when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as the power input terminals are damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen
into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture,
does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
14. This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no
object lled with liquids, shall be placed on the apparatus.
15. Fuses shall be replaced only with the correct type and fuse value, and
only when the apparatus is powered o.
16. Exposure to high sound pressure levels may lead to permanent hearing
loss. Take every precaution to protect your hearing.
The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure, that may be of
sucient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the
appliance.
Caution: to reduce the risk of electric shock, do
not disassemble the apparatus, other than to
remove the top panel to access the controls.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer
servicing to qualied personnel.
Recycling notice: If the time comes and this apparatus has fullled
its destiny, do not throw it out into the trash. It has to be carefully
recycled for the good of mankind, by a facility specially equipped
for the safe recycling of electronic apparatii. Please contact your
local or state recycling leaders for assistance in locating a suitable
nearby recycling facility. Or, contact us and we might be able to

1. Fuses 30A – Replace these fuses only with the exact same style
and Ampere rating. Disconnect 12V power before changing or
inspecting the fuses.
2. Power Input Terminal +12V – This screw terminal connects to
the +12V battery binding post of the vehicle. Use quality insulated
wire, 4 to 0 AWG.
3. Remote Power Input Terminal – This screw terminal connects to
the 12V remote trigger output of some head units. When the head
unit is turned on, then the LC-5.1300 will turn on. Alternatively,
this terminal will output +12V if the LC-5.1300 turns on using GTO
signal sensing. This can be used to remotely turn-on power ampliers when the LC-5.1300 is awoken by the GTO.
4. Power Input Terminal Ground – This screw terminal connects to
a good ground connection on the vehicle. Use quality insulated
wire, gauge 4 to 0 AWG.
5. RCA Analog Line-Level Inputs – The line-level output from the
head unit or factory-installed radios can connect here, so the
LC-5.1300 amplier will receive the line-level audio signals. Do
not use these inputs if you are using the speaker-level inputs.
6. Speaker-Level Inputs – The speaker-level output from ampliers
and factory installed radios can connect here. Do not use these
inputs if you are using the RCA line-level inputs.
7. Remote Control Connector – This connects to the ACR-1 remote
level control.
8. Speaker-Level Output Terminals – These screw terminals
connect with speaker wire to your loudspeakers Make sure that
the average combined speaker impedance does not dip below
2 Ohms, or 4 Ohms in bridged mono mode.

Quick Start Guide
9. Power LED – If you have connected your battery power, vehicle
ground, and turn-on lead (or GTO signal sensing) correctly, then
this light should be green to indicate the power is ON.
10. Protection LED – The amplier has built-in diagnostic codes to
tell you exactly what is going wrong should the amplier detect a
problem. See page 15 for a list of diagnostic codes.
11. GTO Signal Sense – In the ON position, the LC-5.1300 amplier
will turn on gracefully when it detects an incoming audio signal
on inputs 1 and 2, and it will turn o after a period of time when
the audio signal fades away to silence. Turn this OFF if using the
remote power terminal (see item 3 above) turn on method.
12. Front High Level – Adjusts the Front High speaker-level input
levels, to achieve a nice balance in levels.
13. HP Crossover Frequency – Selects the HP crossover point to
match your speakers and system. Channel 1 and 2 outputs will
receive the frequency range above the frequency selected. Use
the crossover range switch (16) to select the range from 30 to 300
Hz, or from 500 Hz to 5 kHz. The crossover for channels 1/2 is highpass only.
14. Crossover Range – Use this switch to select the range of the HP
crossover frequency control (15) from 30 to 300 Hz, or from 500 Hz
to 5 kHz.
15. Mono/Stereo – Ampliers 1 and 2 can be joined in mono to power a single more powerful speaker (4 Ohm minimum).
16. Gain Control – Adjusts the overall 1 and 2 output levels.
17. 1/2 and 3/4 Bus Sum – This sums the 1/2 and 3/4 inputs together.
So two inputs (L/R) can feed four outputs (2L/2R).
18. HP Crossover Frequency – Selects the HP crossover point to
match your speakers and system (if the crossover switch (24) is set
to HP). The channel 3/4 outputs will receive the frequency range
above the frequency selected. If the crossover switch is set to
bandpass, then this selects the top frequency of the band.
19. Crossover Type HP/Bandpass – The crossover of channels 3/4
can be selected as a high-pass or bandpass type. For example,
bandpass is super for bi-amping your speakers, with channels 1/2
high pass for tweeters, and channels 3/4 bandpass for mid-range.
20. LP Crossover Frequency – Selects the lower frequency of the
band to match your speakers and system (only if the crossover
type switch (24) is set to bandpass). The channel 3/4 outputs will
receive the frequency range selected by the HP and LP controls.
21. Mono/Stereo – Ampliers 1 and 2 can be joined in mono to power a single more powerful speaker (4 Ohm minimum).
22. Gain Control – Adjusts the overall 3 and 4 output levels.
23. 3/4 and 5/6 Bus Sum – This sums the 3/4 and 5/6 inputs together.
So two inputs (L/R) can feed four outputs (2L/2R).
24. AccuBASS® – Enables/disables the AccuBASS® circuit for output 5.
The AccuBASS® has its own controls to work wonders on the lower
bass of the output.
