Congratulations on purchasing your Exile amplier. Please read this manual in order to fully understand how to get the best
results from this product and ensure that all advice on how to look after the product is followed.
Thank you for buying Exile, we hope you enjoy listening to your product as much as we enjoyed creating it.
An aftermarket audio amplier will place an additional load on the vehicles charging system. Most modern vehicles
have sucient capacity in the charging system as not all of the electrical components of the vehicle will be
switched on at once.
Check the fuse rating of the amplier and use this as the peak current requirement. Generally, the continuous current draw
will be a third of the peak current.
FEATURES
The Shift series amplier oer big power in a compact chassis. This makes for easy installation in tight spaces without
sacricing any of the output. Shift amps utilize Class D eciency and come packed with features to give you ultimate
control over your audio. Whether you’re cruzing the streets, getting muddy, or riding the waves Exile Audio has you
covered with Shift series power ampliers.

CONTROL FUNCTIONS S60.1 / S100.1 / S150.1
1: SPEAKER
Connect speaker/subwoofers to these terminals. Be sure to check wire for proper
polarity. Never connect the speaker cables to chassis ground.
2: +12V POWER
Connect this terminal through a FUSE or CIRCUIT BREAKER to the positive
terminal of the vehicle battery or the positive terminal of an isolated audio system
battery.
Warning: Always protect this power cable by installing a fuse or circuit breaker of
the appropriate size withing 18” (45cm) of the battery terminal connection.
3: REMOTE TURN ON (REM)
This terminal turns on the amplier when +12 volts is applied to it. Connect it to
the remote turn on lead of the head unit or signal source.
4: GND
Connect this cable directly to the frame of the vehicle. Make sure the metal frame
has been stripped of all paint down to the bare metal. Use the shortest distance
possible. It is always a good idea to replace the factory ground at this time with a
larger cable equal tot he new amplier power cable or larger.
CAUTION: Do not connect this terminal directly to the vehicle battery ground
terminal or any other factory ground points.

5: LIMIT / PROTECT / PWR
The LIMIT LED (S100.1 / S150.1) will light up when the output is clipped or
amplier gets over heated. When the limit indicator lights up, the amplier will
hold or reduce output power to protect subwoofer and amplier. Please turn down
volume or cool down the amplier when this indicator lights up continually.
The red PROTECT LED will light up and will be ashing if there is a fault presented
to the amplier. Please disconnect the amplier and resolve the fault before
reconnecting the amplier.
The green PWR LED will light up when the amplier is powered on and working
correctly.
6: REMOTE
Connect the remote controller to control the Subwoofer amplier volume from the
driver seat location, for ease of adjustment during playing.
7: INPUT
These RCA input jacks are for use with source units that have RCA outputs. A
source unit with a minimum level of 200mV is required for proper operation. The
use of high quality twisted pair cables is recommended to decrease the possibility
of radiated noise entering the system.
8: BASS BOOST / BASS BOOST FREQ
This adjusts the boost level of the bass boost center frequency. It can be adjusted
from 0 to 12dB, Combining with bass boost frequency (S150.1), you can accurately
match the amplier performance to woofer response.
9: GAIN
The level control will match the ampliers sensitivity to the source units signal
voltage. The Operating range is 200mV minimum to 5V maximum. This is NOT a
volume control!
10: LPF
This control is used to select the desired low pass x-over frequency. The frequency
can be adjusted from 40Hz to 220Hz.
11: SUBSONIC
This control can lter out unwanted low frequency from 1 0Hz (OFF) to 50Hz. This
function will increase the power handling of your woofers.

12: BRIDGE IN / BRIDGE OUT
The BRIDGE IN jack receives signal from the master amplier when this amplier is
bridged as slave. DO NOT use input jacks when the amplier is working as slave.
All the functions will be adjusted by the master amplier.
The BRIDGE OUT jack sends the bridge signal to another, same Shift-series
amplier in bridging conguration. All the functions will be adjusted by the master
amplier.
14
13: CLIP LIMIT
This switch control the output clip limit on/o . When switched on, the amplier will
control the output level at clip point and reduce the distortion. This will keep your
amplier at a low distortion at clipped signal.
14: Q CONTROL
This knob adjusts bass boost curve. Turn it to narrow side will make the boosted
frequency narrow and sharp, turn it to wide will extend the boosted frequency
range.

9: PROTECT / PWR
The red PROTECT LED will light up and will be ashing if there is a fault presented
to the amplier. Please disconnect the amplier and resolve the fault before
reconnecting the amplier.
The green PWR LED will light up when the amplier is powered on and working
correctly.
5: INPUT
These RCA input jacks are for use with source units that have RCA outputs. A
source unit with a minimum level of 200mV is required for proper operation. The
use of high quality twisted pair cables is recommended to decrease the possibility
of radiated noise entering the system.
10: INPUT LEVEL
The amplier has dual input sensitivity dierential inputs which will receive either
High level (Speaker output) or Low level (RCA) signals from your car stereo’s
source unit. When switch to PRE IN, The signal can be delivered to the amplier
using the low level RCA outputs on the source unit. When switch to SPK IN, The
High-Level signal can be run from the source unit’s speaker outputs to the stereo
RCA input on the end panel of the amplier using a speaker to RCA adapter (not
included).
7: GAIN
The level control will match the ampliers sensitivity to the source units signal
voltage. The Operating range is 200mV minimum to 5V maximum. This is NOT a
volume control!
11: AUTO TURN ON
For auto turn on/o mode there are three options: DC Oset/Rem/Audio.
REM: When auto turn on to REM, please connect the unit REM terminal to the
source unit remote terminal with an 18AWG cable. This is the preferred mode.
DC Oset: If the OEM source unit has no REM signal output, you can choose DC
Oset (Meanwhile, Input select switch to SPK IN mode), DC Oset can turn on/o
amplier by detecting the 6V DC Oset from the OEM source unit terminal.
AUDIO: Audio mode can turn ON/OFF the amplier by detecting the audio signal
from the source unit. Note: If the volume is too Low, The amp may fail to turn on.
Check if the source unit volume is properly set.

6: INPUT SELECT
This button selects either 2ch or 4ch input mode. When pressed in, the amplier
works in 2CH input, mode, CH-B input will be paralleled to CH-A, CH-B input jack
will be dummy. When pressed out, amplier will work in 4CH input mode.
8: LPF/FUL/HPF SELECTOR & FREQUENCY ADJUST KNOB
This switch and knob control Low Pass Filter, High Pass and Full pass function.
When set to LPF, The amplier will cut o high frequencies and should be used for
driving subwoofers. When set to HPF, The amplier will cut o low frequencies and
should be used for driving full range speakers or tweeter. When set to FULL, the
Full range of frequencies are reproduced and outputted to the speakers. In another
words the lters are “OFF”.
