Connect speakers

Note

Use speakers with an impedance of 2 to 8 ohm (4 to 8 ohm when used as a bridged amplifier).

Match the "left", "right", "+" and "-" terminals correctly. Revised polarity may degrade sound quality.

Option 1: Stereo mode: connect 2 speakers

① 4 ohm speaker 4 ohm speaker

Option 2: Mono bridged mode: connect 1 speaker

② 4 ohm speaker

Option 3: Tri-mode: connect 3 speakers

③ 4 ohm speaker 4 ohm speaker 8 ohm speaker

Connect car audio

Option 1: Line input connection

Tip

• If your car audio does not have remote output, connect the remote input terminal (REM) to the accessory power supply.
  • To avoid short circuit, cover the power socket with the supplied shield and screws after connected power wires. See below illustration:

4 Use your power amplifier

Select filter mode

Select Filter Mode according to the connected speaker type.

1 Slide FILTER MODE to the selected position.

• HPF (high-pass-filter): Select this mode when mid-range speakers and tweeters are connected for high frequency output.
• LPF (low-pass-filter): Select this mode when woofer and subwoofer are connected for low frequency output.
  • OFF (flat): Select this mode when both tweeters and woofers are connected.

Select LPF frequency

When FILTER MODE is set at LPF position, you can select the range of frequency that is to be filtered.

Note

- When FILTER MODE is set at OFF or HPF position, LPF FREQUENCY does not work.

1 Slide LPF FREQUENCY to the selected position.

• 80Hz: More high frequency signal is filtered. Select 80Hz if you prefer stronger bass effect.
  • 180Hz: Less high frequency signal is filtered.

Adjust input level

To ensure sound quality, adjust input level to match it with the car audio's output voltage.

1 Check the line output voltage of the connected car audio.
2 Rotate INPUT LEVEL to select a matched voltage: 0.3V to 6V.

Adjust bass boost

To enjoy more bass sound:

1 Set FILTER MODE at OFF or LPF mode.
2 Slide BASS BOOST to 12dB position.

Tip

- If BASS BOOST is set at 0dB position, no extra bass will be boosted.

Note

- If FILTER MODE is set at HPF mode, the bass frequency will be filtered.

About the protector indicator

The amplifier has a built-in protection circuit to protect the transistors and speakers in following conditions:

The amplifier is overheated.

A DC current is generated in • speakers.

The battery voltage is too low or too high. Or

The speaker terminals are short • circuited.

When the PROTECTED indicator lights up in red, the amplifier shuts down automatically. In this case please:

1 Take out the disc or tape and turn off the car audio.
2 Check the cause of the malfunction.
3 If the amplifier is overheated, let it cool down.

Replace fuse

If there is no power, the fuse might be damaged and need to be replaced.

1 Pull out the damaged fuse.
2 Replace the fuse with the supplied fuse or buy a new fuse that matches the rating of the damaged fuse (30A × 1).
