illus.-2.1

Power Connector

The power connector allows for quick connec-
tion and disconnection of the amplifier’s Re-
mote, power and ground source. The power and 
ground are set-screw wire connectors and will 
accommodate 4 AWG. The remote is a set-screw 
wire connector and will accommodate 8 AWG.

Phase Switch

Allows you to select the output phase of 
the amplifier between 0° and 180°.

Input Level

Set the Input Level switch to match the outputs of your 
source unit.(LO - RCA or HI - Speaker Level)

Auto Turn On

Three different automatic turn-on modes can be se-
lected; REM(+12V), DC Offset and Audio.

Variable Crossover

Is a built-in 12dB/octave Butterworth filter with 
a crossover point variable from 50Hz to 120Hz.

Punch EQ

This is an adjustable Bass control adjustment vari-
able from 0dB to +12dB @ 45Hz.

Power/Protect LED

Power LED illuminates green 
when the unit is turned on. 
Protect LED illuminates red 
if a short circuit or to low of 
an impedance is detected at 
the speaker connections. 
The amplifier will automati-
cally shut down if this oc-
curs.

Remote Punch Level Control

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.

Audio Input

The RCA/Speaker Harness utilizes either speaker 
level (high-level) or RCA (low-level) inputs. 

Input Level Control

The input level control is used to match the 
output of the audio source.
