	crossover mode selector
				when used with normal, full range systems, set this switch to “FULL.” If
				you wish to use the internal crossover to power a driver of specific frequency
				range, use the “LOWPASS” or “HIGHPASS” settings.
	input level control			use this control to match the outputs of your head unit to the amplifier.
				Starting with your head unit set at about the 2 o’clock position, increase
				the amp level control until distortion begins to occur, and reduce slightly
				from this point.
	low pass frequency control			when the crossover selector switch is in “low pass” mode, this control sets
				the upper frequency limit for audio program sent to the speakers.
	high pass frequency control			when the crossover selector switch is in “high pass” mode, this control
				sets the lower frequency limit for audio program sent to the speakers.
	Remote Bass Boost			Plug in the Remote Bass Boost Control wire in here.
	bass boost level control			this control permits adjustment of the bass level up to an increase of
				approximately 18 dB.
	low level inputs			this amp features gold-plated RCA input jacks for high impedance input.
				Use these with car stereo output which uses RCA-type connector cables.
	high level inputs			if your car stereo lacks RCA-type output jacks, you may connect speaker
				output leads to these input connectors.
		power LED		this indicator is illuminated when power is applied.
	protection LED			this indicator is illuminated when built-in protection circuitry is activated.
		power fuse		the fuse protects the amplifier and your car’s electrical system from short
				circuit conditions.
	power terminals			use these connectors to deliver power, ground and remote turn-on control
				to the amplifier.
	speaker connections			these terminals are 14K gold plated to guarantee high conductivity and
				minimum signal loss.
