FEATURES Super-efficient Class D PWM design runs much cooler than conventional amps. High-speed MOSFET switching power supply. High-current complimentary MOSFET outputs stable into one ohm loads. Thermal, DC offset, reverse polarity, and short circuit protection with status LED. Master/slave RCA jack functions support two amps bridged to one load.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES 1. Please read this owner’s manual carefully before installing this ampli- fier. 2. Disconnect the battery ground terminal prior to making any elec- trical connections. 3. Check for any hazards or obstruc- tions such as gas tanks, fuel or brake lines, and wiring harnesses before mounting the amplifier.

COMBINING AMPLIFIERS The Viper 750d/1500d 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. They are the Parallel Synced Gain and External Synced Bridged combinations.

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.
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.
