Installation Warnings and Tips: Disconnect the negative () lead from your vehicles battery. At the installation sites, locate and make a note of all fuel lines, hydraulic brake lines, vacuum lines and electrical wiring. Use extreme caution when cutting or drilling in and around these areas. Choose a safe mounting location away from moisture. Make sure there is sufficient air circulation at the mounting location for the amplifier to cool itself. Mount the amplifier, using the supplied hardware. Specifications 55W RMS x 4 channels, plus 200W RMS x 1, @ 4 ohms and 1% THD + N* 80W RMS x 4 channels, plus 320W RMS x 1, @ 2 ohms and 1% THD + N* THD+N: 0.05% (rated power @ 4 ohms) Signal-to-noise ratio: 85dBA (reference 1W into 4 ohms)* Signal-to-noise ratio: 102dBA (reference rated power into 4 ohms) Frequency response: 10Hz 100kHz and 13Hz 320Hz (3dB) * CEA-2006A-compliant 0 Speaker Output Connectors Connect the speakers to these terminals, observing proper polarity. Five-channel operation: Connect the front left speaker to the Front L+ and L terminals and the front right speaker to the Front R+ and R terminals. Repeat for the rear speakers, using the Rear L+ and L terminals, and the Rear R+ and R terminals. Connect the subwoofer to the Sub+ and Sub terminals. Four-channel operation: Connect the stereo speakers to the Front terminals, as above. Connect the single speaker into which the amplifiers rear channels will be bridged to the Rear L+ and R terminals. Connect the subwoofer to the Sub+ and Sub terminals. Three-channel (bridged) operation: Connect one speaker to the Front L+ and R terminals. Connect the other speaker to the Rear L+ and R terminals. Connect the subwoofer to the Sub+ and Sub terminals. Minimum speaker impedance for stereo operation is 2 ohms. Minimum speaker impedance for bridged operation is 4 ohms. Minimum subwoofer impedance is 2 ohms. 1 Fuse Replace only with the same type and rating. 2 Power Input Connectors +12V: Connect to the positive terminal of the vehicles battery. 4 AWG (2,6 mm) wire is recommended. Install an appropriate fuse holder and fuse (80A minimum) within 18 inches of the battery. Make sure the wire is not damaged or pinched during installation. Install protective grommets when routing wires through the firewall or other sheet metal. GND: Connect to the vehicles chassis. Refer to the illustration below.

REM: Connect to the Remote Out lead from the source unit or to a source of switched 12V+ (ACC). 3 Rear Input Connectors (RCA) Connect to rear RCA outputs from the source unit, or signal processor. 4 Subwoofer Remote Level Control Connector Connect the Remote Level Control (RLC) here using the supplied RJ-11 cable. 5 Subsonic EQ: Variable Subsonic High-Pass Filter With Variable Boost (Q) For woofers in tuned (vented) enclosures, set the frequency control to a value 10Hz below the enclosures resonance (tuned) frequency. For woofers in sealed boxes, set the control to any value you prefer between 30Hz and 50Hz. Set the Boost control according to your preference, being careful not to apply enough boost to damage your woofer(s). A Subsonic EQ Boost control provides up to 12dB of boost, slightly above the high-pass filters frequency. See above for appropriate settings. B Subsonic EQ High-Pass Filter Frequency control, variable between 10Hz and 80Hz. See above for appropriate settings. 6 Subwoofer Low-Pass Filter Frequency Control 12dB/octave low-pass filter, variable from 32Hz to 320Hz. See L for the adjustment procedure. 7 Input Selection Switch If you are using RCA-type inputs and the source unit has a subwoofer output and you have connected it to the SUB input, set this switch to the EXT position. Otherwise, set it in the INT position. 8 Subwoofer Gain (Input Level) Control Used to match the SUB input of the amplifier to the output of the source unit. See L for the adjustment procedure. 9 Input Management System (IMS) Input Connector (RJ45 Ethernet Cable) When used with the IMS, this connector provides a single connection for front, rear, subwoofer and remote turn-on. A Front Input Connectors (RCA) Connect to front RCA outputs from the source unit or signal processor. B Subwoofer Input Connector (RCA) Connect to subwoofer RCA-type outputs from the source unit or signal processor. C Protect LED Illuminated under any of the following fault conditions: battery over/under voltage, short circuit in speaker wires, amplifier is too hot, amplifiers output circuit has failed (DC voltage present in the amplifiers output).

D Rear Crossover-Filter Selector LP: Select for subwoofer(s) or to provide a low-pass filter for separate mid-bass speakers. The subsonic filter will provide a high-pass filter for separate mid-bass speakers. FLAT: Select for full-range speakers when no subwoofer will be used in the system. HP: Select for midrange speakers or full-range speakers when a subwoofer is used in the system. E Rear Crossover-Frequency Control 12dB/octave crossover, variable from 32Hz to 320Hz. F Rear Input Signal Selection Switch If your source unit has only front RCA-type outputs and they are connected to the amplifiers Front input connectors, move this switch to the FRONT setting. Otherwise, leave it in the 4CH position. G Rear Gain (Input-Level) Control Used to match the rear input level of the amplifier to the output level of the source unit. See L for the adjustment procedure. H Front Crossover Filter Selector LP: Select for subwoofer(s). FLAT: Select for full-range speakers when no subwoofer will be used in the system. HP: Select for midrange speakers or full-range speakers when a subwoofer is used in the system. I Front Crossover Frequency Control 12dB/octave crossover, variable from 32Hz to 320Hz. J Front Gain (Input Level) Control Used to match the input level of the amplifier to the output level of the source unit. See L for the adjustment procedure. K Power On LED Illuminated when the amplifier is on. L Setting Gain (Input Level) A Turn all Gain controls counterclockwise to 6V (minimim). B With a dynamic music track playing, turn the head units volume control to the 3/4 position. C Turn Front Gain control clockwise until the music is so loud that it no longer sounds clear (distortion is present in the output). D Turn Front Gain control counterclockwise gradually, just until the music sounds clear, once again. E Front Gain is now adjusted correctly. F Adjust Rear and Sub Gain controls so that the level of the rear speakers is proportionate to the level of the front speakers, according to your preference. M Setting the Crossover A Crossover setting for 5" or larger full-range speakers when no subwoofer is included in the system. B Crossover setting for full-range speakers when a subwoofer is included in the system. C Crossover setting for subwoofers. Note: Acceptable frequency ranges indicated in gray. N Remote Level Control The Remote Level Control, if installed, will allow you to adjust the level of bass while seated in the listening position.
