Installation - General WARNING! Before driving the amplifier mounting screws through any surface, be sure of what is behind that surface. Check for the gas tank, brake lines, and any vehicle wiring harness. Never run wires outside or under the vehicle or where they could become broken or interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle. Before You Install Before you install the unit, disconnect the negative (–) battery cable in the engine compartment of the vehicle.
Installation - Wiring Amplifier Fuses Although the amplifier has an internal fuse, additional fuse protection should be installed as close as possible to the battery on the positive (+) power wire going to the amplifier. An inline fuse should be installed at no more than 18"...
Tuning The Amplifier - Front and Rear Speakers 1) Music The material chosen for system tuning must be both clear in recording quality and dynamic in amplitude. Many audiophile “test” discs have musical tracks with both of these characteristics and should be used. 2) Front, Rear, and Subwoofer Input Sensitivity Controls Turn controls all the way counterclockwise (minimum position).
Tuning The Amplifier - Front and Rear Speakers 7) Input Sensitivity Control Starting with the front channels, slowly rotate the control clockwise (refer to the diagram on page 5) until maxi- mum undistorted playing level is heard from the speakers. Listen closely for bottoming from the speakers. If detect- ed, rotate the input sensitivity control counterclockwise until it is eliminated.
The remote level control (GT-RSL) gives you independent level adjustment of the subwoofer’s output level beyond the standard system volume control. Please refer to the RSL’s manual for installation instruction. The GT-RSL is available separately, please consult your authorized Boston Acoustics dealer. If no GT-RSL is used, switch is set to “Off”.
Tuning The Amplifier - Subwoofer (s) 5) Subwoofer Input Sensitivity Control Turn control (refer to the diagram on page 5) all the way counterclockwise (minimum position). In this position, the amplifier will be less sensitive to the input signal from the head unit. Slowly rotate this control clockwise until maximum undistorted playing level is heard from the subwoofer(s).
