[. . . ] If it fails to illuminate, check the power connections to the amplifier and fuses. - PROT (Protection) : 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 red, 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 shut down due to a thermal overload condition, please allow it to cool down before restarting. If the amplifier shut down because of an input overload or short circuit, be sure to repair these conditions before attempting to power up the amplifier again. 10 Controls and Functions Control and Functions Fig 1.

If you plan to expand your system by adding other components sometime in the future, ensure that adequate space is left, and cooling requirements are met. If your radio/source is equipped with Pre-Amp outputs, it is possible to utilize them to drive an Amplifier and connecting (amplifier) to the 2 rear speakers. Then, use the built-in power of your radio to drive the 2 front speakers. NOTE: DISTORTION LEVEL IS CONSIDERABLY LOWER FROM PRE-AMP (LOW LEVEL) OUTPUTS, THAN SPEAKER (HIGH LEVEL) OUTPUTS. b. The RMS power rating of your speakers must be equal or greater than the amplifier's. They also must be 2-8 Ohms impedance (this information is normally printed on the speaker magnet). Consider both the length of your leads, and routing when determining the mounting location. Pre-Amp input Jacks require a length of high quality shielded male to male RCA patch cord. Mounting Your System The mounting position of your amplifier will have a great effect on its ability to dissipate the heat generated during normal operation. It has an ample heat sink for heat dissipation, and also is designed with a thermal shut-down (for heat protection) circuit, having enough air directed over the cooling fins will improve heat dissipation dramatically. DO NOT enclose the amplifier in a small box or cover it so that air can not flow around the fins. Temperatures in car trunks have been measured as high as (155 F) in the summer time. Since the thermal shut-down point for the amplifier is (158 F) it is easy to see that it must be mounted for maximum cooling capability. To achieve the maximum advantage of convection air flow in an enclosed trunk, mount the amplifier in a horizontal position. Cooling requirements are considerably relaxed when mounting inside the passenger compartment since the driver will not allow temperatures to reach a critical point. [. . . ] If you are having problems with your system, we recommend you check the product carefully and thoroughly to confirm that the product truly has a manufacturer defect; as opposed to abuse, or other components in the system causing the failure. This might include having an Authorized Audiobahn Dealer look at the product to confirm the source of the problem. Any product found to have a manufacturer defect will be replaced with a new piece of the same or similar model, or repaired at the discretion of Audiobahn. Any product found to have no manufacturer defect will be returned to the sender at their cost. [. . . ]
