  • Page 8: Precaution

    PRECAUTIONS CHARGING SYSTEM: Audio systems with a single amplif ier can be supplied by most vehicles electrical systems. Systems with multiple amplif iers or a amplif ier that draws extensive amount of current require a higher capacity, battery, alternator or the use of a storage capacitor. We strongly recommend researching the capabilities of the charging system of the vehicle.
  • Page 9: Planning & Installing

    PLANNING & INSTALLING All cables create interference. The power cable and RCA cable are very prone to interference; the remote cables are less prone. There is often interference caused by the alternator or other car electronic parts. Most of these problems can be eliminated by correct and careful cabling.
  • Page 10 PLANNING & INSTALLING Before beginning the installation, consider the following: If you plan to expand your system by adding other components sometime in the future, ensure the adequate space is left, and cooling requirement are met. Are your components matched? The peak power rating of your speakers must be equal or greater than the amplif ier.

    OPERATIONS POWER & PROTECTION INDICATORS - Provide instant information on status of amplif ier, including short-circuit and thermal overload alerts. RCA INPUT - Accepts Low Level RCA lnputs(200mV-6V) form a head unit, pre amplif ier, or equalizer. RCA OUTPUT - Provides easy connection to additional amplif iers. Note that some OEM stereo head units may sense the attached load and may turn off their speaker outputs if expected load conditions aren’t achieved.
  • Page 12 OPERATIONS After the amplif ier has been installed and all connections have been made carefully and securely, turn the radio on to check if the amplif ier powers up. Now turn up the volume slowly f rom the source unit. If there is no sound or sound is distorted, turn-off the system immediately and check if all connections have been made correctly and is secured.
  • Page 13 OPERATIONS PHASE SHIFT CONTROL • 0 Degree - Leaves output unaffected. The output signal is in phase with the input signal. • 180 Degree - Inverts the output. The channel is 180 degrees output of phase. This conf iguration is useful for inverting the phase of subwoofers to improve staging in a vehicle.
