To correctly set the gain control of the amplifier to match that of the source (headunit) use
the
following setup routine:
• Turn the gain control to minimum on the amplifier.
• Ensure the bass boost on the headunt is set to 0 dB.
• Set all crossovers on the headunt ( if applicable) to flat and both bass and treble
to zero.
• Turn up the source (headunit) to approx 3/4 volume.
• Very slowly turn up the gain on the amplifier until distortion can be heard in any of the
speakers or until the volume reaches an uncomfortable listening level, when this is
reached turn the gain control down slightly.
The gain control is now set.
The setting of the crossover for a subwoofer, it is recommended that the crossover is set
to low pass and the frequency is set to match that of the subwoofers specifications, or
your
preferred frequency - this is usually around 60 - 120 Hz
Note: The smaller the speaker, the less bass it can handle.
By using the crossovers correctly you will not only lengthen the life of your speakers but
you will also get better performance from them.
To optimise your setup seek the advise of a professional installation engineer or visit your
local VIBE audio dealer.
