Operational Details
PHOENIX GOLD PRODUCT MANUAL
Tuning Your System
1. Set the crossover switches according to your system setup.
2. Set all amplifier input sensitivity controls to minimum (full counterclockwise).
3. Set the front and rear crossover controls to about the 11 O’Clock position or 90Hz.
4. This is a starting point for the crossovers, you may need to fine tune this setting later.
5. Turn the headunit on with the volume set to minimum.
6. Set the headunit's tone controls, balance and fader to the center (flat) position and
turn off any loudness features or other processing effects.
7. Play a CD that represents what type of music you usually listen to. Set the volume
control of the headunit up to about 90% of total volume.
8. Disconnect the rear speakers (if possible) so you can concentrate on the sound only
coming from the speakers powered by the front channels.
Increase (turn clockwise) the sensitivity control for the front channels of the amplifier
until you hear distortion then slightly decrease the sensitivity control until the
distortion is not audible. The volume level should still be very loud, but free from
nearly all distortion.
9. Repeat above step for setting the sensitivity for the rear channels. Be sure to
disconnect the front speakers so you can concentrate on the sound only coming from
the speakers powered by the rear channels.
10. With all channels playing, listen to the CD at this same high volume and make sure
the front and rear levels blend properly. For example, if the front speakers overpower
the subwoofer then slowly balance the system so all channels reach maximum output
without distortion at this volume level.
11. Remember the volume level on the headunit set on step 7. This is now the maximum
volume level for your system. If you exceed this level the onset of distortion will
become very noticeable.
MORE FINE TUNING TIPS
• You will probably want to fine tune the crossover points to get as much midbass out
of the front speakers as possible without distortion.
Hint: Achieve this by lowering the crossover point of your front speakers until you
hear distortion or the speakers bottoming out.
• For the bass heads looking for more output from the subwoofer, slowly increase the
bass boost to reach the desired bass level.
• For the audiophiles, lowering the crossover point for the low pass channels will yield
the effect that the bass is coming from the front of the vehicle, however this will
sacrifice some overall output.
• If you change the crossovers a lot, go back through the level setting steps with the
new crossover points. Just remember to go slow and use your ears as a guide to
achieve the sound you are looking for.
