101.   set frOnt channels gain

Insert the test tone CD.  Play a 500Hz tone on repeat.  Set your 
voltmeter to read AC voltage.  Measure the voltage across the 
Front Right positive & negative speaker terminals on the amp.  
Turn the headunit volume up until you see 2.65V output (again, 
adjust the 

headunit volume

 – do not change the gain on the amp).

With the test tone still playing, check the output voltage on the 
Front Left channel.  Adjust the Front Left Input Sensitivity on the 
amp to 2.65V output also.

102.   center suBwOOfer reMOte vOluMe cOntrOl

Leave the headunit volume unchanged.  Play a 31.5Hz tone on 
repeat.  

Turn 

Subwoofer Remote Volume Control

 on the dash to the center 

position (i.e. 50% volume).  

103.   set suBwOOfer gain (rear aMplifier channels)

Measure the output voltage on the Rear Right channel output.  
Adjust the 

Amplifier GAIN

 

for the Right Rear channel up until you 

read 7V output.  Repeat for the Left Rear channel.  Measure the 
bridged output voltage (measure across the outer terminals where 
the subwoofer output wires are connected).  You should see 14V.  

104.   set suBwOOfer gain (rear aMp channels)

Double-check your readings.  It is CRITICAL that you maintain 
the headunit volume throughout the process.  If the headunit 
turns off, you MUST go back to the 500Hz tone and re-confirm 
that you have 2.65V output on the front channels before proceed-
ing with the subwoofer settings.  You will NOT get 2.65V on the 
Front channels with the 31.5Hz tone! (the electronic crossover in 
the amp is blocking the low frequencies on the front!).

105.  cOnnect suBwOOfer

Connect the Neutrik plug to the subwoofer.  Slide the subwoofer 
into the compartment.  Do not attach the mounting screws yet.
