INTERCONNECTION
• Connect the RCA lineouts of the headunit with the RCA jacks LINE IN of the amplifier with appropriate high-value RCA cables.
If your headunit is equipped with a additional subwoofer lineout (SUB OUT), it is recommended to use this lineout.
• Connect the subwoofer with the speaker outputs (SPEAKER O BRIDGED -) by using appropriate wires.
• Ensure by any means, that the total impedance load of the channel-pair is not lower than 4 ohms. Too low impedance cause high
temperature and will shut down the amplifier operation.
• Always ensure the correct polarity of the speakers. The interchange of plus and minus cause total loss of bass playback and could
damage the speakers.
CROSSOVER SETTINGS
• In the mono/subwoofer mode the X-OVER MODE switch must set to the LPF/BPF position (Lowpass/Bandpass mode), thereby the
higher frequencies will be eliminated. The cut-off frequency ist adjustable with the LPF controller and should be set between
60 to 100 Hz, depending on the size of the subwoofer.
• In the lowpass mode the HPF controller works also as subsonicfilter, that eliminates the ultra-low, not hearable and harmful
frequencies to generate a bandpass signal (Bandpass mode). The subsonic frequency should be set between 15 to 40 Hz, depending
on the size of the subwoofer. NOTE: If this value is higher than the lowpass setting, no sound is hearable.
LEVEL CONTROLLER
• Turn the LEVEL controller of the amplifier to the MIN. position.
• Turn the volume controller of the headunit to 80 - 90% of its full setting.
• Turn the LEVEL controller clockwise until you hear some distortion.
• Then turn back the LEVEL controller slightly until you hear a cleaner sound.
BOOST CONTROLLER
• The BOOST controller adjusts the bass enhancement between 0db and +12dB @ 50 Hz.
• A too high bass boost may cause clipping/distortion and damage on the loudspeakers and also may harm your hearing abilities.
Use this controller carefully!
REMOTE BASS LEVEL CONTROLLER
• The enclosed remote BASS LEVEL Controller adjusts the bass-level e.g. from the driver’s seat.
Please use only the enclosed controller and cable.
