Operation / Adjustment - Linear Power 5002 Owner's Manual And Installation Manual

Unplug the two jumper wires near the center of the main PC board from the lugs
marked "4" and press them firmly back onto lugs marked "2". This will allow the
amplifier to operate into 2-ohm stereo load on each channel, or a 4-ohm
bridged load when used in bridged mono mode.
Locate the switch marked,"D.I.P. Off/D.I.P. On." Move to "D.I.P. On" position.
The amplifier will now operate with the Dynamics Improving Processor
circuit. This is the only switch accessible through the plug on the bottom cover of
the amplifier, and may be switched without removal of the bottom cover.
The output current capability of the 5002
speaker plug. To ensure a good connection with this much power, a terminal strip
is used. The speaker cable can be brought directly to the amplifier and
connected to this terminal strip as described above.
1. The amplifier will work best if it is kept cool as possible. Mount in a position
that allows air to flow freely through the black fins. Be sure there is ample space
above the amplifier to avoid trapping heated air rising from the amplifier. The
amplifier should not be mounted upside down. Avoid mounting the amplifier in
the dash or on the firewall to avoid noises being radiated directly into the case.
2. Mount your amplifier in a position that allows ample room for gain adjustments,
and the installation, removal and attachment of leads.
3. The case of your amplifier is designed to act as a noise shield. To maintain
this protection, be sure the metal case of the amp does not touch the metal of the
car. Do not remove or damage the rubber grommets, which provide electrical
insulation and vibration isolation.
The output of most any car audio equipment will follow a common distortion
curve. This curve will show that the distortion is at its lowest level right before it
reaches full rated output. After that point, the distortion increases rapidly to
unusable levels.
For any system to operate at minimum distortion with minimum noise and still
reach full power output, the equipment should all be aligned to operate at the
same point on the curve at the same time.
