XXV COLOSSUS DUAL MONO BLOCK AMPLIFIER APPLICATIONS

BASIC APPLICATION

9

The Dual Mono Block amplifiers are capable of 4, 2 & 1 Ohm stereo and 4 & 2
bridged loads and can be used in any of the “bi-amplifier” systems described
in the XXV-Juno and XXV-Gemini directions.
The XXV-Colossus has two 1600 watt D-Class channels built-in labeled
L & R on the end panel.

SINGLE AMP INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:

1. Connect the  amp LINE INPUTS to the Radio/CD player full range or mono line out puts 

4. Connect a 2 gauge ground cable directly to chassis ground with in 36” of the amp.

with good quality RCA interconnect cables.

   - Be sure to remove any paint or primer from the ground point.

2. Plug in the XXVR-1 bass remote module into the amp REMOTE INPUT jack.

   - Use a nut, bolt and lock washer to secure the ground cable to the chassis ground.

3. Route a 2 gauge power cable directly to the vehicle battery with an in-line 300 amp fuse.

5. Connect the subwoofer(s) in accordance to the diagrams below.

This will allow you to operate separate subs independently (on each channel L 
or R) at 4, 2 or 1 Ohm at up to 1600 watts or bridged across L & R to operate a
single sub up to 3200 watts at 4 or 2 Ohms. 

Note: The amp is not capable of 1 Ohm when bridged across L & R.

The crossovers and XXVR-1 Bass Remote Module will operate both L & R 
channels simultaneously.
