Page 16: Combining Amplifiers
A very small adjustment may not cause any audible change in level. The Directed D1200/D2400 subwoofer amplifiers have the capability of connecting two or more amplifiers of the same power rating together in a master/slave combination for increased power with accurate level matching.

MULTIPLE AMPLIFIER COMBINATIONS The Directed D1200/D2400 subwoofer amplifiers can also be used in multiples of the master/slave combinations allowing for unlimited expansion to a systems subwoofer section. To use multiples of amplifier combinations the following directions must be adhered to for best results.
Page 22: Crossover Settings And Gain Adjustment
CROSSOVER SETTINGS AND GAIN ADJUSTMENT Your Directed Audio power amplifier needs to be adjusted carefully to achieve maximum performance. These are some guidelines to follow when fine-tuning the amplifier. Because this amplifier is only designed for subwoofer applications, the low-pass crossover is active at all times.
