5. GAIN Control

This control is used to match the input sensitivity of the amplifier to the particular source unit that you are 

using up to 6 volts.

6. SUB SONIC Control

This control is continuously adjustable from 15Hz through 50Hz at 12dB per octave to provide an extra level of 

subwoofer protection from bass robbing power at unheard frequencies.

 

7. LPF (Low Pass Filter) Control

This filter controls low pass of frequencies and is adjustable from 30Hz through 250Hz to eliminate unwanted 

high frequencies.

8. SPEAKER Output Terminals

As shown in the wiring diagrams, be sure to observe speaker polarity through the system and speaker impedance. 

The clamp style wire terminal is designed to accommodate up to 10 gauge speaker wire (#8 spade).

9. POWER/STATUS Indicator

The clear LED turns BLUE when the power is on. Should the LED turn RED this is an indicator there is a problem 

with the system in relation to the amplifer (see Troubleshooting Tips).

10. FUSES

For convenience most PowerBass AutoSound amplifiers utilize common automotive ATC type fuses.  For 

continued protection in the event that a fuse blows, replace the fuse only with the same value. 

CAUTION: 

These power fuses on the amplifier chassis are for protecting the amp against over current situation. 

To protect the vehicles electrical system, an additional fuse should be used within 18-inches of the 

battery on the 12V+ cable.

11. BATT+ (Power Input Terminal)

This terminal is the main power input for the amplifier and must be connected directly to the positive (+) 

terminal of the car battery. The clamp style wire terminal is designed to accommodate up to 4-gauge wire (#10 

ring). See Power Cable Selection Chart for recommended wire gauge for each model.

12. REM (Remote Input Terminal)

All PowerBass AutoSound amplifiers can be turned on by applying 12 volts to this terminal. This can be found 

on the rear of the source unit in the form of an electric antenna output, or a remote output. If this is not 

available you can wire to the ACC position on the key.  An 18 gauge wire is sufficient to run the REMOTE.

13. GND (Ground Input Terminal)

A good quality ground is required for your PowerBass AutoSound amplifier to operate at peak performance.  

A short length of cable the same gauge as your power cable should be used to attach the ground terminal directly 

to the chassis of the vehicle.  The clamp style wire terminal is designed to accommodate up to 4-gauge wire 

(#10 ring). Make sure that all of the paint is sanded or scraped away to ensure a quality ground connection
