CONNECTING THE POWER (Fig.1,2) CAUTION: AS A PRECAUTION, DISCONNECT THE POWER WIRE FROM THE BATTERY WHILE MAKING THE POWER AND GROUND CONNECTIONS TO THE AMPLIFIER. 4/8 GAUGE(Thicker if planning for additional Amplifiers) wire is recommended for both the power and ground wires. 12 Gauge, for the remote turn-on wire. Both types are available at most Mobile Audio Dealers or Installation Shop.
4.1 Low pass x-over frequency control This control is used to select the desired low pass x-over frequency. STAX1250/2, 1800/2, 2200/2, 1200/4, 1600/4, 2300/4 : The frequency can be adjusted between 30Hz and 250Hz. STAX2000/1D, 4000/1D, 55001D : The frequency can be adjusted between 40Hz and 200Hz.

CONTROL FUNCTIONS 8. SUBSONIC STAX1250/2, 1800/2, 2200/2 : The frequency can be adjusted between 15Hz and 50Hz. STAX2000/1D, 4000/1D, 5500/1D : The frequency can be adjusted between 20Hz and 50Hz. 9. REMOTE Controls the subwoofer amplifier gain, from a remote location for ease of adjustment during listening.
These fuses protect the amplifier against internal electrical damage and are meant to protect the amplifier only. All other power connections should be fused at the source. STAX1250/2 : 20A X 2 STAX1800/2 : 20A X 3 STAX2200/2 : 25A X 4...
