use this control to match the outputs of your head unit to the amplifier. Starting with your head unit set at about the 2 o’clock position, increase the amp level control until distortion begins to occur, and reduce slightly from this point.

this amp features gold-plated RCA input jacks for high impedance input. Use these with car stereo output which uses RCA-type connector cables.

if your car stereo lacks RCA-type output jacks, you may connect speaker output leads to these input connectors.

this indicator is illuminated when power is applied. the fuse protects the amplifier and your car’s electrical system from short

circuit conditions. use these connectors to deliver power, ground and remote turn-on control

to the amplifier. these terminals are 14K gold plated to guarantee high conductivity and

minimum signal loss.
