    System Design The success of any car stereo system relies on several factors, such as the system design, execution of the installation, and system setup. Please remember that any system is only as good as its weakest link. Please remember that higher power systems are not necessarily useful purely for high sound pressure levels, but also to establish a headroom capability, to reproduce musical peaks cleanly without distortion.

    P900.4 / P1400.4 / P1800.4 / 4 CHANNEL AMPLIFIER APPLICATIONS 4 CHANNEL FULL RANGE SYSTEM Here we show how to use the 4 channel amplifiers as straightforward discrete 4 channel full range units. Interconnect cable checklist: - Connect the four inputs of the amplifier to a Radio/CD with quality RCA cables. Switch setting checklist: - 1/2CH X-OVER: FULL - 3/4CH X-OVER: FULL...
  • Page 8 2 way active, or bi-amplified system with mono bass This application shows how easily a 2 way active system can be implemented using a 4 channel amplifier. Channels 1 and 2 will be used for highs, and channels 3 and 4 for mono bass. Interconnect cable checklist: - We need to feed the same signal to both sets of channels, so must use 2 Y- adapters, one to feed the LEFT signal to channels 1 and 3, and the right signal to...
