INTRODUCTION
CAUTION
CAR AUDIO AMPLIFIER RED600.1/RED1200.1/REA600.4
Thank you for purchasing a Recoil amplifier for your car audio system. You have
chosen Recoil because you deserve the best!
Please thoroughly read through this manual before getting started. If you have
any questions and require additional assistance, please contact support@re-
coilaudio.com.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
• This unit is designed for negative ground 12V DC operation only.
• Total system impedance must not be less than 2 ohms, in a bridged OR stereo
configuration (monoblocks are 1 ohm stable)
• Do not cover the amplifier with carpet or wires.
• For safety reasons, keep the volume of your car audio system moderate while
driving your vehicle so that you can still hear normal traffic sounds and emergen-
cy vehicles outside your car.
MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS
Choose a location that provides adequate ventilation around the amplifier. For
easy system set-up, mount the amplifier so the side panel controls will be accessi-
ble after
installation. In addition, observe the following precautions:
1. Using a felt pen mark, mark the mounting hole locations.
2. Mounting the amplifier on carpet will significantly reduce air flow, resulting in
reduced thermal run times.
3. Mount the amplifier on a solid surface. Avoid mounting to sub woofer enclo-
sures or areas prone to vibration.
4. Prior to mounting the amplifier, make sure not to cut or drill into the fuel tank,
fuel lines, brake lines (under chassis) or electrical wiring.
WIRING PRECAUTIONS
1. Before installation, make sure the source unit power switch is in the OFF position.
2. Disconnect the negative (-) lead of the battery before making any power
connections.
3. When making connections, be sure that each one is clean and secure.
4. A secure clean ground connection is critical to the performance of your ampli-
fier. Connect the ground directly to the car chassis to minimize resistance and
avoid any noise problems.
5. Add an external fuse on the amplifier's positive (+) power lead and connect it
as close as possible to the vehicle's (+) battery terminal. 18 inches is the usual
dimension.

BATT ( 12V POWER )
Before mounting amplifiers, disconnect the negative cable from the battery to
protect any accidential damage to your amplifiers and audio system.
Connect the power cables to power terminal 12V.
Connect one end of fuse holder to the power cable going into the amplifiers and
the other end of fuse holder to positive battery. This fuse location will protect the
system and the vehicle against the possibility of a short circuit in the power cable.
Be sure to use fuses and fuse holder adequate for the application.
GND ( GROUND)
Locate a secure grounding connection as close to amplifier as possible.
Make sure the location is clean and provides a direct electrical connection to the
frame of the vehicle. The ground needs to have as low of a resistance as possible.
Connect one end of a short piece of the same size cable as the power cable to
the grounding point or to one of your batteries or battery bank. Run the other end
of 4 ga cable to the mounting location of the amplifiers for connection to the
amplifiers ground terminals and connect the ground cable to the GND (ground
terminal).
REM ( REMOTE )
Run a remote turn on cable from the switched 12V source . This may be a toggle
switch, a relay, your source unit's remote trigger cables, or power antenna trigger
cable. Connect the remote turn on cable to the REM ( remote ) terminal.
SPEAKER TERMINAL BLOCK
Connect speaker cables from speaker terminal block to subwoofers. Subwoofers
impedance should be check carefully.

FRONT PLATE
RCA INPUTS
The RCA jacks allow for a normal Left and Right channel signal input. Simply
connect to the source unit using RCA type audio cables, keeping them away
from power wiring wherever possible to reduce risk of noise.
RCA OUTPUTS
The RCA outputs connect another amplifier for multi amplifiers system.
GAIN
The input gain control is preset to match the output of most source units. It can be
adjusted to match output levels from a variety of source units.
SUBSONIC
This control allows you to remove the unwanted sub-sonic frequencies below the
tuning frequency of a ported enclosure. This helps to protect the woofer from over
excursion. Adjustable from 10 - 50Hz.
BASS BOOST
This control adds 0 to +9dB of boost at 45Hz. Be cautious when adding boost to
some subwoofer systems as they may not be able to handle the additional low
frequency boost. In the 0dB position, no bass boost is added.
LPF
Use this adjustment to select the crossover point. Remember that you must select
the Low Pass position (LPF) of the crossover adjustment switch first. The range of
adjustment is limited between 35 - 250 Hz.
REMOTE
This port is for the remote level control. The control is intended to allow the user to
control the level of the amplifier from your driver's seat.
POWER & PROTECT INDICATORS
These lights indicate when the amplifier is powered up normally and when there is
a protection fault. The Protect LED is laminated when there is a problem with your
amplifier.

RCA INPUTS
The RCA jacks allow for a normal Left and Right channel signal input. Simply connect to the source unit
using RCA type audio cables, keeping them away from power wiring wherever possible to reduce risk
of noise.
RCA OUTPUTS
The RCA jacks allow for a“Pass Thru”from REA600.4 amplifier to a mono block amplifer
(RED600.1D/RED1200.1D) signal input. This simplifies signal connection in a Front/Rear/Sub system with
an aftermarket headunit that only has a 2 or 4 Ch output.
Signal Input Switch
This switch allows the amplifier to be driven with either 2 or 4 pairs of inputs.
GAIN
The input gain control is preset to match the output of most source units. It can be adjusted to match
output levels from a variety of source units
HPF
Use this adjustment to select the crossover point. Remember that you must select the High Pass position
(HPF) of the crossover adjustment switch first. The range of adjustment is limited between 15 - 350 Hz.
X-OVER
This switch allows you to select the crossover. Use HPF(high pass filter) for midrange or high frequency
speakers. Use LPF(low pass filter) for subwoofers. In the FULL position, neither crossover adjustment knob
has an affect and all speakers will receive the full frequency range.
LPF
Use this adjustment to select the crossover point. Remember that you must select the Low Pass position
(LPF) of the crossover adjustment switch first. The range of adjustment is limited between 35 - 350 Hz.
BASS BOOST
This control adds 0 to +12dB of boost at 45Hz. Be cautious when adding boost to some subwoofer
systems as they may not be able to handle the additional low frequency boost. In the 0dB position, no
bass boost is added.
POWER & PROTECT INDICATORS
These lights indicate when the amplifier is powered up normally and when there is a protection fault.
The Protect LED is laminated when there is a problem with your amplifier.

SPECIFICATONS
TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Echo series amplifiers have protection features to prevent any damages from
misuse or faulty conditions.
If Echo series amplifiers sense excessive heat, short circuited speakers DC, or
voltage, the protection indicator will light, and the system will be turned off.
In order to check the problem, you should turn all levels down and all power off
and carefully check the installation for wiring mistakes or short.
If Echo series amplifiers shuts down due to excessive heat, They will be working
later when it is cooled down before removing your amplifier, refer to the list
below and follow the suggested procedures.
NO SOUND ( NO OUTPUT)
Please check all connections, cables' rounting, short & voltage.
Please check the fuses , If they are blown, please replace with new one.
Please check whether speakers work well, you can test speakers by connecting
to another amplifier.

DISTORTION & NOISE
Readjust input level and check the speaker quality at another amplifier. Replace
poor quality speakers with good quality ones.
Check amplifiers and headunit's ground contact. all grounds should be common.
Check RCA Jack, then repalce with new one or reroute RCA cable.
Engine noise is caused by poor grounding of amplifiers, headunit, other compo-
nents, battery or alternator, so please check all grounding connection.
POOR BASS RESPONSE
Please check speaker cables and reverse polarity.
