  • Page 2: General Installation Procedure

    GENERAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 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.

    4, 2 and 1-Ohm loads. All Hifonics amplifiers feature a comprehensive diagnostic system, with speaker lead short circuit, and Tri-Mode operation with any stereo pair of amplifier channels is possible, as with all bridgeable amplifiers.
  • Page 4 - 1/2CH X-OVER: FULL BRUTUS MONO Here we show how to use the 2 channel amplifiers as a 1 channel unit by taking advantage of the mono bridging capability of all Hifonics amplifiers Switch setting checklist: - 1/2CH X-OVER: LP Interconnect cable checklist:...
  • Page 5 2 or 3 CHANNEL SYSTEM Here we show how to use the 4 channel amplifiers as a 3 channel unit by taking Crossover frequency control checklist: advantage of the mono bridging capability of all Hifonics amplifiers. Channels 1/2: - HI PASS: N/A The following example shows how to create a 3 channel system by mono - LOW PASS: 11 o’clock...

    SETTING UP SYSTEMS AFTER INSTALLATION FOR BEST PERFORMANCE BRX160.2 / BRX320.4 / BRX640.4 / BRX1200.4 / BRX5000.5 General: At this point you are ready to get more specific on the settings for your amplifier. High Pass: -When in Hi Pass operation, this setting acts as a low frequency cut off for your system reproduction. The point that you set it at cuts off any frequencies from reproduction beyond this point.
