Thank you for purchasing a Cadence Q Series amplifier . Over the past years, the technology used to create audio amplifiers has grown by leaps and bounds. W e have tens of thousands of satisfied customers still using our first generation Ultra Drive amplifiers which are more than 10 years old.
All the terminals on the amplifier are solid brass and gold plated for high conductivity and minimum impedance loss. The power and ground terminals are extra large and capable of accepting 4-8 gauge wire. The speaker terminals can accept 16 gauge wire.
Cadence Q Series amplifiers feature "ARV A" circuitry in their power supply . This circuit constantly monitors the output stage and under high current demands will adjust the power supply rail voltages so that enough power is available for peak situations.
The remote turn on connection is located on the barrier strip next to the power and ground connections. This connection is responsible for turning the amplifier on and off with the rest of the system. A smaller gauge wire can be used to make this connection to your radio's power antenna lead.
Once the system is operational, the first thing to do, is set all crossover points to approximate settings. In the case of the basic subwoofer system Low Pass filter crossover at 100 Hz or so. Set the Bass Boost equalizer controls to 0 dB Now you should set the amplifiers LEVEL adjustment.
Choose a convenient mounting location with unobstructed airflow . The Q amplifiers feature four plastic mounting tabs located at the amplifiers four corners. Y ou will need to remove the light-up acrylic panel and the chrome trim plate to access these mounting tabs.

Please note that the minimum impedance load for single Cadence Q Series amplifiers is 2 ohm stereo and 4 ohm mono bridged. Lower impedance loads will cause overheating and may damage the amplifiers.
