STREET MACHINE SERIES AMPLIFIERS Congratulations on your purchase and thank you for supporting AUTOTEK! The STREET MACHINE 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.
Each model is capable of 4 & 2-Ohms stereo per channel, or 4-Ohms mono bridged operation except the mono amps All Autotek amplifiers feature a comprehensive diagnostic system, with speaker lead short circuit, and amplifier DC which are capable of 4, 2 and 1-Ohm loads.

SM1400.4 4-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER APPLICATIONS 4 CHANNEL FULL RANGE SYSTEM Here we show how to use the 4 channel amplifiers as straight forward discrete 4 - HI PASS: N/A channel full range units. The MODE switch should be in 4CH. - LOW PASS: N/A Interconnect cable checklist: Channels 3/4: - Connect the four inputs of the amplifier to a Radio/CD with quality RCA cables.

SM1400.4 4-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER APPLICATIONS Front/Rear high pass, using a 2 channel amplifier for mono sub bass The combination of a 2 and a 4 channel amplifier, utilizing their built in Channels 1/2: crossovers, makes it a snap to put together a full system with front and rear - HI PASS: 100 Hz highs, with mono sub bass.
SM3200.1 / SM4800.1 / SM6000.1 MONO AMPLIFIER APPLICATION Basic application These sub bass amplifiers can be used in any of the bi-amplification systems described in Crossover frequency control checklist: this manual, replacing the 2 channel amplifiers as per the illustrations. LOW PASS: 40Hz to 150Hz SUBSONIC:15 Hz to 55 Hz Interconnect cable checklist:...
SETTING UP SYSTEMS AFTER INSTALLATION FOR BEST PERFORMANCE SM1600.2 / SM1400.4 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 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 - A sort circuit on the loudspeaker leads.
Maxxsonics Limited Warranty As the manufacturer of Maxxsonics, MB Quart, Autotek, Crunch and Hifonics car audio products, Maxxsonics USA Inc. Warrants to the original consumer purchaser the amplifier to be free from defects in material and workmanship for one (1) Year from date of purchase.
