FRONT RCA Inputs
RCA cables marked “FRONT” from head unit or from other line level device
should be connected here. Use both inputs (L & R) for stereo.
FRONT, REAR, and SUBWOOFER Remote Inputs
Use the supplied FEMALE quick connector to connect the REMOTE trigger lead
from the head unit to the amplifier. Amplifier turns “ON” when head unit is turned
“ON.” One FEMALE .210" connector is supplied with amplifier. The remote inputs
are all in parallel. Only one is to be used. Use any one of the three remote inputs
to turn the amplifier on. Do not connect external 12-volt accessories to these
inputs.
FRONT, REAR, and SUBWOOFER Input Sensitivity Controls
Turn control clockwise to increase the amplifier sensitivity to incoming signals. Turn
control counterclockwise to decrease the amplifier sensitivity.
FRONT and REAR Highpass Crossover Controls
To use 12dB/octave crossover, move switch to right-hand position. Highpass
crossover frequency is adjustable from 20Hz to 350Hz by rotary control. (Moving
switch to left-hand position will bypass crossover functions.)

FRONT and REAR “Q” Controls
“Q” Control is active when the highpass crossover is engaged and is centered
on the selected crossover point. The range of operation is 0.7–1.2.
REAR RCA Inputs
RCA cables marked “REAR” from head unit or other line level device should be
connected here. Use both inputs (L & R) for stereo.
REAR Input Switch
In the left (STEREO L-R) position, the L & R inputs go to the REAR L & R channels
of the amplifier. In the right (FRONT L-R) position, the inputs are derived from the
FRONT channels and sent to the REAR L & R channels of the amplifier.
SUBWOOFER RCA Inputs
RCA cables marked “subwoofer” from head unit or other line level device
should be connected here. Use both inputs (L & R) for dual subwoofer output
from head unit. Use left (L) input only when single subwoofer output is to be
connected.
Lowpass Slope and Crossover Controls
Select appropriate crossover slope of 12 or 24dB/octave by moving
LOWPASS SLOPE switch. Lowpass crossover frequencies are
adjustable from 50Hz to 350Hz by rotary control.
SUBWOOFER Mode Switch
Move switch to left position (MONO L-R) when used with L & R subwoofer RCA
outputs. Move switch to middle position (L-MONO) when used with single sub-
woofer RCA outputs. Move switch to right position (NON-FADING MONO) when
subwoofer signal is to be derived from front and rear channels.

Mechanical Functions
Recessed RCA Inputs
The input jacks are recessed into the body of the amplifier to provide clear-
ance in tight mounting locations.
Control Cover Removal and Reinstallation
The cover panel is secured with two (2) captive coin-slotted screws. Coin-slot-
ted screws allow a coin edge to be used as a screwdriver to remove the panel.
Multi-position Mounting Feet
The mounting feet are designed to slide in both directions to clear installation
obstructions on the mounting surface.
WARNING! Before driving the mounting screws through any surface, be sure
of what is behind that surface. Check for the gas tank, brake lines, and any vehi-
cle wiring harness.

Status LED Indicators
GREEN indicates the normal operating condition; the amplifier is “ON.” GREEN
and RED together are normal when the amplifier is first turned “ON”; RED will
turn off after a few seconds. When both GREEN and RED remain on, the ampli-
fier is in thermal shutdown condition. RED only indicates a fault condition,
“SAFE.”

Mechanical Functions (cont.)
Vents (Side and Rear)
The cooling vents must be kept clear of obstructions once the amplifier is installed. Failure to do this could
lead to premature thermal shutdown or amplifier failure.
Amplifier Linking
The design of the side panels enables multiple amplifiers to be used together without additional hardware.
Wire Connection
Amplifier accepts stripped wire directly into the terminal blocks. Speaker outputs accept 8-gauge, and the
DC power and ground accept 4-gauge. Tighten with supplied hex wrenches.
Fuses
Amplifier accepts standard AT-style automotive blade fuses.

Before You Install
Before you install the unit, disconnect the negative (–) battery cable in the engine compartment of the vehi-
cle. Doing so will prevent damage to both the electrical system of the vehicle and the amplifier during
installation.
Wire Routing
Do not run the power wire near any low-level signals or audio cables such as the RCAs from the head
unit. (Noise can be introduced into the amplifier when this occurs.) It is helpful to diagram the wire layout
first before any installation is attempted.
Battery and Charging System
In order for the amplifier to function correctly, the electrical system of the vehicle should be professional-
ly checked for overall electrical capacity. When used, the amplifier will increase the demand on the battery
and alternator. Therefore both should be thoroughly evaluated before installing the amplifier to ensure they
are in normal operating condition and able to handle the increased demand the amplifier will present to
the vehicle’s electrical system.
General Installation Precautions
WARNING! Before driving the amplifier mounting screws through any surface, be sure of what is behind
that surface. Check for the gas tank, brake lines, and any vehicle wiring harness. Never run wires outside
or under the vehicle or where they could become broken or interfere with the safe operation of the
vehicle.

