Note: All SD ampliers operate correctly up to 14.4 volts. Do not
operate the amplier above 14.4 volts. The amplier will engage its
overvoltage protection, the result is no audio output on one or
more channels.

INPUT

Connect preamp signal cables from the head unit to these terminals.

CROSSOVER FREQUENCY

Controls the lowpass crossover point for the speaker outputs.

BASS BOOST

Variable bass boost from 0 to +18dB @ 45Hz.

REMOTE LEVEL CONTROL

This port is for connecting the subwoofer remote level control. This allows
up to 20dB of volume adjustment. This is not a bass boost, it controls the
level of the low pass signal.

NOTE: This control is not compatible with the Phoenix Gold LPL44 level
control.

SENS

Used to reach maximum amplier power with a wide variety of headunits.

SUBSONIC CROSSOVER FREQUENCY

Controls the highpass crossover point for the speaker outputs to eliminate
extreme low frequencies.

+12V

This must be connected to the fused positive terminal (+12V) of the car’s
battery. The fuse must be located within 18 inches of the battery.

SPEAKER OUTPUTS

Used to connect the amplier to speakers. SD600.1 minimum impedance
is 1 ohm. SD300.1 minimum impedance is 2 ohm.

REMOTE

This must be connected to switched +12V, usually a trigger wire coming
from the head unit or ignition.

GROUND

This must be connected to the negative terminal of the car’s battery or
bolted to a clean, unpainted part of the chassis of the vehicle.

NOTE: Visible through the plexiglass cover, a single blue power LED is located in the lower corner of all SD ampliers.
