The gain knob is not a volume control.
It is designed to match the input level
of the amp to the output level of the
source unit. Over driving -clipping- the
input stage of the amp will cause
damage to the amplifier (Please refer
to table for settings).
• Test the alternator output. Factory alternator will produce 60 to 80 amperes at best. Wear and heat
will reduce the output by 40%.
• Alternator ground (-) must be reinforced, use 4-gauge cable instead of the factory 8-gauge.
• Alternator positive (+) to battery (+) must be reinforced. Use 4-gauge cables.
• Check your battery condition. Batteries degrade after a while.
• Battery (+) to amplifier (+) , must be a 4-gauge cable.
• Ground amplifier to chassis using 4-gauge cable, keep the cable short (maximum 2-feet).
• Use 1 farad capacitor to compensate for surges in demand.
• We recommend the use of one (1) auxiliary battery.
To car chassis / ground
To remote turn on / trigger

One Subwoofer
Two Subwoofers
For best performance, set the
crossover knob to 200Hz (max).
Set the gain to minimum, and
slowly raise the gain. In general,
an ideal gain setting ranges
between the 9 to 10 O' Clock

DO NOT SOLDER THE TIP OF THE POWER
CABLE (+&-). IT REDUCES THE CONTACT
SURFACE BETWEEN THE CABLE AND THE
I N S I D E O F T H E T E R M I N A L . W H E N
TIGHTENING THE SCREW, A RAW CABLE (NO
SOLDER) EXPANDS INSIDE THE TERMINAL
CREATING LARGER CONTACT SURFACE;
THUS ELIMINATING HOT JUNCTIONS.
FUSE RATING SHOULD BE
NO LESS THAN 120 AMPERES
