High-Level 2V - 10 V Filter type: Selectable High/Full/Low-pass Crossover @12 dB / Octave Filter Crossover: LPF 50-250 Hz (variable) HPF 50-250 Hz (variable) Supply Voltage: 12 volts, negative ground Fuse Rating: 15 amps.
1. Although this unit is designed with built-in self-protection circuits, there may be a possibility of damage if it is not wired correctly. Please follow the wiring instructions carefully for the type of system being used. 2. The last lead to be connected is the wire to the positive( ) terminal of the battery.
1. Select a mounting area where the amplifier will have sufficient air circulation for proper cooling. Inadequate air circulation will cause the temperature of the amplifier to rise and will trigger the thermal protection mode.
The wiring of your amplifier will depend on the system and speakers you are using but will either be a stereo, mono, or mixed-mono application. The following pages illustrate the input and output wiring for these types. please refer to the appropriate diagrams for the system configuration you are using.
4. Speaker Connections Depending on the type and number of speakers used with the amplifier , wire them to the speaker terminals as per the appropriate wiring diagram. For most applications, #16 gauge wire should be used for the speaker leads but in no case thinner than #18 gauge.

9 -12- Fuse The circuitry of the amplifier is protected from damage by an automotive-type fast-blow fuse. If fuse replacement is necessary, use only fuses of the of the same ampere rating as originally supplied with the unit. The use of fuses with incorrect ratings may cause serious damage to the amplifier.
