[. . . ] Although lengthy, this chart cannot address every single problem possible but mainly the ones most common. PARAMETER/FEATURE Channels Size ( W x H x D) Weight Crimping style speaker terminals?Maximum terminal wire size Subsonic filter Separate front/rear or left/right gains?Speaker short, short to +12V, and short to ground protection? [. . . ] The wire sizes noted allow for a maximum 0. 5 volts DC drop over the give wire run which results in Sound Pressure Level drops inaudible to the average listener.

The speaker wire chart shows the minimum recommended wire size for a single audio output channel driving a loudspeaker at a given distance with a maximum power loss of 0. 5 dB, the threshold of audibility. 3. ) CROSSOVER FREQUENCY SETTING (ch 1 & 2) - the internal crossover frequency control setting of the amplifier can be switched to either the "flat" frequency response position or in a high-pass/low-pass mode. On this amplifier, the choice is for either 50-250 Hz in LOW-PASS mode or 50-500 Hz in a HIGH-PASS mode. 4. ) HIGH LEVEL INPUTS - Should RCA cables not be available from the radio you are able to tap onto the audio signal from the high level speaker outputs of the radio. This is most commonly used when the amp is an add-on device such as for a subwoofer system. 5. ) INPUT GAIN CONTROL (ch 1 & 2) - This controls the gain setting on the input of the amplifier. For high gain settings ( 0. 3 volts), this says that it takes ONLY 0. 3 volts to drive the amp to full output. For low gain settings (near 4 volts), this says that it takes nearly 4 volts to drive the amp to full output. If the amp is often going into distortion at only moderate volume settings on the radio, rotate this control towards the 4 volts setting to reduce the distortion. This turns the amplifier on whenever the receiver is turned on. +12V Important If wiring connections are made wrong, the unit will not operate properly and it could be damaged. Follow the installation instructions carefully, or have the installation handled by an experienced technician.

The inputs require only 2 signal leads (left and right) and derive the bass signal from these two. The final installation is most commonly configured with the two stereo channels driving satellite speakers in the flat or highpass mode for maximum sound pressure level. Such a system design supports an installation where the head unit (with internal power) drives the front speakers and this amp drives the rear satellite speakers along with the outboard subwoofer. The result of such a system is a very pleasant, and dynamic sound system without acoustical "strain" (distortion) at high sound levels. ­9 ­ SYSTEM CONFIGURATION #2 Full-Range Full-Range Subwoofer Full-Range Full-Range 2 Channel Dual Subwoofer Mode + CH1 ­ Speakers + CH2 ­ + CH3 ­ CROSSOVER + Bridged ­ LOW FLAT HI SUBWOOFER OFF ON The largest improvement in sound quality always comes when adding some kind of subwoofer via a dedicated subwoofer amplifier and electronics crossover. The electronic crossover ensures minimal overlap of the bass response with the mid and high frequencies from the other speakers resulting in a more accurate performance compared to conventional coaxials with additional power. By installing this amplifier in the stereo mode, you are able to drive two subwoofer speakers and in to low impedance loads (e. g. , 2 ohms) without over heating the amplifiers. Also, such an installation more easily supports a standard 2 speaker woofer box that may already be constructed. Since two woofers can play 6 decibels louder than one at a given power (due to acoustical laws of "mutual-coupling"), the resulting sound pressure level is substantial. This is probably the most common use for a conventional two channel amplifier there is. ­ 10 ­ TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE Below is a basic trouble-shooting guide to assist in seeking out and correcting a problem that may occur in the installation process.
