1. RCA (Low Level Input): The unit is equipped with RCA input jacks.
Connect the RCA input with the car stereo or equalizer outputs using RCA
type connector cables.
2. Input Gain Control: These are not your amplier's volume controls.
They are a sophisticated device to be utilized when matching the input signal
of your head unit or equalizer to the amplier.
3. Bridging Capability: The amplier can be bridged to a high-power single channel unit. Ensure that you have a speaker or series of speakers connected
to the bridged setup capable of handling at least 200 Watts of RMS power.
4. Speaker Connectors (High level Input): This unit is equipped with terminal
inputs. Connect the terminals to a standard car stereo output system, whether
it's a common ground or oating ground type originally outputting to speakers.
Connect the speaker wires of the car stereo to the "L-" (Left) and "R-" (Right)
terminals, respectively.
If the car stereo has only three wires, connect the "COMMON" wire to both "L"
and "R" inputs of the amplier.
5. Power Supply Terminal: Connect the +12V DC power supply to the terminal
using lugs and screws accessible at the panel of this amplier.
BATT +12V: Connect the +12V DC power supply wire to the terminal from the
terminal of the fuse at the battery. (Fuse preferably installed within 1 foot
from the battery).
GROUND: Connect the ground wire to the chassis of the automobile, boat,
or other vehicle at the ground terminal.
REMOTE: Connect the control wire, which provides remote turn-on and
power o, to the remote terminal.

9. Speaker Terminals: The speaker terminals are silver-plated for high
conductivity and minimal impedance loss. Ensure that you strip just enough
insulation o your speaker wires to t under the screw plate, preventing
speaker wire short circuits.
The amplier can support an impedance load as low as 2 ohms per channel
or 4 ohms in bridged mode. However, using a 4-ohm stereo load and an
8-ohm bridge load will signicantly increase the life expectancy of the
amplier.
10. Crossover Frequency Unit: This feature allows you to adjust the crossover
frequency for both channels within the range of 40-450 Hz.
11. Crossover ON/OFF Switch: This feature provides the option to operate the

Speaker Connection - Mono Amp System:
Select Elite Series Amps can be bridged from a 2-channel amplier to a onechannel amplier. The ideal speaker impedance for optimum operation is 4
ohms. The amplier will provide stable operation within the range of 2 to 8
ohms loads. The minimum recommended speaker load is 2 ohms for each
channel in normal operation. When operating in the bridged mode, the
minimum recommended speaker load is 4 ohms for each bridged channel.
Operating the amplier below this impedance load can cause damage to both
the amplier and your speakers, voiding your warranty.
In bridged mode on the Elite Series Amps, the speaker negative terminals on
the amplier are not used. Bridging involves using multiple channels of an
amplier to drive a common load, meaning you use more than one source of
power to drive a speaker. In this conguration, the negative terminals for each
channel are not utilized.
Users should avoid setting the gain to maximum automatically, as it can
increase the risk of damaging the amplier. Properly matching the signals is
crucial. High signal levels coming into the amplier can make the system
sensitive to noise conditions. Follow the instructions in the manual to match
the system levels correctly and prevent issues.
