Tri-Mode Operational Output is a unique feature which allows two channels of an amplifier to
drive a subwoofer operated in MONO mode, while simultaneously driving full range
speakers in STEREO.
To engage the amplifier in this mode, place the Crossover (Subwoofer) switch in the
position. Use a 1 OOv non-polar capacitor for a high pass crossover and a wire coil inductor
to block high frequencies from
the table below for inductor and capacitor component values to determine the desired
crossover frequencies.

Precautions
Before you drill or cut any holes, investigate your car's layout very carefully. Take care when
you work near the gas tank, fuel lines, hydraulic lines and electrical wiring.
Do not operate the amplifier when it is unmounted. Attach all audio system components
securely within the automobile to prevent damage, especially in an accident.
Do not mount this amplifier so that the wire connections are unprotected or in a pinched
condition, or likely to be damaged by nearby objects.
Before making or breaking power connections in your system, disconnect the vehicle battery.
Confirm that your head unit or other equipment is turned off while connecting the input jacks
and speaker terminals.
If you need to replace the power fuse, only replace
the system. Using a fuse of a different type or rating may result in damage to your system
which isn't covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Troubleshooting
If your amplifier is not operating properly, refer to the list below and follow the
suggested procedures. Always test the speakers and check the wiring first.

Confirm that the audio signal source (car radio, equalizer, etc.) is connected and is
supplying output signal. To check if the amplifier is supplying signal, unplug the RCA
cables from the signal source (but leave them plugged into the amp). Briefly tap the
center pin of each of the disconnected RCA plugs with your finger. This should produce
a noise (feedback) in your speakers.
Confirm that all speaker strip connections are secure and tight.
Check the "BALANCELcontrol on the head unit (or other source) to verify that
