For power cable runs over 20 feet,
8ga is recommended.

Power cable size
and fusing

It is critical to use the proper power
and ground cable. Select the size

listed here for your amplier model.

Always use high quality copper
cable. Visit our website for multi amp
system cable recommendations.

Be sure to use the proper fuse size
for each model. Some models require
an external fuse.

Properly route power,
speaker and RCA cables
through the vehicle.

Choose a mounting location
that will provide adequate air

ventilation. Mount the amplier to

a secure surface. Do not mount

the amplier upside down.

Attach the chassis ground, +12V and remote wire.
It is important to make sure these connections are
very secure.

positive battery terminal. The
power cable must be fused
within 18 inches of the battery
terminal.

Re-connect the negative
battery terminal making sure it
is securely tightened.

Connect the speaker cables to
the speaker output connectors.
Follow the diagram below

disconnected from battery power. This is an anti-theft

feature. Before unplugging power, you must determine if

your radio/source unit requires a reset code. Check the
operation manual for your vehicle or contact the dealer.

Installation Guide

The illustrations below describe the various controls. Refer to

the illustration that matches your amplier.

The gain control purpose is to match
the output of your source signal to the

amplier. Refer to the section B below for

detailed instructions.

This switch will set the amplier to have
a full frequency output or to lter out high

or low frequencies. The NA1-400.2 offers

either a bandpass or a high pass lter.

The Low Pass Filter will cut off the
frequencies above the setting. The High
Pass Filter will cut off the frequencies
below the setting.

The Boost Switch will increase the signal
12dB at 45Hz. Be aware this setting can
cause distortion if the gain is not set
properly.

The Subsonic Filter will cut off the
frequencies below the setting. If using
with a subwoofer the settin should be kept
between 15-25Hz.

1. If possible, with the source unit off, conrm that the primary volume control is
turned down (counter clockwise).

2. Turn on the source unit (CD, or MP3 player). Re-conrm that the volume is
turned down. Make sure the source unit controls; balance, fader, bass and
treble are all set to center or “0” adjustment. Make sure that the green LED on

the end of the amplier is illuminated.

3. Play a clean musical selection of which you are very familiar. CD is preferred.
Do not use radio signals for level setting. Hit play and start turning the volume
of the source unit up.

4. Stop increasing the source unit volume when you reach 3/4 (about 75%) or until
you hear speakers begin to slightly start producing distortion.

5. Increase the amplier gain (clockwise) until distortion is heard, then back
the level down (counter clockwise) until the distortion is eliminated. Small

adjustments may need to be made to balance the levels of multiple ampliers.

This is a critical step to insure your amplier

is properly adjusted to match the signal
output level of your source unit.

THIS IS NOT A VOLUME CONTROL!
