XL POWERSPORT FULL RANGE AMPLIFIER Owners Manual version B Please read through this manual to familiarize yourself with your new amplifi er. Should your PowerBass Xtreme mobile amplifi er ever require service, you will need to have the original dated receipt. - Page 3 In the interest of safety, PowerBass USA highly recommends listening at lower volume levels when driving.

Page 4: Technical Features
This amplifier represents the very latest in Class D technology. The XL Series uses the new IR® (International Rectifier) platform which has been under development for the past several years. IR®, a leader in PWM circuit design, has worked in conjunction with PowerBass engineers to produce more stable power output, minimal RF interference and improved sound quality. -
Page 5: Preparing For Installation
Soldering iron • Electronic (Rosen not Acid Core) Solder INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS NOTE: Proceed only if you are a qualified installer, otherwise; see your Authorized PowerBass Dealer to professionally install this amplifier. Always wear protective eyewear when using tools. • Turn off all stereo and other electrical devices before you begin. -
Page 6: Mounting The Amplifier
MOUNTING THE AMPLIFIER Fig.1 Mounting Amplifier To keep your PowerBass Xtreme amplifier running at top performance, choosing the proper location is of utmost importance. Both Thermal and Overload protection are built in. In the event of overheating, the amplifier will turn off and only restart when cooled. For this reason the amplifier should be mounted in a location which will allow air to circulate freely. -
Page 7: Mounting Location
The best places to mount your amplifier are: The floor of the trunk, under a seat, on the back of the rear seat or a storage compartment will air can circulate. For alternate installation locations, please consult your authorized PowerBass Dealer. NOTE: Do not use a drill with driver bit to mount the amplifier. Excessive force could cause the plastic mounting feet to crack. -

CONTROL PANEL LAYOUT Fig.2 Panel Layout NOTE: Panel Layout and Controls may differ by model. POWER/STATUS Indicator This clear LED lights Blue when the power is on—or turns Red constantly when the built-in protection circuitry is activated. Red indicates a problem with the system in relation to the amplifier (See Troubleshooting Tips). FREQ Control This control is continuously adjustable from 40Hz to 400Hz at 12dB per octave when the X-OVER switch is set to LPF (Low Pass Filter) or HPF (High Pass Filter). -

8. REM (Remote Input Connection) All PowerBass Xtreme amplifiers can be turned on by applying 12 volts to this terminal. This can be found on the rear of the source unit in the form of an electronic antenna output, or a remote output. If this is not avail- able you can wire to the ACC position on the key. - 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
POWER WIRING BATT+ (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. - Page 12 REM (Remote Trigger) This terminal must be connected to a switched +12V source. Typically, remote turn-on leads are provided at the source unit that will turn on and off the amplifier in correspondence with the source. If the source unit does not have a remote turn-on lead, then a power antenna wire can be used.

Page 13: Fuse Requirements
FUSE REQUIREMENTS Due to the small size of the PowerBass XL series amplifiers, no fuses are incorporated into the panels that normally protect the unit from excessive current. Instead we have included a wired loop in-line fuse holder and fuse for this purpose. - Page 14 SOURCE INTERCONNECT Fig.6 Input using RCA or 1/8" Shielded Cable 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.
