INSTALLATION Connection Descriptions NOTE: Be sure to follow specific instructions included with your amplifier installation kit (not included with this amplifier). The information below should be used as a general guideline only. Power Wire (+12V) • D isconnect negative battery terminal before proceeding. Consult a qualified technician for instructions if you are unsure. • P lan wire routing before cutting any wires to length. Begin by routing the power +12V wire from the battery to the amplifier location. Use a grommet when running wires through the firewall or metal openings. Avoid running the power wire near... - Page 4 INSTALLATION Audio Inputs and Controls High Level Inputs Hi-Pass Filter RCA Line Inputs Crossover Mode Pass Through Low-Pass Filter Gain Bass Boost...

2 Speakers (stereo) Subwoofer (mono) Speaker Connections Connect speaker wires observing polarity. The minimum impedance load for the AX260, AX440, AX460 and AX490 is 2 ohms stereo and 4 ohms bridged. Use of loads lower than these is not recommended and may cause amplifier damage. - Page 10 INSTALLATION Connecting Two Amplifiers - Bridge Mode Master/Slave Mode The Dual mono amplifiers feature a Master/Slave mode, where two amplifiers can be connected together. When two mono amplifiers are connected together, the power from both amplifiers is combined.
- Page 11 INSTALLATION Connecting Two Amplifiers - Bridge Mode Master/Slave Mode (cont.) *MASTER For master amplifier, set the switch to master. This will route the signal through Line-out to the slave amplifier. Set the phase to 0, all adjustments for gain and sound are done on this amplifier.
- Page 12 INSTALLATION Configuration/Setup Input level Control The input level control (gain) is used to obtain the best possible match between the head unit audio output and the amplifier input. Begin by turning the input level control fully counterclockwise. Next, turn up the head unit volume control around 3/4 of the way up. Adjust the input level control clockwise until audible distortion is heard, then slightly counterclockwise to provide the best match. Repeat for all input level controls. Crossover Mode The crossover is used to filter out frequencies above or below a certain point. Choose LPF when using the amplifier with subwoofers, HPF when using with midrange/tweeter combinations and FLAT when using with coaxial-type speakers. Note: Choose FLAT when using the amplifier in stereo/bridged simultaneous mode. In this mode, passive crossovers are required. Failure to use the correct passive components may damage the amplifier and/or speakers. Consult a qualified professional for recommendations. Crossover This control allows precise adjustment of the Frequency Control crossover frequency.
