Installation Guide
The XOVER Mode switch sets the type
of crossover that will be active. 4 channel
models will have two switches, one for each
set of channels.
The HPF(high pass filter) control will limit the
output below the selected frequency. This
is typically used to protect midrange and hi
frequency speakers from damage and to
allow a smooth transition from a subwoofer.
The LPF(low pass filter) control
will limit output above the selected
frequency. This is used to allow
a smooth transition to the higher
frequency speakers.
1.
If possible, with the source unit off, confirm that the primary volume control is
turned down (counter clockwise).
2.
Turn on the source unit (CD, or MP3 player). Re-confirm that the volume is
turned down. Make sure the source unit controls; balance, fader, bass and
treble are all set to center or “0” adjustment. Make sure that the green LED on
the end of the amplifier is illuminated.
3.
Play a clean musical selection of which you are very familiar. CD is preferred.
Do not use radio signals for level setting. Hit play and start turning the volume
of the source unit up.
4.
Stop increasing the source unit volume when you reach 3/4 (about 75%) or until
you hear speakers begin to slightly start producing distortion.
5.
Increase the amplifier level (clockwise) until distortion is heard, then back
the level down (counter clockwise) until the distortion is eliminated. Small
adjustments may need to be made to balance the levels of multiple amplifiers.
The Bass EQ control will increase the power
output at 45Hz for more pronounced bass.
Exercise caution when using this control.
Increase the level in small amounts until
distortion is noticed, then back off a little.
Some models include a bass
remote. Avoid adjusting the bass
remote while operating vehicle.

This is a critical step to insure your amplifier
is properly adjusted to match the signal
output level of your source unit.
THIS IS NOT A VOLUME CONTROL!

Congratulations on your choice of a Hifonics amplifier.
This “Quick Start Installation” guide is meant to help you
“hook up” and play music.
The input MODE switch will select how the signal input
is distributed to the different channels. If you have signal
cables for front and rear channels, set the switch to 4CH.
Additionally if you have a dedicated subwoofer signal you
can use the 5CH setting(TMA-800.5 only). Use the 6CH
setting when you have all 6 input cables(TMA-1000.6 only)
2CH 4CH
