REMOTE LEVEL CONTROL (OPTIONAL) SPEAKER OUTPUTS The XD700/5’s speaker outputs are designed to accept 16 AWG - 8 AWG wire. To connect the speaker wires to the amplifier, first back out the set screws on the top of the terminal block, using the supplied 2.5 mm hex wrench. Strip 1/2 inch (12 mm) of insulation from the end of each wire and insert the bare wire into the terminal block, seating it firmly so that no bare wire is exposed. While holding the wire in place, tighten the set With th

“My amplifier shuts off once in a while, usually at higher volumes.” Check y our voltage source and grounding point. The power supply of the XD700/5 will operate with charging system voltages down to 10V. Shutdown problems at higher volume levels can occur when the charging system voltage (or remote turn- on voltage) momentarily drops below 10V. These dips can be of very short duration making them extremely difficult to detect with a common DC voltmeter. To ensure proper voltage, inspect
