LOW BATTERY CONDITIONS AND POOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SHOULD BE DIAGNOSED AND CORRECTED
BEFORE INSTALLING THESE AMPLIFIERS. OLD BATTERIES MAY BE GOOD ENOUGH TO START YOUR
ENGINE AND GET YOU DOWN THE ROAD, BUT MIGHT NOT BE UP TO THE TASK OF POWERING A HIGH-
OUTPUT AUDIO SYSTEM. RUNNING THESE AMPLIFIERS IN A LOW-VOLTAGE SITUATION CAN CAUSE
PREMATURE DISTORTION, FUSE BLOWOUT, AND SYSTEM SHUTDOWN.

NEVER CONNECT OR DISCONNECT THE CONTROL CABLES WITH THE AMPLFIER(S) POWERED ON!
ALWAYS DISCONNECT YOUR BATTERY BEFORE WORKING WITH YOUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AND KEEP IT
DISCONNECTED UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO TEST. COVER ALL EXPOSED WIRES TO AVOID SHORTS. MAKE
YOUR POWER AND GROUND CONNECTIONS EXACTLY AS THE INSTRUCTIONS SPECIFY.

RIDING A MOTORCYCLE INVOLVES A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF RISK. RIDING WITH YOUR TUNES CRANKED UP
ADDS EVEN MORE TO THAT RISK. BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS AT ALL TIMES, AND TURN DOWN
THE VOLUME WHEN NAVIGATING. WHAT LITTLE YOU COULD HEAR BEFORE INSTALLING THIS SYSTEM
WILL BE COMPLETELY DIMINISHED WITH YOUR HAWG WIRED PROPER. ALWAYS ASSUME THE OTHER
MOTORIST DOESN'T SEE YOU, AND FOR JUSTIN'S SAKE, CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURE!

  • Page 12 PSC1502 AUDIO SYSTEMS INSTALLATION GUIDE CONTROLS DEFINED INPUT GAIN ADJUSTMENT: A COMMON MISCONCEPTION ABOUT GAIN ADJUSTMENT ON AMPLIFIERS IS THAT “MORE GAIN = MORE VOLUME”. ACTUALLY, IT’S NOT THE VOLUME THAT’S BEING INCREASED, BUT RATHER THE AMPLIFIER’S SENSITIVITY TO THE SOURCE INPUT. BY INCREASING THE GAIN LEVEL, YOU’RE INCREASING HOW SENSITIVE THE AMPLIFIER IS TO THE SIGNAL IT RECEIVES FROM THE SOURCE UNIT.
