Page 13: How To
HOW TO A well-built sound system will set you aside from the rest and elevate your vehicle! It’s important that you carefully read the instructions on the following pages.

INSTALL AMPLIFIER Make sure your vehicle is up to task. - Page 14 HOW TO It’s time to find the perfect location to place your amplifier!

Also leave enough space so it´s easy to connect your cables and reach for the controls.

Page 20: Tweaking & Settings
HOW TO TWEAKING & SETTINGS The devil is in the details. Tweak the settings on your MAX amplifier using the following recommendations and cross the line that separates the average user from the hardcore high-power audio junkie! LEVEL (GAIN) Remember that the level/gain setting is not a volume control! It’s there to let you sync your head unit’s output signal with the amplifier. - Page 21 HOW TO Use an oscilloscope for high precision results When you are setting the level/gain on your amplifier with an oscilloscope you are measuring the output power of the amplifier. WARNING! Make sure that the positive speaker cable is removed from the amplifier. Set the level/gain to minimum.
- Page 22 The MAX A2 amplifiers are designed to offer you the option to either connect them to a subwoofer or to full range speakers/midrange drivers. The built-in crossovers need to be set correctly depending on type what type of setup you are going to apply.
- Page 23 HOW TO SUBWOOFER: Set the HPF dial to 10Hz, the LPF dial to 80Hz and the switch to LP/BP mode this gives you a good starting point for tweaking and finding the desired crossover points. All crossovers has a 12dB octave slope so if you for an example turn the HPF dial to 40 Hz the sound will be 12db lower at 20Hz.
- Page 24 HOW TO MODE SETTING MODE MONO / STEREO When the switch is on mono mode, signal sent from either left or right RCA input will be summarized and outputted on both the left and right speaker terminals (RCA input Left or Right - Speaker left and right terminal).
- Page 25 BASS EQ in default mode or consult with your local GAS AUDIO POWER dealer. If you use the BASS EQ, make sure to turn down your level/gain first (to 0) before you start adjusting it.
