4. Input Sensitivity –The Input Sensitivity switch is used to set the proper input voltage range: X1 POSITION: 100mV – 1V (Typically for RCA Input) X10 POSITION: 1V – 10V (Typically for Speaker Level Input) 5. Stereo Gain Control – This feature is used to fine-tune the input sensitivity of the amplifier to the source unit’s output level. 6. Switchable Hi, 12dB/Low, 24dB X-over – This switch is used to pick the preferred frequency range the amplifier will play. A high-pass or full range output

Connections 1. Bi-Level Inputs (Low/High Level Input) with Smart Engage – Both a low and high-level signal can be used. Be sure to lay the signal wire away from all power cables and vehicle computers. Use high quality twisted pair interconnect cables to decrease the possibility of radiated noise entering the system. • Using RCA Connections: If the source unit has RCA outputs, simply attach a signal cable from source unit to amps RCA input. This will provide signal to the amp. • Using Spe

2. GND: This is the ground connection for the amplifier and must be connected directly to the metal chassis of the vehicle for the amplifier to operate properly. A properly grounded amplifier can be run harder and longer then a poorly grounded amplifier. The ground on the amplifier should be as short as possible and be connected directly to the vehicle’s metal chassis. Do not connect to factory bolts of ANY kind. When attaching the ground to the chassis, sand all the paint away from the contact p

• Setting For Components and Separates: First enable the electronic crossover by selecting the “ON” position of the X-OVER switch, then select the “H-PASS” (High pass) position on the L-PASS/H-PASS switch. By selecting this you are giving the speakers 85Hz – 20kHz. The 12dB/Oct roll off means that the frequencies under (lower then) the set 85Hz, will taper off at moderate slope. • Setting For Full Range (No Crossover): To disable the electronic crossover, select the “OFF” position of the
