LIMITED TWO-YEAR CONSUMER WARRANTY Directed Electronics, Inc. promises to the original purchaser, to replace this product should it prove to be defective in workman- ship or material under normal use, for a period of two years from the date of purchase by the dealer as indicated by the date code marking of the product PROVIDED the product was installed by an...
FEATURES Super-efficient Class D PWM design. Runs much cooler than conventional amp designs. High-speed MOSFET switching power supply. High-current N-channel MOSFET outputs stable into 2 ohm loads. Thermal, DC offset, reverse polarity and short circuit protection. Continuously variable 12 dB/ octave low-pass crossover.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES 1. Please read this owner’s manual carefully before installing this ampli- fier. 2. Disconnect the battery ground terminal prior to making any elec- trical connections. 3. Check for any hazards or obstruc- tions such as gas tanks, fuel or brake lines, and wiring harnesses before mounting the amplifier.

Two subwoofer connection (top view) N N O O T T E E : : The dual + and -- subout terminals of the 250d are paralleled internally and the combined load impedance should be taken into consideration when connecting multiple subwoofers.
CROSSOVER SETTINGS AND GAIN ADJUSTMENT Your Directed Audio power amplifier needs to be adjusted carefully to achieve maximum performance. These are some guidelines to follow when fine-tuning the amplifier. Because this amplifier is only designed for subwoofer applications, the low-pass crossover is active at all times.
