GPA700.2 / GPA1100.2 / GPA1800.2 2 CHANNEL AMPLIFIER APPLICATIONS
FULL RANGE STEREO
This is the most basic application for the GROUND POUNDER Series 2 channel
amplifiers.
1. Interconnect cable checklist:
Connect the
LINE INPUTS
to the Radio/CD with good quality RCAcables.
2. Crossover Switch:
The
X-OVER
switch must be in the
FULL
The
MODE
switch must be in the
STEREO
FULL RANGE
STEREO LINE INPUT
FULL RANGE MONO
This application illustrates the basic mono bridging method for all Crunch 2 channel
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 stand alone, or built into a head unit or equalizer.
Important:
Do not be tempted to connect the hot, or positive outputs, from any source
together to obtain a mono signal, as this could very well damage the output stage of that
source.
It is necessary to feed the SAME signal to both left and right inputs via a Y-adapter RCA
cable. Connect the mono speaker positive terminal to the LEFT +, and its negative
terminal to RIGHT -.

3. Crossover frequency control checklist:
N/Afor full range operation.
4. Line Level:
Refer to the section
"Setting up systems after installation for best performance".
NOTE: Minimum final loudspeaker impedances:
4 &-2-Ohms stereo mode or 4-Ohms mono mode
Switch setting checklist:
- The
X-OVER
switch must be in the
FULL
- The

switch must be in the
MONO
Crossover frequency control setting checklist:
N/Afor full range operation.
TIP:
If you are using the mono sub bass output of an active crossover, there is nothing
wrong with switching in the low pass filter in these amplifiers for a steeper low pass roll-off.
Minimum final loudspeaker impedance:
- 4-Ohms mono.
Use both connectors for 4 CH amplifiers
