car/alternator combination that meets necessary requirements. It is also very important that a power amplifier is not used without an appropriate speaker load on each channel.

For other speakers if you are using a woofer, try to keep the HPF the same as the woofer LPF. If you are using no woofer then a full range setting might be more appropriate. A typical six inch driver will play from 100Hz and up. A four inch driver around 200Hz and up. Once your crossover settings are set up, you can move on to the gain or “Level”.

Once the volume is set on the head unit, go to the amplifier and slowly start to turn the “Level” knob up, keep going till it is at a level you are happy with (that isn’t going to deafen you!) or until your driver(s) are just about to distort. If they do start to distort, turn back down till they sound perfectly clear.
