Bass EQ Control Available Daisy Chain ( Set-to-Set Bridgeable at 2 ohm) INSTALLATION EXPERIENCE Installation of X-Treme mobile amplifiers requires detailed knowledge of electronics wiring and proper speaker impedance. We strongly recommend installation by an authorized X-Treme dealer. This Owners Manual only provides general installation and operation instructions. If you have any reservations about your installation skills, please contact your local dealer for assistance. -

Connect the input of the MASTER to a suitable source via a shielded RCA interconnect cable and connect the MASTER OUTPUT RCA jack to the corresponding RCA jack on the SLAVE amplifier. Then select the MASTER/SLAVE switch properly.

Power Input Connections Fig.2 Panel Input Connection (XT 3.5KW, XT 5.0KW) Fig.2 Panel Input Connection (XT 9.0KW) This amplifier is designed to work within a 10 to 16.8 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. - Page 8 is checked, make certain the correct cable gauge is used. We recommend using as large a gauge cable as possible. Power This amplifier should be wired directly to the vehicle battery using the appropriate size cable. Start at the vehicle battery and run the power cable through to the amplifier. Avoid running the power cable over engine components and near heater cores.

Fig.3 Low Level Input using RCA (XT 9.0KW) 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. Be extra careful when routing your RCA audio interconnect cables. - Page 11 Fig.5 A Single Voice Coil Subwoofer (1~4 ohm)(XT 3.5KW, XT 5.0KW) Fig.5 A Single Voice Coil Subwoofer (1~4 ohm)(XT 9.0KW) Fig.6 A Single Voice Coil Subwoofer (1~4 ohm)(XT 3.5KW, XT 5.0KW)
- Page 12 Fig.6 A Single Voice Coil Subwoofer (1~4 ohm)(XT 9.0KW) Speaker Load Keep in mind your X-Treme D Class amp is a high power amplifier and not a high current amplifier. In other words it requires a minimum impedance of 1 ohm. Both speaker outputs are internally paralleled, thus a minimum speaker impedance of 2 ohms is required when using more then one of the speaker outputs.
- Page 13 TREBLE to zero. Adjust the GAIN control clockwise until the sound just begins to distort, then back off slightly to cut distortion and operate at optimum gain. Remember, the gain control is not a volume control. Ignoring these three steps above may leave you with damaged speaker and/or a damaged amplifier.

- Page 16 Don’t connect speaker 3. MONO BLOCK INSTALLATION FOR DAISY CHAIN (XT 9.0KW) simultaneously NOTE: SPEAKER CONNECTION FOR DAISY CHAIN The mono woofer must be connected between the speaker (+) terminals of the two amplifiers and use speaker wiring. Install a wire link between the speaker (–) terminals of the two amplifiers. If this is not done, the system will not function properly, and damage to the amplifiers may result.
