Page 3: S Afety Precautions
AFETY PRECAUTIONS Fuse amplifiers power wire at the battery. Be sure to fuse the power wire within 12” of the car's battery. This will protect the car's battery in case of a short circuit between the power amplifier and battery. THIS IS A MUST, the amplifier's built-in fuse will only protect the power amplifier not the car's battery! Use high grade wire connectors. - Page 4 The Solar Series amplifiers include a built-in variable **high and low pass crossovers. The crossover features a variable frequency selection (30Hz ~ 250Hz Low Pass and 60Hz ~ 1.2kHz High Pass ) for precise high or low pass filtering. **Except QS1500D which has a 40 ~ 150Hz low pass filter.
- Page 5 Line Out One set of full range line outputs have been provided for convenient connection to additional amplifiers in the system. Power Fusing This protects the amplifier against short circuits and excessive current. Remote Turn-on Automatically turns amplifier on when connected to the head unit's remote output. The amplifier will turn on and off with the head unit to save current consumption.
- Page 6 OUNTING LOCATION Before you start the installation, it will be necessary to find a mounting location for the amplifier. Find a location in which the amplifier will receive adequate ventilation in order to dissipate the heat it develops during operation. Two popular mounting locations are in the trunk or under the seat.

- Page 8 IGNAL & SPEAKER CONNECTIONS Connect the RCA output of the head unit (AM/FM cassette player, CD, or DAT) to the RCA input terminals of the amplifier. To make these connections, we recommend high quality RCA cables, which are available at your local car audio retailer. Run signal wires away from electrical wires to avoid possibility of induced noise from the car's electrical system (i.e.

- Page 14 IGH LEVEL CONNECTIONS (OPTIONAL) High Level inputs have been included to connect the amplifier to a radio without low-level outputs (i.e. factory radio). This connection will allow you to connect directly to the speaker output of the radio with out the need of an external adapter. Determine the type of radio you have and make one of the following connections.

This feature helps to improve the amplifiers overall performance since power is not wasted reproducing frequencies beyond the speakers operating range.

For example if you wish to drive a pair of subwoofers, you can select the “Low Pass”...
- Page 18 ROUBLE SHOOTING THE SYSTEM We have put together this trouble-shooting guide if you experience problems after installing the amplifier. Please keep in mind that the majority of problems incurred are caused by improper installation and not the equipment itself. In addition, there are many components in the system that could cause various signal problems such as inducted electrical noise and engine noise.
