Congratulaons and thank you for purchasing Triton mobile amplifer. With a focus on quality, innovaon, and value, Triton
ampliers feature a no-compromise design built for today’s music. , Triton Audio makes no compromises in delivering
incredibly accurate sound from a compact chassis.
To make sure your new amplier performs its best, we strongly recommend you have your new Triton amplier professionally
installed.
Please use your new Triton amplier responsibly. Listening to very loud music for extended periods of me can cause permanent
hearing loss.
Triton EL Series Amplier Features:
• High Eciency Class D Circuitry – Triton Audio has developed special circuitry that combines high thermal
eciency with Class D technology. The result is an overall eciency of greater than 75%, something you
rarely see in other designs. The result means less drain on the electrical system of the vehicle and more
power directed to the speakers.
• HFE Circuitry – Triton Audio’s engineering teams have develop High Frequency Enhancer circuitry that im
proves sonic performance at frequencies between 5kHz and 25kHz. Class D ampliers in the past struggled
with high frequency performance when compared to low eciency designs such as Class AB ampliers. With
Triton Audio EL Series ampliers this is now a thing of the past.
• Compact Design at Aordable Prices – High eciency and small footprint ampliers mean versality in
applicaon. Triton audio EL ampliers t in ght spaces

III. Installaon Preparaon
Please read the entire manual before installation. Due to the technical nature of amplifiers it is highly
recommended that your amplifier is installed by a professional installer or an authorized dealer.
Before You Start
1. Disconnect negative battery terminal. (Consult a qualified technician for instructions)
2. Avoid installing the amplier where it would be subject to high temperatures such as from direct sunlight or where it
would be subject to dust or excessive vibraon.
3. Use extreme cauon when drilling holes to avoid damaging fual lines or exisng vehicle wiring.
4. All amplier installaons require power signal and speaker wires (not included).
5. An amplier installaon kit (sold separately) is highly recommended to facilitate the installaon. Consult your dealer
for recommendaons.
Mounng Locaon
1. Choose a mounting location for the amplifier. Suggested locations include under a seat or in the trunk.
2. The amplifier can be mounted horizontal (recommended) or vertical. For optimum performance make sure to
provide ate least 1” of space around all sides. Do not mount the smplifier under carpets or where airflow is
restricted.
3. Do not install the amplifier where it may be exposed to moisture.
4. The optimum mounting location varies between vehicles. Remember to test all amplifier functions before
completing the final mounting procedure.

Connecon Descripons
NOTE:
Be sure to follow specific instructions included with your amplifier installation kit (not included with this amplifier).
The information below should be used as a general guideline only.
Power Wire (+12V)
1. Disconnect negative battery terminal before proceeding. Consult a qualified technician for instructions if you
are unsure.
2. Plan wire routing before cutting any wires to length. Begin by routing the power +12V wire from the battery to
the amplifier location. Use a grommet when running wires through the firewall or metal openings. Avoid running
the power wire near existing vehicle wiring to prevent induced noise from entering the audio system.
3. Use extreme caution when drilling holes to avoid damaging fuel lines or existing vehicle wiring.
4. The +12V wire MUST be fused within 18” of the battery for protection of the vehicle’s electrical system.
Ground Wire (GND)
1. The amplifier ground wire should be as short as possible (no more than 36” or 1 meter). Choose a clean unpainted
section of metal or the vehicle chassis when attaching the ground connection. Be sure to clean the area of any dirt
or grease.
Remote Turn-on Wire (REM)
1. The remote turn-on wire connects to the head unit’s amplifier turn-on lead or power antenna output.
Speaker Wires
1. Choose adequate gauge speaker wire depending on your exact amplifier/speaker combination. Be sure to observe
polarity when connecting.
2. Do not ground any speaker wires or connect any speaker wires together.
Input Signal
1. The amplifier’s input signal connects to the head unit’s low level (RCA) or high level (speaker wire) outputs.
2. Low level input signals deliver the best performance. If unavailable, use the high level inputs - when interfacing
with factory head unit for instance.
CAUTION
1. Do not use both low and high level inputs at the same time. Connect only one or the other.
2. Keep low level inputs away from any power wires to avoid engine noise.
3. Never run any wires underneath or outside the vehicle.

Amplier Connecons
Input Signal Connecons
Low Level Input (RCA)
Low level (RCA) input signal is preferred for best performance. Typical trunk-mount amplier installaons require a
17-20 foot RCA cable. Most trucks and under-seat applicaons require a 6-9 foot RCA cable. Using twisted pair
construcon RCA cables will minimize noise.
Note: Do not use both low and high level inputs at the same me - connect only one or the other.
Speaker Connecon
Connect speaker wires observing
polarity. The minimum impedance load
for the ampliers is 2 ohms stereo and
4 ohms bridged. Use of loads lower
than these is not recommended and
may cause amplier damage. The
ampliers can be wired for stereo
bridged or stereo/bridged
simultaneous operaon.
High Level Input (Speaker Wire)
High level inputs should only be used when
RCA outputs are not available from the head
unit. Connect the head unit speaker outputs
to the high level input connector as shown
below. The black wire (signal reference
ground) may or may not require a connecon
to chasis ground - depending on your
parcular installaon.

Conguraon/Setup
Input level Control
The input level control (gain) is used to obtain the best possible match between the head unit audio output and the
amplifier input. Begin by turning the input level control fully counterclockwise. Next, turn up the head unit volume
control around 3/4 of the way up. Adjust the input level control clockwise until audible distortion is heard, then
slightly counterclockwise to provide the best match. Repeat for all input level controls.
Crossover Mode
The crossover is used to filter out frequencies above or below a certain point. Choose LPF when using the
amplifier with subwoofers, HPF when using with midrange/tweeter combinations and FULL when using with
coaxial-type speakers.
Note: Choose FULL when using the amplifier in stereo/bridged simultaneous mode. In this mode, passive crossovers
are required. Failure to use the correct passive components may damage the amplifier and/or speakers. Consult a
qualified professional for recommendations.
Crossover Control
This control allows precise adjustment of the crossover frequency.
Bass Boost
This control provides additional boost @ 45Hz when used with subwoofers. Adjust this control with caution - as
improper use can damage speakers!
Power/Protect Indicators
Colored LED indicators illuminate from the plastic power terminal. The blue LED illuminates during normal operation
(POWER) and the red LED indicator is visible when the amplifier detects a fault (PROTECT).