Passenger and Trunk Compartment Mounting
If the amplifier is mounted under a seat, be sure that the vents do not become
blocked. Do not allow seat padding or other obstructive material to press
down on the amplifier.
All Boston GT amplifiers have top panel controls. If the amplifier is mounted
under a seat, position the amplifier so the cover panel can be removed with
the seat forward or back to allow adjustment of the audio settings.
When mounting in a trunk, choose a location that will be protected from slid-
ing cargo or other materials. Mount the amplifier to solid surfaces only. Do not
mount to plastic trim panels. Do not mount the amplifier with Velcro, double-
stick tape, or by wedging into position. Amplifier should be mounted using
the movable mounting feet and the provided mounting screws.
Installation—Fuses and Wiring
Installation—Amplifier Mounting (cont.)
Amplifier Fuses
Although the amplifier has internal fuses, additional fusing should be pro-
vided at the battery on the positive (+) power wire going to the amplifier.
An inline fuse should be installed at no more than 18" (46cm) on the pos-
itive (+) power wire. The rating of the inline fuse should equal the value of
the internal fuses of the amplifier if only the amplifier is connected to this
wire. If other devices are connected to this wire, the fuse value should be
of sufficient capacity to handle the demand.
Wire Gauge
The amplifier accepts up to 4-gauge stripped wire at the DC power and ground input terminals, and 4-gauge
is recommended. Wire runs should be kept to the minimum practical length.

Power/B+ and Power/GND Connection
Strip approximately 5/8" (16mm) of insulation. The positive (+) power wire
is installed into the amplifier terminal marked “B+.” The negative (–) wire
is installed into the terminal marked “GND.” The ground wire should be
as short as possible and connected directly to the chassis of the vehicle.
Make sure that the chassis connection point is free of rust, grease, dirt,
paint, and other materials that may insulate the ground wire from making
proper connection. Tighten the B+ and GND terminals with the supplied
3mm hex wrench to secure the wire into the terminals. If the power wire
must be routed through a drilled or existing hole, use a nylon panel grom-
met to prevent fraying the wire insulation. Failure to do so could lead to
an electrical short if the wire insulation is worn through and the power wire
is shorted to ground.
Installation—Fuses and Wiring (cont.)
Remote Input Connection
Use the supplied FEMALE slide connector to connect the REMOTE trig-
ger lead from the head unit to the amplifier. Crimp connector to wire from
head unit that controls remote turn-on (refer to head unit owner’s manu-
al). Once the slide connector is crimped into place, carefully push connector
onto recessed male REMOTE terminal adjacent to the RCA Input pair. Only
one (1) remote turn-on terminal should be connected.
Speaker Output Connection
Prepare each wire by stripping approximately 5/8" (16mm) of insulation. The positive (+) speaker wire is
installed into the amplifier terminal marked “SPEAKER OUTPUT” / “+.” The negative (–) speaker wire is
installed into the amplifier terminal marked “SPEAKER OUTPUT” / “-.” Tighten the “Speaker Output”, “+”,
and “-” terminals with the supplied 2mm hex wrench to secure the wire into the terminals. If the speaker
wires must be routed through a drilled or existing hole, use a nylon panel grommet to prevent fraying the
wire insulation. Failure to do so could lead to an electrical short if the wire insulation is worn through and
the speaker wires are shorted to ground.

Mono Subwoofer Operation
Connect either a 2-ohm or 4-ohm subwoofer to a single (+) and (-) terminal (see System A, page 16).
When using two (2) subwoofers, each subwoofer should be a minimum 4-ohm [or higher] impedance,
(see System B, page 17).
WARNING! Subwoofer impedance must not fall below 2 ohms when in MONO mode.
Installation—Fuses and Wiring (cont.)
1) Music
The material chosen for head unit/amplifier system setup must be both clear in recording quality and dynam-
ic in amplitude. Many audiophile “test” discs have musical tracks with both of these characteristics and should
be used.
2) FRONT, REAR, and SUBWOOFER Sensitivity Controls
Turn controls all the way counterclockwise (minimum position). In this position,
the amplifier will be less sensitive to the input signal from the head unit.

