AMPLIFIER SETTINGS
Before source unit and dash reassembly, make (or verify) the following settings the amplifiers. See the
INITIAL TESTING and FINE TUNING sections for additional information on final system adjustments and
personalized settings. The chart below provides general crossover filter and bass boost switch settings
depending on the Can-Am X3 UTV-Tuned Audio package you have.

This manual assumes the full Stage 5 System and provides the information for initial settings accordingly.
STEP 1 – ADJUST TWO-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER
Make the following initial adjustments to the
NA2-400.2 shown at right:
●
X-OVER
- Switch to “HP” position.
●
LEVEL
- Rotate control to halfway starting at
9V (dial pointing up). This represents an input
level that will closely match the source unit’s
output at full volume allowing the amplifier to
achieve full power without notable distortion.
●
HP
- Rotate control to halfway from 15 Hz
(pointing up). This is approximately 80HZ.
●
LP
- Not used in this application (position does not matter).
STEP 2 – ADJUST MONO AMPLIFIER
Make the following initial adjustments to the
NA2-400.1 shown at right:
●
BOOST
- Switch to “0dB” position.
●
LEVEL
- Rotate control to 3/4 of the rotation
starting at 9v (dial pointing side to side). This
represents an input level to match the source
unit’s output at full volume allowing the full
power without notable distortion. Note source
unit’s “SUB OUT” level setting on next page
(35dB) to correlate with this recommendation.
●
LPF
- Rotate control to 1/4 turn starting at 50 Hz (dial pointing diagonal as shown). This is approximately
100Hz. Note that the source unit’s SUB OUT frequency setting on the next page is also set to 100Hz to
correlate with this recommendation.
●
SUBSONIC
- A subsonic filter protects the subwoofer from over excursion. Rotate control to 1/4 turn
starting at 15Hz (dial pointing diagonal) as shown. This is approximately 31Hz.
