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: Mono bridged mode: connect 2 speaker

Option 2: Stereo mode: connect 4 speakers

Option 3: Tri-mode: connect 6 speakers

Connect car audio

Option 1: High level input connection

Connect the amplifier to your car audio with the supplied High level input connector.

Adjust input level

You can adjust the input voltage from 0.3V to 6V.

1 Rotate INPUT LEVEL to adjust input voltage.

Adjust bass boost

You can punch extra bass for 0 to 12dB.

1 Rotate BASS BOOST to punch for extra bass.

About the protector indicator

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

The unit is overheated. Or• A DC current is generated. Or• The battery voltage is over low or • over high. Or

The speaker terminals are short • circuited.

When the PROTECT indicator lights up in red, the unit shuts down automatically. If this happens, please:

1 Take out the disc or tape and turn off the car audio.
2 Check the cause of the malfunction (see above).
3 If the amplifier has overheated, wait until the unit cools down before use.

Replace fuse

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

1 Pull out the damaged fuse.
2 Replace the fuse with the supplied fuses or to buy two fuses that matches the voltage of the damaged fuse (20A × 2).
