FUNCTIONS

1 LPF/SUBSONIC X-OVER: 2 fixed crossover frequency settings (LPF/SUBSONIC: 80Hz, 120Hz; SUBSONIC: 50Hz, 15Hz)

2 FRONT/REAR CROSSOVER: Adjust the crossover frequency to one of 3 settings using the convenient 4-way switch (High Pass Filter: 120Hz, 80Hz, OFF)

3 LOW (RCA) HIGH LEVEL INPUT: Waterproof MOLEX connector allows 4 channel RCA or speaker level harness to be attached.

4 FRONT/REAR SENSITIVITY: Independent level control for front and rear channels.

5 WATERPROOF RUBBER COVER: Rubber cover can be attached by inserting the rubber stem into mounting hole.

6 POWER/PROTECTION INDICATOR: The dual color LED light indicates when the amp is on (BLUE: Power is ON) and if it has gone into protection mode (RED: Protection Mode).

POWER INPUT WIRING

Diagram Description: Shows the power input connections. A positive wire from the battery (with a fuse holder) connects to the +12V terminal. A negative wire connects to the Ground terminal. A remote turn-on wire connects to the Remote terminal.

Connections:

• +12V (Battery +)
• Ground (Chassis Ground or Battery -)
• Remote Turn On

LOW LEVEL INPUT WIRING

Diagram Description: Illustrates connecting a head unit's RCA outputs to the amplifier's low-level inputs. Includes connections for front, rear, and subwoofer RCA outputs, as well as the remote bass control and remote turn-on lead.

Connections:

• Front RCA Outputs (Left/Right)
• Rear RCA Outputs (Left/Right)
• Subwoofer RCA Output
• Remote Bass Control
• Remote Turn On

SPEAKER OUTPUT WIRING

5 Channel Output

Diagram Description: Shows how to connect speakers for a 5-channel output configuration. Four speakers (4 ohms each) are connected to the front and rear channels, and a subwoofer (2 ohms) is connected to the subwoofer channel.

Connections:

• Front Left Speaker (+) and (-)
• Front Right Speaker (+) and (-)
• Rear Left Speaker (+) and (-)
• Rear Right Speaker (+) and (-)
• Subwoofer (+) and (-)

Bridged 2 Channel Output

Diagram Description: Illustrates connecting speakers in a bridged configuration for 2-channel output. Two speakers (4 ohms each) are connected to the bridged front and rear channels.

Connections:

• Bridged Front Speaker (+) and (-)
• Bridged Rear Speaker (+) and (-)

TROUBLESHOOTING

No Output:

• Confirm all wiring is firmly connected.
• Both +12V and REM terminals must have +12 Volts present and GND must be connected to chassis' ground or to the negative battery terminal.
• Confirm the signal source is connected and supplying an output signal. To confirm the amp is working, connect an RCA patch cord to the line inputs of the amplifier (do not connect the other end of the patch cord). Briefly tap the center pin of each disconnected RCA with your finger. This should produce a noise (brief static or hum) in the speakers.
• If the amp is hot, check the speaker impedance or load. The total minimum impedance of all speakers should not be lower than the rating of the amp.

Weak Output:

• Check gain control adjustment.
• Check speaker impedance.

Unwanted Noise:

• Whine that increases and decreases with engine speed - confirm the Amp & Source unit are grounded properly.
• Clicking or popping noise at a rate that follows engine speed - this is often induced by the vehicles ignition system. Confirm that the vehicle is equipped with resistor spark plugs and wires. The ignition system may need service.
• Noise can be caused by routing speaker input wires too close to the light wires and other accessory wires in the vehicle. Re-route wires to avoid unwanted interference.
• If above steps do not improve/reduce noise, the system should be checked by a professional audio installer at a Memphis Authorized Dealer.
