Amplier Owner’s Manual

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 BASS LEVEL CONTROL (RBC)

This port is for connecting the remote subwoofer 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.

OUTPUT

Provides a full range signal for an additional amplier. There is no signal loss if using this output.

+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.

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 Z ampliers.

REMOTE MONITORING DISPLAY (RMD)

Connect optional RMD Voltage Diplay to this port.

SPEAKER OUTPUTS

Used to connect the amplier to speakers. Z500.1 minimum impedance is 2 ohms.
