OPERATION IN BRIDGE MODE

The Model 1002

amplifier must use an external pre-amp or crossover to be

used as a bridgeable amplifier. They must be bridged using a Linear Power™

crossover such as the Linear Power™ XO-1

, XO-2

, or similar brand

crossover or pre-amp with inverting capabilities. One channel of the inputs of

these amplifiers must receive an inverted signal in order to have the needed

inverted signal on one channel at the output. Speaker connection can then be

made from LEFT (+) and RIGHT (+). This amplifier is a minimum of 8-ohm

bridgeable, for utmost reliability and sound quality. This amp is not recommended

for 4–ohm bridged loads.

OPERATION/ADJUSTMENT

Apply power to the system. Amp will come on after a slight delay. Turn volume

control up on tape deck or radio. If power output is adequate, leave gain control

where it is. If volume is low slowly increase gain on the amplifier by turning the

gain clockwise with a screwdriver. On some radios, which have very low-level

outputs, a Preamp or Line Amp may be necessary.

NOTE:IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE GAIN CONTROL BE TURNED

DOWN AS FAR AS POSSIBLE. IN ORDER THAT UNWANTED ENGINE NOISE

BE KEPT TO A MINIMUM.

NO SOUND: Check all connections. Check main power fuse. Check accessory

fuse. With a trouble light or meter be sure +12V is present at the amplifier on (1)
