Frequently Asked Questions - M-1350 Sound Ordnance

Why does the amplifier have no power and the POWER LED does not light up?

Check the ground (GND) connection, the REMOTE wire (must have +12V when radio is on), and the +12V B+ connection. Ensure the fuse is not blown and is the correct rating.

What should I do if the POWER LED lights but there is no sound?

Make sure the car radio volume is turned up, the GAIN control on the amplifier is not at minimum, and the speakers are properly connected to the speaker outputs.

The PROTECTION LED is on and there is no sound. What does that mean?

This indicates a short circuit at the speaker output or overheating. Turn off the amplifier, check speaker wiring for shorts, and allow the amp to cool down before restarting.

One channel is not working. How can I fix it?

For a mono amplifier, there is only one channel. If you have a different model, check the RCA input connections, speaker wiring, and the balance control on the car radio.

How can I reduce static or unwanted noise?

Ensure a clean ground connection (remove paint/rust), use the same ground point for both radio and amp, keep RCA cables away from power cables, and check ignition system shielding.

Why is the bass weak or missing?

Check speaker polarity (one reversed cancels bass), verify the LPF and subsonic filter are set correctly, and adjust the SUPER BASS switch or car radio bass control.

How do I set the crossover and gain correctly?

Set the X-OVER switch to LPF for subwoofers, adjust LPF frequency to match your sub (typically 80-120 Hz), and set GAIN after turning car radio volume to 75% to match without distortion.

Can I bridge the M-1350 to a single speaker?

The M-1350 is a mono amplifier, so it is already a single channel. Use the speaker output with a minimum 2-ohm load. No bridging is needed.

What are the installation safety precautions?

Disconnect the battery negative terminal first. Avoid drilling into fuel/brake lines. Ensure the amplifier is securely mounted and has adequate ventilation (1/4 inch clearance). Use proper gauge power wires.

How do I clean and maintain the amplifier?

Regularly check cables and housing for damage. If the amplifier is damaged, does not function, or has been stressed, disconnect power and contact support. Replace fuses only with same type and rating.

SETUP AND INSTALLATION

To ensure proper operation, please read these instructions carefully before installing and using this amplifier.

Modifications to the vehicle required by installation of the amplifier or other components should always be done in a way that does not affect the road safety or the designed stability of the car. If you are in doubt when selecting a place for installation, consult your local car dealership.

Since the amplifier generates heat, be sure to install in a heat-resistant location. There must also be an open area of ¼" around the amplifier's housing for adequate ventilation. Air circulation may not be obstructed by objects such as magazines, blankets, maps, etc.

Before drilling any holes in your car, make sure that electric cables, brake lines, fuel tank or similar systems will not be damaged.

When installing the car audio components, consider the danger of parts breaking loose during an accident. Make sure each component of your system is fastened tightly, and located at a place where it cannot become a risk for passengers in the event of an accident.

Select a suitable position for mounting the amplifier. A suitable place for mounting has the following features:

• dry
  • as free from dust as possible
• minimal vibration
  • good air circulation
• heat-resistant environment

Good places for installation are the car trunk or the free space under the seats. Another good place for installation is the bulkhead between the trunk and the passenger compartment. Make sure that the amplifier is accessible after installation so you can access the controls.

• Mark the holes for the screws at the place of installation. The simplest way to do this is place the amp where you want it and use it as a pattern.
• Drill the holes for the fastening screws.
• Secure the amplifier with sheet metal screws.

To avoid short circuits and resulting damages to the device the negative terminal (ground) of the car battery must be disconnected first. Before reconnecting the negative terminal to the battery, make sure that the amplifier has been completely connected. For some newer cars, this may require a service call to reset some functions. Check with your car dealer.

You should only use a digital voltmeter or a diode test lamp for checking the voltage applying at car cables. A normal test lamps draws too much current and can damage the electronic system of the car.

Make sure that the connection cables are not damaged by sharp edges. Use rubber bushings for points passing through metal.

Call us at 1-800-955-9094 if you have questions during setup.

Use heavy gauge cable for connecting the power supply and the ground of the amplifier. The gauge of the cable depends on the power requirements of the components connected. If the gauge is too light, the cable could burn. Moreover, the increased resistance can lead to unnecessary power losses.

An additional fuse in the amp's positive connection is necessary (fuse and fuse holder not included). The fuse should be installed close to the battery. In case of short circuit (e.g. if the connection cable is worn through) this fuse disconnects the

positive lead and thus avoids damage to the battery and prevents the supply cable from burning.

The voltage rating of the fuse depends on the power consumption of the connected devices of the car audio system.

In order to reduce interference or noise in the system, the amplifier should be directly powered by the car battery. Do not supply other electric loads, such as the cooling fan, windsheild washer etc., via the same cable as the amplifier.

