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.
The COLOSSUS and COLOSSUS PRO are stable at 4/2/1-Ohm per channel and 4/2-Ohms bridged. All HIFONICS amplifiers feature a comprehensive diagnostic system, with speaker lead short circuit, The BOLTAR and JUPITER are stable at 4/2-Ohms per channel and 4-Ohms bridged.
VIA FUSE COLOSSUS PRO is pictured above. BOLTAR has a different connection layout MONO This application illustrates the basic mono bridging method for all Hifonics amplifiers. Switch setting checklist: - The AMPLIFIER X-OVER switch should be in the LP/BP position.

2 or 3 CHANNEL SYSTEM Here we show how to use the 4 channel amplifiers as a 3 channel unit by taking Switch setting checklist: advantage of the mono bridging capability of all Hifonics amplifiers. - 1/2CH X-OVER: FULL - PARAMETRIC BASS EQ: X10...

MULTI-AMPLIFIER APPLICATIONS Front/Rear high pass, using a 2 channel amplifier for mono sub bass The combination of a BOLTAR or COLOSSUS PRO and a JUPITER 2 channel bass amplifier(COLOSSUS PRO is used in the example below): amplifier, utilizing their built in crossovers, makes it a snap to put together a - X-OVER switch: LP/BP full system with front and rear highs, with mono sub bass.
HERCULES / ATLAS MONO AMPLIFIER APPLICATIONS Basic application SINGLE AMP INSTALLATION PROCEDURE: FULL RANGE 1. Connect the amp LINE INPUTS to the Radio/CD player full range or mono line out STEREO LINE INPUT Y-ADAPTOR puts with good quality RCA interconnect cables. 2.

COLOSSUS DUAL MONO AMPLIFIER APPLICATIONS BASIC APPLICATION This will allow you to operate separate subs independently (on each channel L or R) at 4, 2 or 1 Ohm at up to 1600 watts or bridged across L & R to operate a The Colossus Dual Mono Block amplifiers are capable of single sub up to 3200 watts at 4 or 2 Ohms.
SETTING UP SYSTEMS AFTER INSTALLATION FOR BEST PERFORMANCE BOLTAR / COLOSSUS PRO / JUPITER General: At this point you are ready to get more specific on the settings for your amplifier. X-OVER: -When in HP operation, this setting acts as a low frequency cut off for your system reproduction. The point that you set your FILTER FREQUENCY at cuts off all frequencies from reproduction below this point.
+12 volt and remote leads to localize the problem. 4 - If the HIFONICS lettering is illuminated but you do not have Power or Protection illuminated, simply remove your remote wire and use a jumper wire from 12V+ on the amplifier to the Remote connection on the amplifier.
