    MULTIPLE AMPLIFIER COMBINATIONS The Directed 750d/1500d 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 18: 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.
