Page 6: Installation Guidelines
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. - Page 7 and the lower your speaker load, the more heat is generated. For low impedance speaker applications or restricted ventilation installations, an external cooling fan may be advisable. 9. Battery and ground connections to the vehicle should be made with crimped ring terminals of the appro- priate size (surface area is what counts);...

Page 18: Crossover Settings And Gain Adjustment
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. For full-range and simultaneous stereo/mono bass applications, the crossover selection switch should be set to FLAT. If the amplifier is driving your subwoofers, set the switch to LPF, and for mid-bass/midrange output, set to HPF. -
