Installation; Installation Considerations - Rockford Fosgate Power Elite T15004 Installation & Operation Manual

8. Infrasonic Filter – A 28Hz High Pass filter designed to prevent frequencies below the audio range
from being applied to the subwoofer from the amplifier. Consequently improving subwoofer
performance and power handling, particularly in vented enclosures.
9. Gain Control – The input gain control is preset to match the output of most source units. It can be
adjusted to match output levels from a variety of source units.
10. Variable Crossover – Is a built-in adjustable filter selectable for High-Pass (HP), All Pass (AP), or
Low-Pass (LP) operation variable from 40Hz to 400Hz in x1 mode, and 400-4000Hz in x10 mode.
11. Frequency Multiply Switch – Used to set the multiplier for the crossover frequencies between x1
and x10. A setting of x1 leaves the adjustable crossover frequency from 40-400Hz. A setting of x10
changes the adjustable crossover frequency to 400-4000Hz
12. Slope Switch – Used to select between a 12dB/octave Butterworth or 24dB/octave Linkwitz-Riley
filter.
13. RCA Input Jacks – The industry standard RCA jacks provide an easy connection for signal level input.
They are nickel-plated to resist the signal degradation caused by corrosion.
14. RCA Active Pass-Thru Jacks – This Active Pass-Thru 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.
15. 2/4 Channel Switch – Pressing this switch in, switches the inputs to a 2-channel mode, allowing
connection to only the front inputs with a 4-channel output.
16. Preamp Output Crossover – Is used to set the crossover output for the Pass-Thru Jacks
selectable for High-Pass (HP), All Pass (AP), or Low-Pass (LP) operation. If set to HP or LP the
frequency of th Pass-Thru outputs will be the same frequency selected for the main crossover.
17. Remote Terminal – This heavy duty, platinum-plated wire connector will accept wire sizes from
12 AWG to 24 AWG.This terminal is used to remotely turn-on and turn-off the amplifier when
+12V DC is applied.
18. Power Terminals – The power and ground connectors on the amplifier are platinum-plated and will
accommodate up to 1/0 AWG wire maximizing the input current capability of the amplifier.
