5.1 HPF - High Pass ﬁlter the unwanted low frequency range from your audio signal.

5.2 FULL - Fullrange setting route your audio signal without any Filter direct to ampliﬁcation.

5.3 BPF - operating High Pass and Low Pass ﬁlter high and low FQ from your audio signal.

6. HIGH PASS FILTER Control

This knob controls the frequency x-over point from where Low Frequency can be cut out.

7. LOW PASS FILTER Control

This knob controls the frequency x-over point from where High Frequency can be cut out.

8. RCA Audio Output

These RCA Audio Output Jacks offer the possibility to route the audio signal to further Ampliﬁer. Welcome for example if Headunit offer only one Output and an additinal HXA Mono Ampliﬁer with external REMOTE Controle need to share same signal. Function is to compare with Y-RCA Adapter.

9. BRIDGE IN

This RCA jack receives signal from the master ampliﬁer when this ampliﬁer is bridged as slave.

jacks (see 1) when the ampliﬁer is working as slave.DO NOT USE RCA AUDIO INPUT

All functions will be adjusted by the master ampliﬁer. Please see the drawing of bridging at page 12.

15. Speaker Terminals

Connect you speaker to these terminals with proper polarity. Never connect the speaker cables with chassis ground, effect short circuit and damage ampliﬁer. Note: We have designed 8GA Terminals to ﬁt Hollywood Energetic HPST Adapters = DUAL OUT

16. (+)12 Volt Battery Terminal

Connect this terminal with proper AWG size OFC Power Cable through a Fuse to the positive terminal of the car battery or the positive terminal of an isolated external car audio battery. WARNING: Always protect the Power Cable via Fuse less than 12inch (30cm) from battery terminal. WARNING: HXA Ampliﬁers need external Fuse not less than 12inch (30cm) from Power terminal.
