AMPLIFIER FEATURE DESCRIPTIONS
POWERZONE AMPLIFIERS: APOWER LED indicates the powered up and turned on condition.
Each model is capable of 4 & 2-Ohms stereo per channel, or 4-Ohms mono bridged operation !
!All Crunch amplifiers feature a comprehensive diagnostic system, with speaker lead short circuit,
except the mono amps which are capable of 4, 2 and 1-Ohm loads. !

Note that the LOW PASS signal is MONO.
-In the LPF position, the HIGH PASS filter acts as a subsonic
filter.
-When the LPF mode is selected, a 0 to +12dB, at 45Hz, BASS

The mono amps are capable of 4, 2 & 1-Ohm loads.
Operating the amp below 1-Ohm can cause damage to the
amp not covered in the warranty.