POWER CONNECTIONS

Connect the "B+" connector of the power supply's terminal directly to the car battery's positive terminal

Connect the "REMOTE" or "REM" connector to the terminal on the power supply, to the remote control connector, or to the antenna control output of the car's radio. The amplifier will be switched on via this input when +12V current is applied. Almost all car radios have an output which provides a +12V current when the radio is turned on.

Connect the "GND" connector of the power supply to the negative terminal (ground) of the battery or to the car body. Note: Since electrical

conductivity is limited by the use of glue and paint on metal parts, not every metal component is suitable to function as a grounding point.

Distribute the power supply in a star-shaped way, i.e. the connections of the negative leads start from one and the same point for all components of the car's audio system. This method of distribution avoids ground loops and interference. Connect the positive leads in the same way.

CONNECTING THE INPUTS

ALL MODELS These amplifiers have RCA inputs for connection to your car stereo's preamp outputs. Car radios with RCA outputs can be directly connected to the input sockets. If your car radio only has speaker outputs, you can use an optional adapter to make the connection.

MODEL M-2100 This amplifiers has both speaker and RCA inputs for connection to your car radio. If your

car radio has RCA outputs, the amplifier should be connected via the RCA inputs in any case to ensure a high playback quality.

But if your radio car is not provided with RCA outputs, you can connect the amplifier to the speaker outputs without requiring any additional devices or adapters. Never use the two input types (loudspeaker and RCA inputs) simultaneously.

4-CHANNEL MODELS

Connect the RCA outputs of your car radio to the RCA connections IN (1) of the amplifier.

rear car stereo outputs > connect to amplifier REAR IN

front car stereo outputs > connect to amplifier FRONT IN

Pay attention to the marking on the RCA connections:

L > left

R > right

If your car radio does not have 4 preamplifier outputs use an optional Y-adapter. You will not be able to fade signal front to back when connected in this way.

2-CHANNEL AND MONO AMPS

Connection via the RCA inputs

Connect the RCA outputs of your car radio to the RCA connections IN (1) of the amplifier.

Note the markings on the RCA connections:

L > left

R > right

Connection via the loudspeaker inputs (Model M-2100 only)

Plug the included speaker cable into the connection HIGH IN (3) of the amplifier.

Connect the speaker outputs of your car radio to the terminals of the speaker connection cable.

L+ connection > left positive speaker output

L- connection > left negative speaker output

R- connection > right negative speaker output

R+ connection > right positive speaker output

Keep the length of the connection cables as short as possible.

Do not install the RCA cables close to other cables to avoid interface at the amplifier input.

Only sources with a RCA plug should be connected to the RCA inputs and

only speaker outputs should be connected to the speaker inputs to avoid distortion or mismatches that could damage the power amplifier.

Please note the connection loads in the Technical Data.

When connecting the RCA inputs, use only shielded RCA cables suitable for this purpose. The use of any other type of cable may cause interference.

CONNECTING THE SPEAKER OUTPUTS

Depending on your model, Sound Ordnance amplifiers have outputs for four speakers, two speaker, or one speaker

Each of the pairs of speaker outputs can also be used in the mono-bridge mode. Only one loudspeaker is powered in this mode, but the available output voltage is higher.

Strip the insulation from the cables on the ends. Make sure that there are no sharp edges which may damage the cables. Only use speakers whose power handling matches the amp's output (see Technical Data).

Always connect the speakers with the correct polarity.

Speaker wires are usually coded. Some loudspeaker manufacturers indicate the (+) wire by means of an additional color stripe, others use a corrugated cable for the (+) terminal and a smooth one for the (-) terminal.

Sound Ordnance amplifiers have been designed for a loudspeaker impedance of at least 2 ohms (stereo mode) or 4 ohms (mono-bridge mode). Never connect speakers with a lower impedance.

Depending on the model and mode of operation, connect the loudspeaker outputs according to the following schemes. Observe the minimum impedance given for the corresponding mode of operation.

MODEL M-4100, M-4075, M-4050

Stereo Mode - 2 ohm minimum impedance

MODEL M-4100, M-4075, M-4050

Stereo/Bridged Mode - 4 ohm minimum impedance bridged

MODEL M-4100, M-4075, M-4050

Bricged Mode - 4 ohm minimum impedance

MODEL M-2100 AND M-2250

Stereo Mode - 2 ohm minimum impedance

MODEL M-2100 AND M-2250

Bridged Mode - 4 ohm minimum impedance

MODEL M-1500 AND M-1350

2 ohm minimum impedance

CONNECTING THE RCA OUTPUTS

In addition to the speaker outputs, all models except the M4100 have RCA outputs so the input signal can be fed to other components of the car's audio system.

To use the preamp output, connect the connection OUT (8) with the input of the subsequent component, connecting the L channel to the left input of the device, and the R channel to the R input of the device.

