5. Stereo Gain Control – This feature is used to fine-tune the input sensitivity of the amplifier to the source unit’s output level. 6. Variable Hi, 12dB / Low, 24dB Mono @ 40Hz–350Hz Crossover – This control allows the user to choose the exact low pass or high pass frequency range the amplifier will play for the best possible performance. The upper end of the low pass crossover range can be selected from 40Hz–350Hz at 24dB per octave with a mono output. The lower end of the high pass crossove

Connections 1. Bi-Level Inputs (Low/High Level Input) with Smart Engage™ –Both a low and high level signal can be used. Be sure to lay the signal wire away from all power cables and vehicle computers. Use high quality twisted pair interconnect cables to decrease the possibility of radiated noise entering the system. • Using RCA Connections: If the source unit has RCA outputs, simply attach a signal cable from the source unit to the amp’s RCA input. This will provide signal to the amp. • U

Note: When numerous amplifiers are used in the same system, look into using a relay with a separate power wire connected to an alternative power source to take the strain off the source unit. Normal source units can only keep a constant 12 volts to 2 or possibly 3 amps. This wire should also be run on the away from the RCA cables. • CAP+: This 8 gauge terminal is internally wired in parallel with the +12V on the StreetWires Power connector. It is the ideal connection point for the positive s

will send the components or separates frequencies from 40Hz to 20kHz and then start to taper down as the frequencies go under 40Hz (12dB/octave roll off). The industry standard for high pass setting crossover point is around 120Hz. When the amp is in HP setting and the X-over point is set to 120Hz, the amp will send the speakers frequencies from 120Hz to 20kHz. This crossover network allows the drivers to recreate the frequencies within a precisely designed range so that the speakers do not