4) Head Unit
The head unit should have all controls such as bass, treble, balance, and fader set to the flat or centered
position. The volume control should be at the minimum setting. If the head unit has any equalization or bass
management features such as boost, they should be defeated at this time. Turn head unit on and verify that
the GREEN status LED is lit on the amplifier.
6) FRONT and REAR Input Sensitivity Controls
Slowly rotate control clockwise until maximum undistorted playing level is
heard from the speakers. Listen closely for bottoming from the speakers. If
detected, rotate FRONT Input Sensitivity counterclockwise until it is eliminated.
7) FRONT and REAR Crossover Controls
To achieve higher undistorted playing levels from the front speakers, the
FRONT crossover must be engaged. Rotate crossover control fully clockwise.
The highpass crossover point is now set at 350Hz. Rotate FRONT “Q” Control
fully counterclockwise. Move crossover switch to the right (ON) position.
Slowly rotate FRONT input sensitivity control clockwise until maximum undis-
torted playing level is heard from the speakers. Listen closely for bottoming
from the speakers. If detected, rotate FRONT input sensitivity control coun-
terclockwise until it is eliminated. Slowly rotate FRONT highpass crossover
control counterclockwise while listening for bottoming. You are lowering the
crossover point, which means that more bass signal is being sent to the speak-
ers. If bottoming is detected, Rotate FRONT input sensitivity control coun-
terclockwise until it is eliminated and/or rotate the FRONT highpass crossover
control clockwise to raise the crossover point.
5) Volume
With the chosen musical track playing, turn the head unit volume control up until the maximum level of
undistorted signal is heard from the speakers. (For most head units, this will be near the end of the volume
control range.)
WARNING! A distorted signal from the head unit sent to the amplifier can cause loudspeaker failure at high-
er listening levels!

8) FRONT and REAR “Q” Controls
Once the FRONT highpass crossover point has been determined, use the
FRONT “Q” control to increase the bass information centered around the
crossover point.
Setting the front “Q” control is done in conjunction with setting the levels on
the input sensitivity and highpass crossover frequency controls. You may find
while setting the “Q” that bottoming may be detected in the front speakers;
lowering the “Q” input sensitivity or raising the highpass crossover point will
eliminate this. Minor adjustments to each setting are required to fine-tune the
system.
Setting the “Q” is a subtle process. It is recommended that the “Q” setting be left in the 0.7 position and
adjusted only after the input sensitivity and highpass crossover ranges are known. Small adjustments to the
“Q” setting are all that are required to fine-tune the system.
Setup Tuning—Full-Range Speakers (cont.)
9) REAR Input Sensitivity and Crossover Controls
Setting levels for the rear channels proceeds the same as for the
front except for the elimination of the “Q” control settings.
Crossover selector switch must be set to “HP” and filter switch
must be set to “ON.” If the loudspeaker being used is capable
of full-range operation, filter should be set to “OFF.”
Setup Tuning—Subwoofers
1) SUBWOOFER LEVEL Control
Refer to subwoofer level control in owner’s manual. If the control is not used, SUBWOOFER LEVEL switch
must be set to “OFF.”
2) SUBWOOFER Mode Switch
Move switch to left position (STEREO L-R) when used with L&R subwoofer RCA outputs. Move switch to mid-
dle position (MONO L) when used with single subwoofer RCA outputs. Move switch to right position when
subwoofer signal is to be derived from front and rear channels.

5) SUBWOOFER Sensitivity Control
Turn controls all the way counterclockwise (minimum position). In this position, the amplifier will be less sen-
sitive to the input signal from the head unit. Slowly rotate this control clockwise until maximum undistorted
playing level is heard from the subwoofers. Listen closely for faults such as bottoming from the subwoofer.
If fault is detected, rotate REAR input sensitivity control counterclockwise until fault is eliminated. At this
point, the maximum undistorted subwoofer playing level has been defined.
6) SUBWOOFER Crossover Control
Move the selector switch to “LP” and the FILTER switch to “ON.” In this setting, lowpass signal is sent to
the REAR speaker outputs. Select 12 or 24dB/octave.
7) PHASE
Subwoofer phase is relative to the front loudspeakers. Correct electrical phase does not always mean
correct acoustic phase. Swap positive (+) and negative (-) connections at the speaker outputs where the
subwoofer is connected to the amplifier. It is beneficial to listen to the subwoofer connected in both phase
conditions. The subwoofer should be left in the condition in which the strongest bass response is noted.
Setup Tuning—Subwoofers (cont.)
3) Head Unit
The head unit should have all controls such as bass, treble, balance, and fader
set to the flat or centered position. The volume control should be at the
minimum setting. If the head unit has any equalization or bass management
features such as boost, they should be deactivated at this time. Turn head unit
on, and verify that the GREEN status LED is lit on the amplifier.
4) Volume
With the chosen musical track playing, turn the head unit volume control up until the maximum level of
undistorted signal is heard from the speakers. For most head units, this will be at the end of the volume
control range.
WARNING! A distorted signal from the head unit sent to the amplifier can cause loudspeaker failure at
higher listening levels!
