DESIGN FEATURES
INSTALLATION
1. DSP LCD Display Title screen when amplifier is turned on. Shows menus, sub-menus and
selections during DSP set-up.
2. (up) and (down) Keys Use to scroll menus and sub-menus as well as making
adjustments during DSP set-up.
3. (left) Key Use to back up one step in adjustments or menus during DSP set-up.
4. (right) Key Use to enter into menus and sub-menus during DSP set-up.
5. Select Key Use to select into menus, sub-menus and for finalizing adjustments during
DSP set-up.
6. Cast Aluminum Heatsink The cast aluminum heatsink of the amplifier dissipates heat
generated by the amplifier's circuitry. The inherent advantage of this casting design optimizes
cooling and thermal performance.
7. Power Terminals The power and ground connectors are platinum-plated and will
accommodate up to 4 AWG wire maximizing the input current capability of the amplifier.
8.
REM Terminal This terminal is used to remotely turn-on and turn-off the amplifier when +12V
DC is applied.
9. Speaker Terminals The heavy duty, platinum-plated terminal block connectors (+ and ) will
accept wire sizes from 8 AWG to 18 AWG. These platinum-plated connectors are immune to
corrosion that can cause signal deterioration.
10. RCA Input Jacks The industry standard RCA jacks provide an easy connection for signal level
input. They are platinum-plated to resist the signal degradation caused by corrosion.
11. RCA Pass-Thru/Auxiliary Output Jacks The Pass-Thru/Auxiliary Output provides a convenient
source for daisy-chaining an additional amplifier without running an extra set of RCA cables
from the front of the vehicle to the rear amplifier location.
