BRE1100.1D / BRE1600.1D MONO AMPLIFIER APPLICATIONS 

Basic application

Interconnect cable checklist:
- Connect the line inputs to a Radio/CD RCA outputs or line output of the 

Minimum final loudspeaker impedance:

full range primary amplifier with good quality RCA cables. A “Y” adapter 

 - 1 ohm.

may be needed as shown in the diagram.

- Use at least 16 gauge speaker wiring. These amplifiers have dual 
speaker terminals, simplifying the hookup of multiple speakers. The 2 
positives are the same and the 2 negatives are the same. 

Crossover frequency control checklist:
- LOW PASS: 35Hz to 250Hz
- SUBSONIC:15 Hz to 35 Hz
- BASS EQ: 0 to 10dB
- PHASE: 0 to 180 degrees

Level control checklist:
-  Refer  to  the  section 

“Setting  up  systems  after  installation  for  best 

performance”

FULL RANGE

STEREO LINE INPUT

NOT USED

Y-ADAPTOR

Note: You can use the Radio/CD designated mono line output
or a full range stereo line output. For full range stereo line output,
you will need an optional “Y-Adaptor” as shown
