    RIGHT OUTPUT / INPUT SUBSONIC FULL RANGE MONO This application illustrates the basic mono bridging method for all HiFonics amplifiers. Interconnect cable checklist: A MONO signal source is required, such as would be available from the mono sub bass output of an active crossover, whether standalone, or built into a head Important: unit or equalizer.
  • Page 8 XXV JUNO 2 CHANNEL AMPLIFIER APPLICATIONS Stereo high pass with mono low pass in a 2 way active, or bi-amplified system In this application we will use a 2 channel amplifier for the high frequencies, and a second one for the low frequencies, or mono sub bass. Please consult the speaker specifications to determine maximum amplifier power requirements.

    This will allow you to operate separate subs independently (on each channel 1 or 2) at 4, 2 or 1 Ohm at up to 5000 watts or bridged across 1& 2 to operate a single sub up to 10000 watts at 4 or 2 Ohms.
  • Page 14: System Design & Installation

    SYSTEM DESIGN AND INSTALLATION The success of any car stereo system relies on several factors, such as the system design, execution of the installation, and system setup. This section is intended to assist the installer by offering several tips and hints about good installation practice. Please remember that any system is only as good as its weakest link.

    Turn the level control up slowly, till you hear distortion, then back off a few degrees on the control. Single 4 channel amplifier systems (XXV-GEMINI): Turn the channel 1 & 2 level control up slowly, till you hear distortion, then back off a few degrees on the control. Repeat for channel 3 & 4.
  • Page 16: Troubleshooting And Diagnostics

    The key to finding the problem in a misbehaving sound system is to isolate parts of that system in a logical fashion to track down the fault. Description of the Diagnostic system built into all HiFonics amplifiers The diagnostic system will shut down the amplifier, until reset by turning the head unit off, and back on. This state of affairs will be indicated by the front/side panel PROTECT LED lighting up under the following conditions: 1 - A short circuit on the loudspeaker leads.
