•
Make sure that the mounting board is thicker
than 25mm.
1Place the unit on the location for
installation.
2Mark the positions of the four screw
holes.
3Drill the holes with driller of
approximately 4mm in diameter.
4Mount the unit with the supplied screws.

LINE OUT
Option 2: Line output connection
Connect the amplifier to another amplifier.
Connect power
1Make the power connection as illustrated
below:
Connect the ground wire from the•
car to the GND socket.
Connect the remote wire from the•
car audio to the REM socket.
With this connection, you can turn•
on/off the amplifier with the car
audio.
Connect the power wire from the•
car battery to the +12V socket.
Connect speakers
Note
Use speakers with an impedance of 2 to 8 ohm•
(4 to 8 ohm when used as a bridged amplifier).
Match the “left”, “right”, “+” and “-” terminals
•
correctly. Revised polarity may degrade sound
quality.

Adjust input level
To ensure sound quality, adjust input level to
match it with the car audio’s output voltage.
1Check the line output voltage of the
connected car audio.
2Rotate INPUT LEVEL to select a matched
voltage: 0.3V to 6V.
Adjust bass boost
To enjoy more bass sound:
1Set FILTER MODE at OFF or LPF mode.
2Slide BASS BOOST to 12dB position.
Tip
If• BASS BOOST is set at 0dB position, no extra
bass will be boosted.
Note
If• FILTER MODE is set at HPF mode, the bass
frequency will be filtered.
About the protector
indicator
The amplifier has a built-in protection circuit to
protect the transistors and speakers in following
conditions:
The amplifier is overheated.•
A DC current is generated in•
speakers.
The battery voltage is too low or too•
high. Or
The speaker terminals are short•
circuited.
When the PROTECTED indicator
lights up in red, the amplifier shuts
down automatically. In this case
please:
4 Use your power
amplifier
Select filter mode
Select Filter Mode according to the connected
speaker type.
1Slide FILTER MODE to the selected
position.
• HPF (high-pass-filter): Select this
mode when mid-range speakers and
tweeters are connected for high
frequency output.
• LPF (low-pass-filter): Select this
mode when woofer and subwoofer
are connected for low frequency
output.
• OFF (flat): Select this mode when
both tweeters and woofers are
connected.
Select LPF frequency
When FILTER MODE is set at LPF position, you
can select the range of frequency that is to be
filtered.
Note
When• FILTER MODE is set at OFF or HPF
position, LPF FREQUENCY does not work.
1Slide LPF FREQUENCY to the selected
position.
• 80Hz: More high frequency signal
is filtered. Select 80Hz if you prefer
stronger bass effect.
• 180Hz: Less high frequency signal is
filtered.
