 CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE ANY AMPLIFIER BELOW THE INTENDED 

 Tri-Mode operation with any stereo pair of amplifier channels  is possible, as with  all

MODE

: The mode switch allows you to choose Stereo for full range 2 channel operation or 

MONO for bridging operation

HIGH INPUT

: If your radio/CD player does not have unbalanced (RCA) outputs, you can 

use the HIGH level (wire) inputs.

LINE INPUT

: The line input accepts unbalanced (RCA) inputs from 0.2V to 5V.

LINE OUTPUT

: The line output passes through signal from the line inputs which allows 

you to daisy chain multiple amplifiers from one signal.

LEVEL:

  Adjusts the input sensitivity from 0.2 volts to 6 volts.

BASS EQ: 

The Bass EQ is adjustable from 0db to 12dB.

REMOTE:

 This is the input jack for the under-dash bass remote module.

LINE INPUT

: The line input accepts unbalanced (RCA) inputs from 0.2V to 6V.

LINE OUTPUT

: The line output passes through signal from the line inputs which allows you 

to daisy chain multiple amplifiers from one signal.

The mono amps are capable of 4, 2 & 1-Ohm  loads.

Operating the amp below 1-Ohm can cause damage to the amp not 

covered in the warranty.
