  • Page 2: What Is Included

    Introduction With the Sound Storm Laboratories EVOLUTION MOSFET amplifier series, we are introducing eleven new amplifiers, all designed in the USA. This new series includes a two monoblock amps, six 2-channel, and four 4-channel amplifiers. All EVOLUTION models feature variable low pass and high pass crossovers and variable input gain controls.
  • Page 3: About 2 Ohm Operation

    Features Your new EVOLUTION amplifier features the following: • Class A-B operation • Bridgeable outputs (except EV1500M and EV2500M) • Tri-Mode capable (except EV1500M and EV2500M) • MOSFET PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) Power Supply • 2 Ohm stable stereo operation with output power increase •...
  • Page 4: General Precautions

    General precautions Before installing and using your new Sound Storm amplifier, please become familiar with all the infor- mation contained in this manual. Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. • Do not open or attempt to repair this unit yourself.
  • Page 5: Connecting The Amplifier

    Connecting the amplifier Before doing any wiring, look through this manual and identify the diagrams to follow for power, input and speaker connections for your particular installation. Be sure you understand all the connections before you proceed. 1. Connect the power ground terminal to the closest point on the chassis of the car.
  • Page 6: Low Level Input Wiring

    Low Level Input Wiring Low-level (RCA) input wiring is preferred for best audio performance. Always use a high-quality RCA cable for best audio performance. NOTE: Do not connect BOTH the high level and low level inputs from your receiver to your amplifier at the same time! 2-Channel Amplifiers EV2.1000, EV2.1200, EV2.1600, EV2.2000, EV2.2600, and EV2.3000...

  • Page 8: High Level Input Wiring

    High Level Input Wiring The high level input(s) should only be used when your head unit lacks RCA outputs. If the RCA outputs are not present, connect the speaker outputs from the receiver to the high level input connector of the amplifier. Be sure to observe polarity to avoid audio phase problems.
