signal the auto turn-on feature is active. With the auto turn-on active, 

the 

REM becomes an output to turn on/off up to two additional amplifiers or 

other accessories.

Pass Thru 

The pass-thru RCA’s are passive, including full input signal range and auto 

turn-on functionality when active. 

When utilizing Pass Thru jacks, up to 

two additional amplifiers can be connected together.

Infrasonic Filter

The 

28Hz 12dB/octave

 infrasonic filter limits the amount 

of low frequency information going to the woofer.

NOTE: We recommend using the infrasonic filter when using vented en-

closures with this amplifier.

Punch EQ

This works along with the crossover switch on the amplifier. When set to 

Low-Pass (LP) operation, this is a variable Bass Boost. When set to High-

Pass (HP) operation, this is a variable Mid-Bass and Treble Boost. When 

set to All-Pass (AP) operation, both the Bass and Treble frequencies are 

boosted. Set this to your personal preference while listening to the system.

Over excursion and subsequent damage may 

occur at high levels of boost.

Remote Punch Level Control (Option)

NOTE:  Previous  (prior  to  2013)  PEQ,  Punch  Bass  and  Para-Punch             

remotes will not work with these amplifiers.

Quick Install:

1.  Using the screws supplied, install the mounting clip.

2.  Slip the remote onto the mounting clip until it snaps into place.

3.  Route and connect the cable to the remote and amplifier.

Operation:

4.  When connected, the “Level Control” is linked and allows you to 

remotely control the output level of the amplifier from the dash or 

center console.

NOTE: Use the instructions that came with the remote for a variety of 

mountings that fit your preference.

Adjusting Crossover Frequency

Do the following individually for each 

channel.

Placing the crossover switch in the HP 

position sets the amplifier to the High 

Pass mode, enabling frequencies above the cut-off point to pass, adjust-

able between 50-250Hz.

Placing the crossover switch in the AP position sets the amplifier to the All 

Pass mode, preventing any crossover adjustment, allowing all frequencies 

to pass.

Placing the crossover switch in the LP position sets the amplifier to the 

Low Pass mode, enabling frequencies below the cut-off point to pass,  

adjustable between 50-250Hz.

Turn the crossover adjustment knob all the way down. With the system 

playing, turn the crossover adjustment knob up slowly until the desired 

crossover point is achieved.

2/4 Channel Switch

Setting this switch to the 2CH. position, switches 

the inputs to a 2-channel mode, allowing con-

nection to only the front inputs with a 4-channel 

output.

Output controls function the same as if the amplifier was in 4-channel 

mode.

All “ACTIVE” inputs must have RCA jacks connected.  

Switch in 2CH. position,“ACTIVE” - Front channel inputs only.  

Switch in 4CH. position,“ACTIVE” - All Front and Rear channel inputs.

NOTE: When connecting to the 4-Channel inputs, be sure to route both 

front and rear RCA cables tightly together.

Subwoofer Input Switch (P1000X5)

Setting this switch to the Off position, utilizes the front 

inputs, allowing connection to only the front inputs with 

a subwoofer output. Setting this switch to the On position 

uses sub input.

Output controls function the same as if the amplifier was in 5-channel 

mode.

All “ACTIVE” inputs must have RCA jacks connected.  

Switch in FRONT. position,“ACTIVE” - Front channel inputs only for sub 

output. Switch in SUB position,“ACTIVE” - Sub inputs for sub output.

NOTE: When connecting to the 5-Channel inputs, be sure to route front, 

rear and sub RCA cables tightly together.

High Level Input

Connect from source signal by plugging into the RCA input jacks at the 

amplifier. The input sensitivity ranges from 150mV-12V to accommodate 

signal from high-level(speaker) input. 

When utilizing high-level for input 

Input Clip Indicator Setup

Step 1.  Be sure to disconnect all speakers from the 

amplifier.

Failure to comply may cause damage to con-

nected components and/or amplifier.

Step 2.  Turn on the source unit with volume set to zero.

Step 3.  Adjust the Bass & Treble levels on the source unit to flat.

Step 4.  Insert test tone or music CD to play for setup.

Note: Use the 40Hz @ 0dB tone (Track 5) for mono amplifier applications 

or the 1kHz @ 0dB tone (Track 7) for multi-channel amplifier applications. 

Be sure your x-over is switched to the appropriate filter setting.

Step 5.  Increase the source unit volume until the Input Clip Indicator il-

luminates red. 

Note: Input Clip can be viewed remotely with optional PLC2.

Step 6.  Decrease the source unit volume slightly until the light turns 

completely off. This establishes your maximum source unit vol-

ume for adjusting the Output Clip Indicator. 

Note: Some source units will not clip.

Output Clip Indicator Setup

Step 7.  Be sure to disconnect Punch Level Control - PLC (if equipped) 

from the amplifier.

Step 8.  Adjust the Input Level knob until the Output Clip Indicator illu-

minates to the appropriate color. Repeat for all channel levels of 

input.

Step 9.  Turn the source unit volume down.

Step 10.  Reconnect all speakers and Punch Level Control 

- PLC (if equipped) to the amplifier. Be sure to 

maintain proper speaker polarity.
