OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
CROSSOVER SELECTION:
Remove plug on bottom of amplifier and select frequency, which sounds best
with your system by placing the switch at one of the 3 positions marked 60Hz,
80Hz or 110Hz. This also sets the high pass output frequency. When this is
accomplished, replace plug.
GAIN ADJUSTMENT:
Set the amp gain to minimum, turn the source up until it just starts to distort, then
back down slightly. This is the point where the output of the source is cleanest.
Now, bring the gain of the amp up until it just starts to distort and back it down
slightly. This will allow the source and amp to reach maximum usable output at
the same time.
MOUNTING
1. The amplifier will work best if it is kept as cool as possible. Mount in a position
that allows air to flow freely through the fins. Be sure there is ample space above
the amplifier to avoid trapping heated air rising from the amplifier. The amplifier
should not be mounted upside down. Avoid mounting any amplifier in the dash or
on the firewall to avoid noises being radiated directly into the case.
2. Mount your amplifier in a position that allows ample room for gain adjustments,
and the installation, removal and attachment of leads.
3. The case of your amplifier is designed to act as a noise shield. To maintain
this protection, be sure the metal case of the amp does not touch the metal of the
car. Do not remove or damage the rubber grommets, which provide electrical
insulation and vibration isolation.
OPERATION/ADJUSTMENT
The output of most any car audio equipment will follow a common distortion
curve. This curve will show that the distortion is at its lowest level right before the
amp reaches full rated output. After that point, the distortion increases rapidly to
unusable levels. For any system to operate at minimum distortion with minimum
noise and still reach full power output, the equipment should be aligned to
operate at the same point on the curve at the same time.
