HS300.4 / HS500.4 / HS800.4 4-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER APPLICATIONS

Front/Rear high pass, using a mono amplifier for mono sub bass

The  combination  of  a  1  and  a  4  channel  amplifier,  utilizing  their  built  in 

Channels 3/4:

crossovers, makes it a snap to put together a full system with front and rear 
highs, with mono sub bass.

- HI PASS: 

100 Hz

- LOW PASS: 

N/A

Interconnect cable checklist:

- Using good quality RCA cables, feed the front and rear outputs of a head unit to 

2 channel bass amplifier:

the inputs of the 4 channel amplifier as shown. 

- Subsonic filter: 10 Hz to 40 Hz

- Also connect the 

LINE OUT

 of the 4 channel amplifier to the 

LINE INPUT

 of the
