USING THE FREQUENCY CROSSOVER
X-OVER FREQ On/Off Switch
To use the amplifier’s crossover function with a subwoofer, push in
X-OVER FREQ
to
On
. To use the amplifier without a subwoofer, push and release
X-OVER FREQ
to
Off.
X-OVER FREQ Control
When you
push in
X-OVER FREQ
to
On,
the
X-OVER FREQ 45 Hz/400 Hz
lets you adjust
the crossover frequency from 45 Hz to 400
Hz for Channels 3 and 4 so you can adjust
the sound to compensate for your vehicle’s
acoustics.
Note: Since this only controls the 45–400
Hz frequencies, this control is useful only
for subwoofers and not your main speak-
ers.
