplifier can be
used for normal stereo, while the other is used as a subwoofer amplifier.
•
All Caliber amplifiers have a variable input level adjustment. It allows you to match any signal source
(CD player, AM/FM cassettedeck, etc) correctly from its pre-amp output into your Caliber amplifier.
The adjustment ranges from 15V - 500mV(0.5V).
•
The Caliber Venom amplifiers feature a built-in variable crossover which allows you to fine-tune
your amplifiers response as you like it. Either for the Full Range sound, in which case the HPF-OFF-
LPF switch remains in its OFF position, or you can specifically select the High-Pass-Filter (HPF) or
Low-Pass-Filter (LPF) to adjust to your speakers requirements. The built-in variable crossover can
be adjusted in a range from 50Hz - 250Hz.

•
All the Caliber Venom amplifiers have a Stereo/Bridgeable Tri-Mode speaker output terminal. The
amplifier has its own stereo/bridge switch built-in, so there is no need to select a stereo or bridged
mode.You can connect the speakers to each channel in stereo mode, and simultaneously connect
a sub-woofer to the speaker terminal in the bridged mode.
•
Pay attention in connecting your speakers and sub-woofer. Be sure to observe correct speaker out-
put connections and polarity.
In the stereo mode, connect the right speaker output to the right speaker and the left to the left.
Connect the positive (+) output to the positive (+) speaker terminal and the negative (-) output
to the negative (-) speakerterminal.
•
In the bridged mode connect the right (+) positive to the positive speaker terminal and the left (-)
negative to the negative speaker terminal.
•
Do not use the negative speaker output commonly for left and right speakers (common ground).
Improper polarity causes a loss of bass response.
•
Never connect the negative speaker output to the chassis of your vehicle. This can cause severe
damage to your Car Audio System.

•
Put the input level adjustment knob to the minimum. Note the minimum input sensitivity of an
amplifier is 15V and not 0.5V.
•
Put the volume of your radio to 3/4 of the maximum.
•
Now it is time to adjust the input level. Slowly turn up the input level and listen carefully untill you
hear the amplifier begin to distort. A Caliber Amplifier “clips” very softly, so this can sometimes be
a difficult adjustment.
