Page 8 Controls & Functions 1. Input Level 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 5. Subsonic Filter Control Variable Subsonic Filter (15Hz - 40Hz) : The Subsonic filter will roll off all of the unwanted frequencies below 15Hz - 40Hz. This will allow the amplifier to use that wasted power on the audible bandwidth. 6.

Controls & Functions 9. LED Indicator PWR(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. PROT(Protection): The amplifier protection circuitry will disable the amplifier if input overload, short circuit or extremely high temperature conditions are detected.

Controls & Functions 12. B- Terminal (Chassis ground) POWER BATT PCX2.180/2.270/2.350/2.440/ PCX2.540/2.700 To avoid unwanted ignition noise caused by ground loops, it is essential that the Amplifier be grounded to a clean, bare, metal surface of the vehicles chassis. Note : GROUND WIRE SHOULD NOT BE EXTENDED MORE THAN 3 FT (1 METER). 13.
Page 12 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. Under normal conditions, the heatsink will dissipate sufficient heat to avoid thermal shutdown. However please do not install the amplifier in a wooden box or similar device as this will prevent heat dissipation into the atmosphere.
