If you find that the output will derive its subwoofer channel signal from a cannot be reduced sufficiently with a direct sum of all four input signals.
The active filter built into each channel section of the XD700/5v2 can be used to eliminate potentially harmful and/or undesired frequencies from making their way through the amplifier sections to the speaker(s). This serves to improve tonal balance and to avoid distortion and possible speaker failure.

“My amplifier shuts off once in a while, usually at higher volumes.” Check your voltage source and grounding point. The power supply of the XD700/5v2 will operate with charging system voltages down to 10V. Shutdown problems at higher volume levels can occur when the charging system voltage (or remote turn-on voltage) drops below 10V.