When connecting the RCA outputs, use only shielded RCA cables suitable for this purpose. The use of any other cable may cause interference.

Keep the length of the connection cables as short as possible.

Do not install the RCA cables in the proximity of other cables to avoid interface at the input of the component.

To avoid distortion or mismatching which could damage the amplifier or the subsequent component, only devices with RCA inputs may be connected to the RCA outputs.

OPERATION

Active Crossover

M-4050, M-4075, M-4100

These amplifiers are provided with an active crossover which lets you switch to a high-pass or a low-pass filter for the rear channels. One high-pass filter is provided for the front channels. The cut-off frequencies can be continuously adjusted.

M-2100, M-2250

These amplifiers are provided with an active crossover which lets you switch to a high-pass or low-pass filter for the two channels. The cut-off frequencies can be continuously adjusted.

M-1350, M-1500

These amplifiers are provided with a low-pass filter for the output. The cut-off frequencies can be continuously adjusted.

FULL:

Crossover switched off, the amplifier branch plays back the complete frequency range

HPF:

High-pass crossover switched on, the amplifier branch only plays back the frequency range above the frequency set via the HPF (6) control unit.

LPF:

Low-pass crossover switched on, the amplifier branch only plays back the frequency range below the frequency set via the LPF control unit (8).

Subsonic Filter

The subsonic filter blocks out ultralow frequencies below the level the switch is set to.

Super Bass Switch

The amplifier has a bass-boost switch to amplify the low-bass frequencies in two stages. This option can give smaller bass loudspeakers or sub-woofers a little more volume in the low-bass range.

The SUPER BASS (5) controls the low-bass amplification

Position 0:

Low-bass amplifier is turned off

Position 6:

Low bass is amplified by 6dB

Position 12:

Low bass is amplified by 12dB

INITIAL STARTUP

After you have checked the cable connections, reconnect the negative terminal of the battery.

Turn the GAIN control unit (4) counterclockwise to minimum.

Slide the frequency crossover switch X-OVER (7) into the position corresponding to your configuration.

Set the cut-off frequencies for the connected loudspeakers via the HPF (8) and LPF (6) control units.

(see "Active Filter")

The cut-off frequencies can be set continuously within their specified ranges.

During setup, pay attention to the frequency range of the speakers.

Switch on your car radio.

If the indicator LED POWER (11)

lights up, set the volume of the car radio to about 75% of the maximum volume.

Now, use the GAIN control (4) to adjust the maximum volume of the loudspeakers to a level that is comfortable for you. If you use several amplifiers, match the volumes of the different amplifiers one to the other.

Then, set an average volume level via the volume control unit of the car radio.

Set an average volume level using the control unit of the car radio.

If the low-bass playback is too weak, you can activate a two-stage low-bass amplifier via the SUPER BASS switch (5).

If the indicator LED PROTECTION (5) lights, an error has occurred. The amplifier should be switched off

immediately. Check all connections and loudspeakers. If you cannot detect an error, please call us at 1-800-955-9094 for help.

Take care that the maximum volume is within the power capacities of the speakers and amplifier. Excessive volume can damage the speakers and amplifier.

Make sure that the frequency ranges of the speakers aren't exceeding during this process.

If you use a subwoofer, changing polarity may improve the sound quality. Often reversing the terminal connections result in better bass (depending on the location of the subwoofer).

• Excessive volume inside the car can drown out emergency vehicle sirens and other external audio warnings. This can put you and other motorists in danger. For auto safety, keep the volume at a reasonable level.

• Inattentiveness in traffic can lead to serious accidents. Make sure your car's audio system doesn't pull your attention away from the road.

• The amplifier must be ventilated sufficiently.

• Do not listen to excessively loud music for long periods of time. This can damage your hearing and lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Observe local laws and noise ordnances when using this equipment.

MAINTENANCE

Check the amplifier regularly for damage to the connection cables or to the housing.

If the amplifier is in such a condition that it can no longer be operated safely, it should be turned off. Make sure the amp is disconnected from the power system.

You should no longer use the amplifier if:

• there is visible damage on the amplifier
• the amplifier does not function for some reason, or
• the amplifier has been subjected to considerable stress during shipment.

Circuitry that carries electric current may be exposed if the amp's cover is opened or components are removed. The amplifier must be disconnected from all voltage sources before carrying out servicing or repair works.

Remember that capacitors in the amplifier may retain an electric charge even after disconnecting them from all power sources. Repair work should always be carried out by us.

If you have to replace fuses, make sure you only use fuses of the same type and rated current (see "Technical Data"). Do not attempt to repair fuses or bypass the fuse holder.

After disconnecting the amplifier from the power source, carefully remove the fuse from the fuse holder and replace only with a fuse of the same type.
