Thermal, DC offset, reverse polarity, and short circuit protection with status LED. Top-mounted controls located under illuminated Viper snake logo trim piece. Dual continuously variable 12 dB/octave two-way crossovers (ch 1-4). Continuously variable 24 dB/ octave low-pass crossover (sub channel).
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES 1. Please read this owner’s manual carefully before installing this ampli- fier. 2. Disconnect the battery ground terminal prior to making any elec- trical connections. 3. Check for any hazards or obstruc- tions such as gas tanks, fuel or brake lines, and wiring harnesses before mounting the amplifier.
WIRE CONNECTOR PLUGS Power and speaker wire connections on Viper Audio power amplifiers are performed with the use of specially designed connectors that allow for ease of wire termination and installation convenience.
W W a a r r n n i i n n g g : : DO NOT connect a level control knob from other manufacturers to the Remote Sub Level Control of any Viper amplifier. Even though the connectors fit properly, the control knob and connector pin posi- tions may be different and the amplifier will be damaged.

Viper Badge Mounting The Viper Badge can be rotated in 90- degree increments to accommodate the amplifier’s final mounting position. 1. Determine the final mounting posi- tion of the amplifier.
Three channel operation (bottom view) N N O O T T E E : : The dual + and -- subout terminals of the 1100.5 are paralleled internally and the combined load impedance should be taken into consideration when connecting multiple subwoofers.
They are the Parallel Synced Gain and External Synced Bridged combi- nations. NOTE: The Viper 1100.5 is always the master amplifier in these combinations. Parallel Synced Gain The Parallel Synced Gain combination includes a master amplifier (1100.5) and a slave amplifier (d600.1).

CROSSOVER SETTINGS AND GAIN ADJUSTMENT Your Viper Audio power amplifier needs to be adjusted carefully to achieve maximum performance. These are some guidelines to follow when fine-tuning the amplifier. For full-range and simultaneous stereo/mono bass applications, the crossover selection switch should be set to FLAT. If the amplifier is driving your subwoofers, set the switch to LPF, and for mid-bass/midrange output, set to HPF.
