The gain knob is not a volume control.
It is designed to match the input level
of the amp to the output level of the
source unit. Over driving -clipping- the
input stage of the amp will cause
damage to the amplifier (Please refer
to table for settings).
• Test the alternator output. Factory alternator will produce 60 to 80 amperes at best. Wear and heat
will reduce the output by 40%.
• Alternator ground (-) must be reinforced, use 4-gauge cable instead of the factory 8-gauge.
• Alternator positive (+) to battery (+) must be reinforced. Use 4-gauge cables.
• Check your battery condition. Batteries degrade after a while.
• Battery (+) to amplifier (+) , must be a 4-gauge cable.
• Ground amplifier to chassis using 4-gauge cable, keep the cable short (maximum 2-feet).
• Use 1 farad capacitor to compensate for surges in demand.
• We recommend the use of one (1) auxiliary battery.

For best performance, set the
crossover knob to 200Hz (max).
Set the gain to minimum, and
slowly raise the gain. In general,
an ideal gain setting ranges
between the 9 to 10 O' Clock

DO NOT SOLDER THE TIP OF THE POWER
CABLE (+&-). IT REDUCES THE CONTACT
SURFACE BETWEEN THE CABLE AND THE
INSIDE
OF THE TERMINAL.
WHEN
TIGHTENING THE SCREW, A RAW CABLE (NO
SOLDER) EXPANDS INSIDE THE TERMINAL
CREATING LARGER CONTACT SURFACE;
THUS ELIMINATING HOT JUNCTIONS.
FUSE RATING SHOULD BE
NO LESS THAN 120 AMPERES
SIGNAL SENSOR:
This feature allows you to
eliminate the use of a remote wire to turn on your
amplifier.
In AUTO mode the amp will
automatically detect an incoming signal when the
stereo is turned on. If the amplifier does not
detect a signal within 20min. it will automatically
shutdown. When in REMOTE mode the amplifier
relies on the remote wire to detect a signal.
