This control adjusts the amplifier's input sensitivity. Input sensitivity is variable from 200 Millivolts to
8 volts. Clockwise increases sensitivity. Counterclockwise decreases sensitivity. The amplifier can
be driven to full power with a wide range of signal levels. A lower signal level will require
increased sensitivity for full power. A higher signal level will require decreased sensitivity.
Avoid setting sensitivity lower than necessary as this would introduce unwanted distortion.

The LINE OUT allows you to build multiple amplifier systems without having to use splitter cords
to distribute the signal. Now it is simply a matter of bringing one set of RCAS into the first amplifier,
then using the line out RCA jacks as the feed to the next amplifier.
Controls & Functions
By using the bass boost function, bass notes at 35Hz - 80Hz are emphasized as much as 10dB.

To avoid unwanted ignition noise caused by ground loops, it is essential that the Amplifier be
grounded to a clean, bare, metal surface of the vehicles chassis.
Note : GROUND WIRE SHOULD NOT BE EXTENDED MORE THAN 3 FT (1 METER).
Due to the power requirements of the Amplifier, this connection should be made directly to the
positive(+) terminal of battery. For safety measure, install an in-line fuse Holder (not included)
as close to the battery positive(+) terminal as possible with an ampere rating not to exceed
total value of fuses in Amp.

To remote wire car stereo.
This amplifier is turned "ON" remotely when vehicle's stereo is turned "ON"
Note : IF YOUR RADIO DOES NOT HAVE +12 VOLT OUTPUT LEAD WHEN TURNED ON, THE "REMOTE"
TERMINAL ON THE AMPLIFIER CAN BE CONNECTED TO VEHICLES ACCESSORY CIRCUIT WHICH
PROVIDES +12V WHEN THE CAR IS ON.
Variable Low-Pass Filter (50Hz-150Hz) : For use as a dedicated subwoofer channel, set filter
switch to "LPF". Adjust variable crossover frequency with control as desired. The amplifier input
circuit filters out everything above 50Hz .....150Hz (dependent on the adjustment of the frequency
control), so only the deepest bass notes are amplified.

POWER : This GREEN LED will illuminate when the amplifier is turned "ON". If it fails to
illuminate, check the power connections to the Amplifier and fuses.
PROTECT : The amplifier protection circuitry will disable the amplifier if input overload, short circuit
or extremely high temperature conditions are detected. When the protection mode is in operation,
the LED indicator on the side panel will be illuminated, indicating the amplifier has gone into a self-
preservation mode.
If you observe that the Protection LED is lit, please check the system carefully to determine what
has caused the protection circuit to engage. The amplifier can be reset by turning the remote power
off and then on again. If the amplifier shut down due to a thermal overload condition, please allow
it to cool down before restarting. If the a mplifier shut down because of an input overload or short
circuit, be sure to repair these conditions before attempting to power up the amplifier again.
