Page 2: Practice Safe Sound
PRACTICE SAFE SOUND™ Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over 100dB may cause permanent hearing loss. High powered auto sound systems may produce sound pressure levels well over 130dB. Use common sense and practice safe sound. Safety Instructions This symbol with “WARNING” is intended to alert the user to the presence of important instructions. -
Page 3: Installation Considerations
Design Features A. RCA Input Jacks – Line Level from Radio Pre-outs: The industry standard RCA jack provides an easy connection for signal level input. They are platinum to resist the signal degradation caused by corrosion. B. Gain Control: The input gain control is preset to match the output of most source units. They can be adjusted to match output levels from a variety of source units. -
Page 4: Mounting Locations
Installation This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing your new Amplifier. Pre- planning your system layout and best wiring routes will save installation time. When deciding on the layout of your new system, be sure that each component will be easily accessible for making adjustments. -
Page 5: Wiring The System
Installation WIRING THE SYSTEM CAUTION: If you do not feel comfortable with wiring your new unit, please see your local Authorized Lightning Audio Dealer for installation. CAUTION: Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to prevent damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury. CAUTION: Avoid running power wires near the low level input cables, antenna, power leads, sensitive equipment or harnesses. - Page 6 Installation MONO AMPLIFIERS X1.1000.1D & X1.2000.1D These amplifiers have two (2) speaker outputs for convenience and are paralleled internally. CAUTION: The X1.1000.1D and X1.2000.1D amplifiers are not recommended for impedance loads below 1Ω. X1.400.2 X1.1000.1D X1.800.4 X1.2000.1D...

Page 8: Using Passive Crossovers
Installation USING PASSIVE CROSSOVERS A passive crossover is a circuit that uses capacitors and/or coils and is placed on speaker leads between the 6dB/Octave Low-Pass 6dB/Octave High-Pass amplifier and speaker. The crossover delegates a specific range of Speaker Impedance frequencies to the speaker for Freq. -
Page 9: Adjusting Gain
Operation ADJUSTING GAIN To adjust the gain setting, turn the amplifier gains all the way down. Turn the source unit volume up until distortion is audible and then turn it down a bit until the distortion is inaudible. This will be about two thirds all the way up on most source units. - Page 10 Operation STRAPPING AMPLIFIERS (X1.2000.1D Only) The X1.2000.1D amplifiers have the ability to connect two together and have their outputs combined, or strapped, to power a single speaker load. CAUTION: Two X1.2000.1D amplifiers that are strapped together are not recommended for impedance loads below 2Ω. 1.
