Adjust the source unit volume as high as possible without distortion. Increase the amplifier gain until the amplifier distorts, then turn the gain down slightly until the signal becomes clear. It is desirable to operate the amp at the lowest possible gain setting to help reject spurious system noise. -

Unless you are one of those people who uses your amplifier to play a sine wave, (in which case you are on your own) your amp will not draw peak current all the time when playing music. This isn’t rocket science , but it gets the job done. - Page 8 By default, we have become battery experts, so much so that we have our own brand, aptly named the U.S. Amps SPL Series, sold through our Motorsports and Consumer Electronics divisions. The SPL Series consists of two 12 volt models, the SPL- 1000 and SPL-2000.
