INSTALLATION Master/Slave Mode (cont.) *MASTER For master amplifier, set the switch to master. This will route the signal through Line-out to the slave amplifier. Set the phase to 0, all adjustments for gain and sound are done on this amplifier. The remote subwoofer control should be connected to master amplifier as well. *SLAVE For slave amplifier, set the switch to slave and phase to 180. Connect the Line-out of master amplifier to input on this amplifier. All adjustments should be set to

INSTALLATION Configuration/Setup Input level Control The input level control (gain) is used to obtain the best possible match between the head unit audio output and the amplifier input. Begin by turning the input level control fully counterclockwise. Next, turn up the head unit volume control around 3/4 of the way up. Adjust the input level control clockwise until audible distortion is heard, then slightly counterclockwise to provide the best match. Repeat for all input level controls.
