INTRODUCTION Amplifier's provide high-performance sound reinforcement for you mobile audio equipment. The Multi-Mode bridging capabilities allow flexibility in hosting several different speaker configurations. To achieve optimum performance, it is highly recommended that you read this Owners Manual before beginning installation.

Controls & Functions 1.Speaker terminals 2. Input Sensitivity Adjustment This control adjusts the amplifier's input sensitivity. Input sensitivity is variable from 200 Millivolts to 8 volts. Clockwise increases sensitivity. Counterclockwise decreases sensitivity. The amplifier can be driven to full power with a wide range of signal levels. A lower signal level will require increased sensitivity for full power.

Controls & Functions 4. Low Level OUT RCA jacks The LINE OUT allows you to build multiple amplifier systems without having to use splitter cords to distribute the signal. Now it is simply a matter of bringing one set of RCAS into the first amplifier, then using the line out RCA jacks as the feed to the next amplifier.

Controls & Functions 13. Remote Control Input - Fig 1. Remote Boost Control : EGA-RM 14. LED indicator POWER : This GREEN LED will illuminate when the amplifier is turned "ON". If it fails to illuminate, check the power connections to the Amplifier and fuses. PROTECT: The amplifier protection circuitry will disable the amplifier if input overload, short circuit or extremely high temperature conditions are detected.

LEVEL EGA-RM Remote Bass Boost Control : EGA-RM Remote Bass Boost Control : This control adjusts the Bass Boost gain for the amplifier's speaker output (0 - +12dB) Planning and Mounting Your System The mounting position of your Amplifier will have a great effect on its ability to dissipate the heat generated during normal operation.
Tuning on the Amplifier The amplifier automatically turns on a few seconds after you turn your vehicle's ignition switch to ACC or ON or turn on your auto sound system, depending on how you wired the system. The POWER indicator on the top of the amplifier lights when the amplifier is on. Important : Your amplifier requires 30 amps or more of power from your vehicle's battery during operation.
