Low Level Input Wiring
Low-level (RCA) input wiring is preferred for best audio performance. Most
trunk or hatchback installations will require a 15-20 foot RCA cable, while
pickup trucks and under-seat installations will require a 6-12 foot RCA cable.
Always use a high-quality cable.
NOTE: Do not connectBOTH the high level and low levelinputs
from
your receiver to your amplifier at the same timel

The high level input(s) should only be used when your receiver lacks RCA
outputs. If the RCA outputs are not present, connect the speaker outputs from
the receiver to the high level input connector of the amplifier. Be sure to
observe polarity to avoid audio phase problems.
NOTE: Do not connectBOTH the high level and low levelinputs
from
your receiver to your amplifier at the same time!

® PHASE SHIFT
Use this switch to help compensate for time alignment problems
in the
system. Such problems usually result from having the subwoofer at a
different distance from the listener than the other speakers
in the system.
@ INPUT GAIN CONTROL
After you have installed your system, turn this control to minimum.
Tum the head unit
on (and the subwooferwill tum on via the remote
connection). Turn the head unit volume to about
2/3 full level.
Slowly turn up the subwoofer input gain control until you hear a small
amount
of distortion. Then reduce the level until the distortion is
completely
gone. Leave the control at this setting.
@BASSBOOST
The bass boost feature will increase the sound level the bass frequencies.
® LOW PASS FILTTER
This control permits you define the frequency range you want the subwoofer
amplifierto receive. The subwooferwill reproduce all sound BELOW the
frequency you set.
Ifthe rest
of your system is weak on the mids , you may wish to set this
control relatively high. Ifthe midrange is well covered by the rest
of your
system, you will probably want the subwooferto only receive lower
frequency signal.
® REMOTE LEVEL CONTROL PORT
Attach the included remote level control to control the volume level
of the
subwoofer independently.

CD LOW LEVEL RCA INPUTS
Low level inputs are the recommended way to introduce the audio signal
to the subwoofer
if RCA outputs are present on your head unit or other
signal source (such as a sound processor).
® HIGH LEVEL (speaker level) INPUTS
If
your head unit does not have RCA outputs, you can use the speaker
outputs for the audio source forthe PLBASS10. Use the supplied cable
and connect the outputs properly
as shown in the connection diagram
in this
manual.
@FUSE
The fuse is rated at 20A. Do not use a fuse with a different value and
NEVER replace the fuse with a wire or coin.
