POWER PER CHANNEL

• 1 x 1200 wRMS @ 4ohms
• 1 x 2000 wRMS @ 2ohms
• 1 x 4000 wRMS (Two FDP 1.2000s Bridged @ 4 ohms)
• 1 x 2400 wRMS (Two FDP 1.2000s Bridged @ 8 ohms)
• Note: FDP 1.2000 is not 1 ohm stable, and cannot be bridged at 2 ohms

INPUT/OUTPUT CONFIGURATIONS

Because this is a one channel amplifier, if both left and right inputs are used, they are mixed to mono, which is useful
for subwoofers.

CROSSOVER CONFIGURATION

The 48 dB per octave

at the crossover frequency. Frequency response should be as smooth as possible.

SUBHARMONIC SYNTHESIZER - SHS

SHS
• will add deeper bass to music that lacks it. Music is sampled and new tones one octave lower are
synthesized. The levels at 45Hz and 30Hz are set on the amplifier to music taste.

SHS
• Avoid excess
distortion prematurely.
• There is a switch on the amplifier to turn

AUTOMATIC POWER TURN ON/OFF

1. The best way to automatically turn the amplifier power on and off is to use the REM wire from your source radio
connected to the REM amplifier terminal.
2. If your original equipment stereo or source radio has a BTL amplifier, then the RCA inputs have an auto turn on
sensing circuit. When connecting high level BTL speaker wires to the RCA input, the REM wire is not necessary.
