Location and Function of Controls (outside)

   1. Inputs:  The 

 has two types of inputs, Pre-Amp and Speaker Level. These inputs should get  

their  signals  from  the  main  head  unit and should attach to either 

RCA  jacks or speaker leads that are 

coming out of your source unit. If your source unit has a front, rear and  subwoofer pre-amp output, 
connect them to identical inputs on your 

. If the source unit only has front and rear inputs, don't 

worry about losing your bass equalization,  the  

 will automatically routes your subwoofer 

equalization controls to the rear channels.

   2. Input Gain Controls: These knobs allow you to increase or decrease the signal level from your 
source  unit  to the 

. Most aftermarket  source  units  will require an increase whereas radios 

installed by the automobile manufacturer will probably require you to decrease the signal level. 

   3. Equalization Controls:

  Each of these knobs control  the  audio  spectrum. They can be adjusted 

the  audio output to suit your personnel taste. 

   4. Output Level Controls:    Although  your   

  has the ability to increase your signal voltage to 

13 volts  peak,  your  amplifiers may  not  necessarily accept that much signal. These controls allow  
you  to  regulate the proper amount of pre-amp signal from the  

  to  the  amplifiers. 

   5. Output Voltage Indicators:  These  LED's indicate the level of signal voltage that is coming out of 
the various outputs of your 

KEQ20.

   6. Outputs: These  RCA  connectors should be connected to the next component after the 

KEQ20

, such 

as a crossover or amplifier. Do not connect any speakers directly to your 

 or to any home 

appliances.

   7. Power Connections:   

With  this  connector,  you  can wire up the power, ground and remote turn-

on  from the convenience and then casually plug it in the back of your 

.
