BASIC APPLICATION

10

The 1 channel mono amplifiers are capable of 4, 2 & 1 Ohms loads and can be 
used in any of the “bi-amplifier” systems described in the XXV-Juno and XXV-Gemini
directions.

SINGLE AMP INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:

4. Connect a 0 gauge ground cables directly to chassis ground with in 36” of the amp.

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

quality RCA interconnect cables.

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

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

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

3. Route a 0 gauge power cables directly to the vehicle battery with an in-line fuse.

6. Make sure the MASTER/SLAVE switch is in the MASTER position.
Note: The amplifier will not work if the MASTER/SLAVE switch is in the Slave position

DUAL  AMP INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:

5. Connect four 0 gauge ground cables directly to chassis ground with in 36” of the amp.
