Operating Instructions
Once installed, follow these steps for optimal operation:
- Power On: Ensure all connections are secure before turning on your vehicle's audio system. The amplifier should power on with the head unit.
- Gain Adjustment: Carefully adjust the amplifier's gain control. Start with the gain at minimum and slowly increase it until the desired volume is achieved without distortion. Avoid setting the gain too high, as this can lead to clipping and damage.
- Low Pass Filter (LPF): Set the LPF on the amplifier to filter out high frequencies, allowing only bass frequencies to pass through to the subwoofers. A common starting point is 80-100 Hz.
- Bass Boost: Use the bass boost feature sparingly. Excessive bass boost can cause distortion and potential damage to the subwoofers.
- Listening Levels: Operate the system at comfortable listening levels. If you notice any distortion or unusual sounds, reduce the volume immediately.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and performance of your Memphis Audio system:
- Cleaning: Keep the enclosure and amplifier clean. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Connection Checks: Periodically inspect all wiring connections for tightness and corrosion. Loose connections can lead to poor performance or damage.
- Ventilation: Ensure the amplifier has adequate airflow to prevent overheating. Do not block any vents.
- Environmental Factors: Protect the system from extreme temperatures, moisture, and direct sunlight.
