Page 3: Design Features
DESIGN FEATURES This RUBITM(_Rapid-Use Branched Impulse) supply topology eliminates “power sags” during low frequency repro- duction by rapidly increasing the duty cycle, stabilizing the power sup- ply and allowing it to deliver the power required when reproducing low frequencies. Also, greater reserve gate power is stored for low volt- age conditions that occur during extreme conditions. - Page 4 - - 2 2 - - 2 4 Bottom View Front View KEY TO CALLOUTS Fuse LED - Indicates blown power supply fuses when lit.

Page 6: Crossover Adjustments
CROSSOVER ADJUSTMENTS The RUBICON amplifiers incorporate an on-board staggered electronic cross- over, with RCA outputs to drive an external amplifier. No external electronic cross- over is necessary. However, if you do desire to use an external crossover you still have the option. The high and low pass portions of the crossover can be set independently of one another. - Page 7 ( INSTALLATION STEP 1 SELECTING THE SPEAKER OUTPUT MODE Channels 1 through 4 of the RUBICON & 805 amplifiers have the ability to operate in any one of the following modes: Stereo (STACT/Mxed Mono).= Use this mode for either stereo operation (left and right channels) or for Mixed Mono operation.

INSTALLATION STEP 3 INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING AMPLIFIER LOCA T/ON The RUBICON amplifier employs highly efficient circuitry, a custom-engineered heat sink, and a unique Chassisink construction to maintain lower operating tem- peratures. Additional cooling may be required if the amplifier is located in a tightly confied area or when driving especially low impedance loads at extremely high levels. - Page 9 I& II-4...
