PZi100.4 / PZi125.4 / PZi175.4 / 4 CHANNEL AMPLIFIER APPLICATIONS
4 CHANNEL FULL RANGE SYSTEM
2 or 3 CHANNEL FULL RANGE SYSTEM
Channels 3/4:
Here we show how to use the 4 channel amplifiers as straightforward discrete 4

channel full range units.
- LOW PASS: N/A
Interconnect cable checklist:
- Connect the four inputs of the amplifier to a Radio/CD with quality RCA cables.
Level control checklist:
- Refer to the section
“Setting up systems after installation for best performance”
Switch setting checklist:
Minimum final loudspeaker impedances:

Crossover frequency control checklist:
Channels 1/2:
- HI PASS: N/A
- LOW PASS: N/A
Channels 1/2:
Here we show how to use the 4 channel amplifiers as full range 2 or 3 channel units
- HI PASS: N/A
by taking advantage of the mono bridging capability of all Crunch amplifiers.
- LOW PASS: N/A
The following example shows how to create a 3 channel system by mono bridging
channel pair 3 / 4. In order to create a 2 channel system, simply follow the example

to also mono bridge channel pair 1 / 2.
- HI PASS: N/A
- LOW PASS: N/A
Interconnect cable checklist:
- Connect the inputs of channel pair 1/2 to a suitable stereo source, e.g. a head unit
TIP:
If you are using the mono sub bass output of an active crossover, there is
