low pass channel. All of the crossovers are bypassed , except the LOW PASS on 
channel 5. The 5 channels can also be utilized with an outboard active crossover,

or with crossovers in head units or equalizers.

- CH 3 / 4 LOW PASS: N/A

- CH 5 LOW PASS: 100 Hz

Interconnect cable checklist:

Connect channel 1&2 inputs to the front output, channels 3&4 to the rear output, 

Please  note  that  these  frequency  points  are  suggestions  only.  Refer  to  the
