Basic application

Interconnect cable checklist:

Crossover frequency control checklist:

Connect the inputs to a suitable source, e.g. a head unit with good quality RCA cables. 

LOW PASS: 40Hz to 150Hz

Connect the LINE OUT to the inputs of the system highs amplifier.

SUBSONIC:15 Hz to 55 Hz
BASS EQ: 0 to +12dB

Use  at  least  #12  gauge  speaker  wiring.  The  amps  have  dual  speaker  terminals, 
simplifying the hookup of multiple speakers. These amps are mono, 1 channel, amplifiers

Level control checklist:

which have multiple positive and negative connections for ease of wiring. The 2 positives 

Refer to the section 

“Setting up systems after installation for best performance”

are the same internally and the 2 negatives are the same internally.

Minimum final loudspeaker impedance: 1-Ohm.

FULL RANGE

STEREO LINE INPUT

NOT USED

Y-ADAPTOR

Note: You can use the Radio/CD designated mono line output or a full range stereo line output.
For full range stereo line output, you will need an optional “Y-Adaptor” as shown.
