ATA SERIES AMPLIFIERS Congratulations on your purchase and thank you for supporting AUTOTEK! The ATA Series products have been designed to a very high level of performance, with features unavailable in similarly priced amplifiers. These amplifiers have variable crossovers built in, with added touches such as subsonic filter, bass equalization and a remote Level control module (some models) that allows subwoofer Level control from the drivers seat.
GENERAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE System Design The success of any car stereo system relies on several factors, such as the system design, execution of the installation, and system setup. Please remember that any system is only as good as its weakest link. Please remember that higher power systems are not necessarily useful purely for high sound pressure levels, but also to establish a headroom capability, to reproduce musical peaks cleanly without distortion.
LED indicates the powered up and turned on condition. Be sure to check the specifications matrix for specific model impedance capabilities. All Autotek amplifiers feature a comprehensive diagnostic system, with speaker lead short circuit, and amplifier DC ATA800.2 / ATA1200.2 / ATA2000.2 TWO-CHANNEL AMPLIFIERS...

SETTING UP SYSTEMS AFTER INSTALLATION FOR BEST PERFORMANCE 2 & 4 Channel Amplifiers General: At this point you are ready to get more specific on the settings for your amplifier. High Pass: -When in HPF operation, this setting acts as a low frequency cut off for your system reproduction. The point that you set it at cuts off any frequencies from reproduction beyond this point. The 12 o’clock position is a great starting point.

The key to finding the problem in a misbehaving sound system is to isolate parts of that system in a logical fashion to track down the fault. Description of the PROTECT system built into all Autotek amplifiers The diagnostic system will shut down the amplifier, until reset by turning the head unit off, and back on. This state of affairs will be indicated by the front panel PROTECT LED lighting up under the following conditions: 1 -Asort circuit on the loudspeaker leads.
