Safeguards
Please take the time to read this Owners Manual.
The following guidelines are designed to assure a safe and
properly installed Xtant Mobile Audio System.
All Xtant amplifiers and accessories are intended to be installed by a certified pro-
fessional mobile audio installation specialist. It is the recommendation of Xtant
Technologies that your new Xtant product(s) and all of your mobile audio prod-
ucts be installed by your Authorized Xtant Select Dealer.
Wiring Requirements
All Xtant A Series amplifiers have minimum wire gauge requirements for:
Power - 4 gauge
Ground - 4 gauge
Speaker cables - 12 gauge.
Fusing Requirements
A Series Amplifiers are not fuse protected! For safety, an outboard fuse may be
added close to the amplifier. A fuse must
be installed in-line with the power wire
at the battery, no further than 18” from battery. For fuse requirements refer to
pages 5 and 6 of this manual. In the case of a muti-amp system, use a fuse value
equal to the combined value of all (system amplifier’s) on-board power fuses.
Water and Moisture
Install all Xtant amplifiers and accessories in a location free of moisture or
exposure to water.

Standard Features
Subsonic Filter
24dB/Octave Variable 20-80 Hz
Fully Regulated PWM Power Supply
All Xtant “A” Series amplifiers feature a Fully Regulated, Pulse Width Modulated
power supply. This supply technology provides high efficiency and consistent output
performance even when battery voltage is less than optimum.
Crossover
A 24dB/Octave low pass filter network with variable 40-120 Hz frequency selection is
included.
Balanced/Floating Input
When enabled, this circuitry helps to eliminate “system noise” associated with
“ground loops”. When combined with the input sensitivity adjustment, it allows
the A Series to accept up to 17V of input signal. Balanced must be used for BTL
inputs using the HLA.
Protection Circuitry
Both Thermal and Overcurrent protection are incorporated into the “A” Series
Amplifiers. In the event of a problem, the amplifier will reduce its power to
maintain operation.
Status LEDs (Located on the top of the amplifiler)
Three LEDs, indicate operational status of all Xtant A Series amplifiers. The red LED
illuminates when the amplifier is “ON”, the yellow LED indicates that overcurrent
protection is engaged, the orange LED indicates that the thermal protection circuit
is engaged.
Optional Performance Upgrades
High Level Adapter (HLA)
This adapter allows you to connect a source unit with speaker level outputs to your
Xtant amplifier.
Remote Level Control (RLC)
The RLC or Remote Level Control allows a remote bass control to be adjusted from
the driver’s seat.

Connection Diagrams
1. Input – Xtant A series amplifiers feature RCA type input connections.
Source units with an output signal level of 100mV – 17V may be used.
See "Balanced Input" for proper voltage level setting.
2. Output – These RCA type output connections send full range sig-
nals to additional amplifiers eliminating the need for "Y" connectors.
3. Balanced Input – The balanced input switch serves two purposes.
First, it helps eliminate noises being induced into the signal path by
isolating the signal ground. Second, it is used to set the proper
input voltage range:
Off Position: 100mV – 8V
On Position: 200mV – 17V
4. Gain – This feature is used to fine-tune the input sensitivity of the
amplifier to the source unit’s output level.
5. Xover Frequency Control – This control allows the user to choose
the exact low-pass frequency range the amplifier will play for the
best possible performance. The upper end of the crossover frequen-
cies can be selected from 40Hz – 120Hz at 24dB per octave.
6. Bass Boost – This feature will add up to 12dB of low frequency
impact to the audio system. The Bass Boost is centered at 45Hz.
7. Subsonic – This feature limits the lower end of the low-pass fre-
quencies sent to the subwoofers. The subsonic feature includes a
selectable on/off switch, and a control knob used to adjust the
lower end of the low-pass range. The subsonic setting can be
selected from 20Hz-80Hz at 24dB per octave.
8. RLC – This port allows the use of the optional Xtant "remote level
control" (RLC). The RLC is a bass control module that can be
installed in any location within the vehicle for remote adjustments.
9. Speaker Connection – Two sets of speaker terminals are provid-
ed for dual woofer applications. When connecting a single woofer,
use only one set of speaker terminals. Warning, the Xtant A3001
and A6001 are not bridgeable.
10. Power Terminals – This is the main power connection for the
amplifier. The power and ground wire size should be the same gauge.
GND – The ground wire from this connection must be attached to
bare metal on the vehicle.
REM – To turn the amplifier on/off, this terminal must be connected
to the source unit’s "remote or electric antenna" wire.
+12V – The power wire from this connection must be attached to
an inline fuse, then to the positive side of the vehicle battery.
WARNING: An outboard fuse must be installed in-line with the power
wire within 18 inches of the battery.
