Page 3: General Installation Procedure
GENERAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE System Design The success of any car stereo system relies on several factors, such as the system design, execution of the installation, and system setup. Please remember that any system is only as good as its weakest link. Please remember that higher power systems are not necessarily useful purely for high sound pressure levels, but also to establish a headroom capability, to reproduce musical peaks cleanly without distortion.
Page 4: Amplifier Feature Descriptions
LINE OUTPUT: The line output passes through signal from the line inputs which allows you to daisy chain multiple amplifiers from one signal. - All Autotek amplifiers feature a comprehensive diagnostic system, with speaker lead short circuit, and amplifier DC faults indicated by the red “PROTECT” LED.

M1500.1D / M2500.1D / M4000.1D MONO AMPLIFIER APPLICATION Basic application These sub bass amplifiers can be used in any of the bi-amplification systems described in this manual, replacing the 2 channel amplifiers as per the illustrations. Interconnect cable checklist: Connect the inputs to a suitable source, e.g. a head unit with good quality RCA cables. Connect the LINE OUT to the inputs of the system highs amplifier.

SETTING UP SYSTEMS AFTER INSTALLATION FOR BEST PERFORMANCE M1600.2 / M3200.2 / M1000.4 / M1400.4 / M2000.4 General: At this point you are ready to get more specific on the settings for your amplifier. High Pass: -When in Hi Pass operation, this setting acts as a low frequency cut off for your system reproduction. The point that you set it at cuts off any frequencies from reproduction beyond this point.
Page 11: Troubleshooting And Diagnostics
The key to finding the problem in a misbehaving sound system is to isolate parts of that system in a logical fashion to track down the fault. Description of the PROTECT system built into all Autotek amplifiers The diagnostic system will shut down the amplifier, until reset by turning the head unit off, and back on. This state of affairs will be indicated by the front panel PROTECT LED lighting up under the following conditions: 1 - A sort circuit on the loudspeaker leads.
