Speaker connection
Never connect the speaker cables with the chassis ground. This may destroy your
amplifier. Check that your speakers are connected correctly which means plus to plus
and minus to minus. We recommend speaker cable from 2.25 mm to up. The connection
ways are shown in the attachment.
BATT+
Battery + terminal. The +12 Volt power cable must be connected with a fuse in linenear
the battery + terminal. Please see the table of cable and fuse selection.
REM
Remote terminal. The remote cable must be connected with the radio remote terminal
so that the amplifier will switch on and off automatically with the radio.If there are two
or more amplifiers installed together, it might be necessary to add anadditional relay.
Please consult your dealer.
GND
Chassis ground terminal. The chassis ground cable must be connected very tight on
a nearby massive and electric conductive place.
Gain
Gain control regulates the sensitivity of the amplifier to match the signal output voltage
of your source unit. The gain control is not a volume adjustment. Use high quality CD
music and increase the volume of your source unit to 75% posit, set the gain at the
minimum and then increase gain slowly (clockwise). Stop at the first sign of distortion,
then lower the gain a little (counter clockwise) to achieve clear undistorted music at
the maximum level.
Remote Bass Level Control
6
When using the remote bass level control you can adjust volume in the driver seat.
RCA audio input
7
These RCA audio inputs connect with your radio RCA outputs. Please use car audio
RCA cables, otherwise it may be disturbed. Keep these cables as short as possible.To
avoid disturbances from your car electronics, please don't close the existing car cables
when you install the RCA cables. If your radio has only one set output, please use a
suitable Y-RCA adaptor. If your radio has only speaker output, you must use a HIGH
LOW LEVEL adaptor.
Run Indicator
8
This LED will light up when amplifier work properly, it will flash or shut down once
amplifier in self-testing or malfunction.

Bridge in
9
This RCA jack receives signal from the master amplifier when this amplifier is bridged as
slave. DO NOT use input jacks when the amplifier is working as slave. All the functions
will be adjusted by the master amplifier.
Bridge out
10
This RCA output sent out bridge signal to another same Class D amplifier in bridging
configuration
Low Pass Filter
11
Filter out high frequency that the woofer can't play. Adjust this knob to match the woofer's
frequency response.
Subsonic
12
Filter out unwanted too low frequency. This function will increase the power handing of
your woofer’s. It can adjust the frequency filter from 10Hz (OFF) to 50Hz.
Bass boost Frequency
13
Adjust the boosted center frequency. The frequency can be adjusted from 0Hz to 80Hz,use
combine with bass boost level adjusting.
14
Bass boost Level
Adjust the boosted frequency from 0 ~ 12dB.

Alarm Indicator
15
When this LED light up, the amplifier may in self-test mode (when power up) or
malfunction. Shut down the amplifier immediately can find the reason before power up
amplifier again.

We recommend to have the installation done by an Authorized Audiopipe Dealer.
Required power, ground wire and proper external fuse as below:
FuseModel Wire
APCL-18001D
APCL-30001D
We recommend a fuse should be installed away 0.2m from the battery. The ground wire
should be connected directly with the chassis of your vehicle which should be metal to
metal ground point connection. The amplifier must be mounted securely at a solid, dry
and low vibration surface in the trunk or passenger area. Fix the amplifier in an open air
area to insure proper heat dissipation. Fix the amplifier in a place where can access easily
to set the input controllers. Install all amplifier cables as far as possible from car electrical
cables such as the car ignition cable.
IMPORTANT:
• When bridging two amplifiers please refer the bridging wiring chart.
• When bridging two amplifiers you should use same model amplifiers.
120 AMP
200 AMP
0 to 2 Gauge
0 to 2 Gauge
• Please make sure the negative speaker terminal of two amplifiers are connected by
the same gauge cables as the positive terminal being used.
• DO NOT connect any signal cables with the input RCA jacks when bridged as slave unit.
• The LPF, Input level and remote functions will be disabled on slave amplifier when
bridged.
• All the functions of the slave amplifier will be adjusted by the master amplifier.
