INPUT

Connect preamp signal cables from the headunit to Rca Input of SS4. 

OUTPUT
Connect Output Rea Jack to another amplifier's input.

GAIN ( 8V ~ 0.2V)

Matching the output voltage of the headunit's 
RCA line-outs to SS4 input section.

HIGH PASS FILTER ( 20Hz ~ 5KHz )

Controls the high pass point for the speaker outputs.

HPF CROSSOVER SELECTOR
High Pass Filter selector determines whether SS2a/SS4a will operate in 
High pass or full range mode.
in on position, it will play the frequency set on High Pass, 
in off position, the High pass will have no effect

LOW PASS FILTER ( 50Hz ~ 5KHz )

Controls the low pass point for the speaker outputs.

LPF CROSSOVER SELECTOR
Low  Pass  Filter  selector  determines  whether  SS2a/SS4a  will  operate  in 
Low pass or full range mode.
in on position, it will play the frequency set on Low Pass, 
in off position, the Low pass will have no effect

POWER & PROTECTION INDICATOR
Power  LED,  Green-lit  shows  correct  operation  of  The  SS-Class  Amplifiers. 
Protect  LED,  RED-lits  shows  general  malfunction,  faulty  connection  and 

thermal protection

4. INSTALLATION

In case you install The M&S-Class amplifiers by yourself, please read owner's manual 
and follow your installation steps very carefully.
Before you start your installation, please take all steps into consideration.
or, you can have Digital Designs authorized distributors to check installation and turn in

your car audio systems

4-1. MOUNTING PREPARATION

Disconnect the negative (—) battery cable before mounting The M&S-Class amplifiers or making any 

connections. Check the battery and alternator ground (—) connections.

Make sure they are properly connected and Free of corrosion.
Before selecting a mounting location for The M&S-Class amplifiers, Pis take some concerns into 
consideration with cooling efficiency and safety.

4-2. MOUNTING PREPARATION

The M&S-Class amplifiers use heavy-duty and good heat radiation heatsink design for avoiding 
excessive heat from amplifiers' circuitry. But for better heat radiation performance, It is good to find 

the mounting location, where you can install the M&S-Class amplifiers vertically with the heatsink 
fins and better air flow around The M&S-Class amplifiers.
For the safety, you have to find dry and well ventilated location and make sure any cables and car 

equipment are not interfaced with mounting location.
Be sure the mounting location and drilling of pilot cables for mounting will not present a hazard to 
any cables, control cables, fuel lines, Fuel tanks, hydraulic lines or other vehicle systems or components

4-3. + 12V, GND, REM CONNECTION

+ 12V ( POWER CONNECTION )

Before mounting The M&S-Class amplifiers, disconnect the negative (—) wire from battery to 
protect any accidental damage to amplifier and audio system.

The M&S-Class amplifiers are designed to use 0 gauge or 4 gauge power and ground connection.
