  • Page 7: Control Panel Layout

    CONTROL PANEL LAYOUT Fig.2 Panel Layout 1. Line INPUT (RCA) Jacks/CH 1 and CH 2 These RCA style input jacks are for use with source units that have RCA line level inputs. A source unit with a minimum of 0.5 volt is required for proper operation. However, this input will accept levels up to 6Vrms. CH1 and CH2 are commonly used for the FRONT Left and Right Channels.
  • Page 8 5. HPF (High Pass Filter) Control/CH 3 and CH 4 This control is continuously adjustable from 15Hz through 250Hz at 12dB per octave and is used in conjunc- tion with CH3 and CH4 only 6. BASS EQ Control/Subwoofer This equalization circuit is used to enhance the low frequency response of the vehicles interior. Variable up to 18dB of boost for the Subwoofer channel centered at 45Hz, the BASS EQ control can be adjusted to meet your own personal taste.
  • Page 9 20. GND (Ground Input Connection) A good quality Ground is required for your PowerBass Xtreme amplifier to operate at peak performance. A short length of cable (no more than 3-feet) the same gauge as the Power Cable should be used to attach the GND terminal directly to the chassis of the vehicle.
  • Page 10 Remember, bigger wire is better! For best results we recommend a PowerBass ampli- fier install kit, available at your local PowerBass dealer.

  • Page 11: Power Wiring

    These amplifiers are designed to work within a 10 to 16 volt DC range. Before any wires are connected, the vehicles electrical system should be checked for correct voltage supply with the help of a voltmeter. First, check the voltage at the battery with the ignition in the OFF position. The voltmeter should read no less than 12V.
  • Page 12 Secure the ground cable to the body using a bolt, star washer and nut. Spread silicon over the screw and bare metal to prevent rust and possible water leaks. NOTE: The Ground must be capable of carrying the same amount of current as the positive wire. Now it’s time to connect the power and ground cables to the amplifier.

    RCA INTERCONNECTS CAR RADIO REAR FRONT Fig.4 Low Level Input using RCA Choose the correct length and style of RCA interconnects for your needs. Always use high quality RCA audio cables (not supplied) for signal connections—those with multiple layers of shielding or a twisted pair variety for better noise rejection.
  • Page 14 Single RCA OUT BUTTON POSITION (Button OUT) Single RCA Output on the Radio (Rear only) In the event the car radio (head unit) you are using Y adaptors has only 1-set of RCA preamp outputs, you will need to split the signal using “Y” adaptors on the Right and Left channels as shown above.
  • Page 15 Three RCA OUT (Front and Rear plus Subwoofer) BUTTON POSITION (Button IN ) CAR RADIO REAR FRONT Three RCA Outputs from the Radio (Front and Rear plus Subwoofer) This is the optimum configuration for this amplifier by providing 3-sets of discrete signal to the preamp. It will also offer the most flexibility in tuning the system.

    USER ADJUSTABLE CONTROLS Input GAIN Adjustment GAIN Input Sensitivity Control Fig.5 GAIN Control This control allows you to match the input level of the amplifier to the output level of your head unit. Matching the input can be accomplished in three simple steps: Set the volume of GAIN on the amplifier to Min (completely counter clock wise).
  • Page 17 Controller Connection Fig.5 Connection with RJ12 Jack Your PowerBass Xtreme amp includes a remote GAIN control module. It uses standard 6-pin telephone wire and modular (U.S.A. style) telephone connectors. To connect the remote GAIN Control to the amplifier, simply insert one end of the telephone plug into the REMOTE gain input port. Plug the other end into the remote module.
