MODEL 992IQ
(1995-MSRP $349.00)
OWNER'S MANUAL AND
INSTALLATION GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
Latest technology, high sound quality, powerful delivery, and LINEAR POWER
reliability all describe LINEAR POWER low profile amplifiers. With new "IQ"
circuitry, their value increases. Versatile capabilities such as stereo, mono or
mixed stereo/mono operation and 2 ohm capability make these amplifiers
extremely desirable as the foundation of a multi-amplifier system.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The "IQ" series amplifiers are low profile inverted channel ("I") amplifiers. A
quiet turn on circuit ("Q") has been added for improved performance. The
amplifier design incorporates an unregulated power supply for increased dynamic
headroom efficiency. The output stages of the 992IQ amplifier will deliver a
significant increase in power into 2-ohm stereo loads. Amplifier reliability is
accomplished by the amplifier operation level being set at approximately 50% of
output transistors' rated power handling, even at this lower impedance load.
WIRING
Disconnect battery ground cable before making any power connections.
RED WIRE: +12 volts. Connect directly to battery positive terminal and should be
fused within 18 inches of battery and another fuse where the connection to the
amplifier is made. Remember to use the proper size fuses.
WARNING: USING
OVERSIZED FUSES IS DANGEROUS AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY!
See specifications for proper fuse size.
BLACK WIRE: negative ground. Connect to clean, unpainted metal surface on
car chassis.
RED/WHITE WIRE: Remote turn on lead requires 12 volts; connect to power
antenna lead from radio. When this not available, you may connect to a +12 volts
wire that is on with the ignition on or in the accessory position.

  • Page 1 ("Q") has been added for improved performance. The amplifier design incorporates an unregulated power supply for increased dynamic headroom efficiency. The output stages of the 992IQ amplifier will deliver a significant increase in power into 2-ohm stereo loads. Amplifier reliability is accomplished by the amplifier operation level being set at approximately 50% of output transistors' rated power handling, even at this lower impedance load.
  • Page 2 OPERATING THE AMPLIFIER AT LESS THAN THESE RATINGS WILL CAUSE AMPLIFIER FAILURE AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY. BRIDGED MONO OPERATION The Model 992IQ is built with the right channel inverted. This allows the amplifier to be used in a bridged mono configuration, as well as, a mixed mono/stereo operation.
  • Page 3 GAIN ADJUSTMENT Set the amp gain to minimum, turn the source up until it just starts to distort, then back down slightly. This is the point where the output of the source is cleanest. Now adjust the amplifier gain up until it just starts to distort and back down slightly.
