1.
RCA Line Output Jacks – These outputs provide a convenient source for daisy-chaining an additional
amplifier without running an extra set of RCA cables from the front of the vehicle. These are pass-thru
only and are not effected by crossover or gain adjustments.
2.
RCA Input Jacks – The industry standard RCA jacks provide an easy connection for line level input. They
are plated to resist the signal degradation caused by corrosion.

Remote – This RJ-45 cable connection is used for connecting the remote Level and Frequency Boost
controller that can be installed in a variety of ways for easy control access. One control attenuates Gain
set on the amplifier from 0 to -20dB. The other control is used for boosting the set frequency on the
amplifier from 0 to +12dB. The remote also has Power and Protect LED indicators for the amplifier.
