CONTROLS AND SETUP
SETTING THE
CROSSOVER(S)
Determine your system plans and set
the crossover mode switch accordingly.
If your system design does not include
a subwoofer, set the crossover mode to
OFF and skip to “Setting Input Sensitivity.”
Initially set the crossover frequency
control midway. While listening to music,
adjust the crossover for the least
perceived distortion from the speakers,
allowing them to reproduce as much
bass as possible.
Systems using a separate subwoofer set
the crossover mode to HP (high pass) for
your full-range speakers. Adjust the
crossover frequency to limit bass and
provide increased system volume with
less distortion.
For subwoofers, choose the highest
frequency that removes vocal information
from the sound of the subwoofer.
If using the GTO4060 or GTO2060 to drive a
subwoofer(s), set the crossover mode to
LP (low pass).
SETTING INPUT
SENSITIVITY
1. Initially turn the GAIN control(s) to
minimum (counter clockwise).
2. Reconnect the (–) negative lead to the
vehicle’s battery. Apply power to the
audio system and play a dynamic music
track.
3. On the source unit, increase the volume
control to 3/4 volume. Slowly increase
the GAIN control(s) toward three o’clock
until you hear slight distortion in the
music. Then reduce the GAIN slightly
until distortion is no longer heard.
NOTE:
After the source unit is on, a blue
LED will light, indicating the amplifier is on.
If not, check the wiring, especially the
remote connection from the source unit.
Also refer to “Troubleshooting” guide.
