This prevents the signal cables from picking up electrically radiated noise.  Protect all wire from damage. Where a power wire passes through the fire wall or near exposed metal edges, protect the wire with a rubber or plastic grommet. Use wire loom where possible for further protection.  Extra cable can cause signal loss and act as an antenna for

For example, setting the crossover frequency on the master sets it on all slaves. This works for all front-panel controls. Multiple amplifiers can be daisy-chained together. For example, if you had six DPX1851s in a show car, you could control all of them from one master unit (and one remote). The following describes the configur

When the gain is properly set, you should achieve maximum undistorted output with the volume turned up all the way, not half way. If an oscilloscope is available, monitor the output of the amplifier with the scope, watching for clipping of the waveform. Set the gain so that only minor clipping occurs. Adjusting
