indicated here in this manual. Use of improper fuse or circuit breaker could result in overheat,
smoke, damage to product, injury or burns.
- When in use, the external surface of may amplifier becomes hot. Avoid touching the heatsink
area and keep childrens far from the amplifier.
- This product may produce high sound pressure levels. Avoid continuous exposure to levels
over 85dB to prevent permanent hearing loss.
- Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect
any wires routed through car's body.
- Before make any connection to amplifier, disconnect the battery negative terminal.
- Output connections for speakers may have voltage levels when the amplifier is operating.
Make sure that the system is turned OFF before proceed any connection or disconnection in this
terminals.
To ensure proper use, please read through this manual before using the amplifier. It is specially
important that you know the WARNINGS and CAUTIONS contained here.
- The installation of this product must be done by a qualified professional.
- Wear safety glasses, insulated gloves and correct tools for installing this product.
- This product is for use with 12V batteries. Always check the voltage before installing.
- This product must be installed in a firm place with at least 1” space around the heasink for
proper heat spreading.
As you read this manual, pay attention to the safety symbols.
Safety
This symbol with “CAUTION” is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important instructions. Failure to heed the instructions will result in risk of
injury to user or product damage.
CAUTION
Read this manual before installing the product. In case of
questions contact our technical support: [phone] or
www.taramps.com.br.

disposed of in household waste. Look for an
electronic equipment collection or recycling center
for proper disposal.
02
The wire gauge for power supply connections is 1,5mm² (15 AWG) for positive and negative
wires, and 0,50mm² (20 AWG) for remote signal wire.
For protection against overload, install a fuse on positive wire, close to battery terminal (1A). See
page 12.
1 - Power supply negative: Connect to negative pole of battery.
2 - Remote signal input: Connect to remote signal output from head unit.
3 - Remote ouput: For connection in amplifiers
4 - Powe supply positive: Connect to positive pole (12V) of battery.
Key recommendations

Input clip indicator LED: It shows that the signal is reaching the maximum limit of the processor
input, which causes signal distoron. If it comes on, reduce the volume of the signal source and
readjust the system gains accordingly.
Limiter / clip LEDs: They have a dual funcon: They indicate that the signal from that output has
reached the maximum level (when the limiter is off) or the actuaon of the limiter (when the
signal reaches the threshold defined in the limiter).
Power connector: See page 12.
RCA signals input: Input for low level / high impedance (RCA) signals.
WIRE High Level Input: Input for high level / low impedance signals (from the speaker output of
the players or mulmedia center).
It features funcon of triggering through the input signal, so it eliminates the use of the
REMOTE IN wire from the power connector when using this input.
Note: The system is designed for use in virtually all mulmedia head units on the market.
However, on some head units , you may not get the trigger effect due to the type of audio output
circuit. In this case, use the REMOTE wire for triggering it normally.

Tip: To fine-tune a parameter or increment/decrement the number aer the decimal point,
rotate the encoder slowly. E.g., in the signal level (dB) adjustments, the increment will be 0.1dB
when turning the encoder slowly, and 1dB when turning it more connuously and quickly.

Rotate the rotary encoder to set the delay amount to be applied.
The voice coils of each transducers isn't aligned inside the acoustic box, so there is some delay
that can degrade the perfect audio playing. The Delay feature apply different delay amount for
each output way, in order to get the perfect audio alignment.

Measure the other channels and find the measure . Set
the closest measurement (in cm) for each channel.
Set the reference coil (*) farthest from the box panel (in

parameters automacally, according to the frequency cutoff (HPF).
Limiter parameters:
T = Threshold, – Point from which the limiter starts to act (indicated by the lighng of the
RED LED on each channel). To turn off the limiter, turn the encoder clockwise unl [OFF] that
appears at the threshold value.
A = Aack, – Time the limiter waits before reducing gain aer the signal exceeds the
threshold.
R = Release, – Time it takes the limiter to return to its original gain aer the signal drops
below the threshold.
