ER HPF When Crossover Mode Selector is in High Pass Mode this control limits the frequencies which will be distributed to the speakers to those below the value to which this is set within the range 80 2 5KHz LOW PASS FILTER LPF When Crossover Mode Selector is in Low Pass Mode this control limits the frequencies which will be distributed to the speakers to those below the value to which this is set within the range 35 400 Hz INSTALLATION 1 Find a suitable location in the vehicle to mount the amplifier 2 Make sure there is sufficient air flow around the intended mounting location 3 Bolt the amplifier to the mounting surface 4 Connect the power ground terminal to the nearest point on the chassis of the car Keep this ground wire less than one meter 39 in length Use 8 gauge wire 5 Connect the remote terminal to the remote output of the head unit using 14 gauge wire 6 Connect an empty fuse holder within 300mm 12 of the battery and run 8 gauge of larger high quality cable from this fuse to the amplifier location 7 Make sure there is no fuse in this fuse holder Then make the connection to the BATT connection on the amplifier 8 If multiple amplifiers are being used use cables each with its own fuse at the battery or a 0 or 2 cable from the fuse holder at the battery to a distribution block at or near the amplifier s location 9 Connect all line inputs and outputs using high quality RCA RCA cables
10. hiss noise disappears then plug in the component driving the amplifier and unplug its inputs If hiss noise disappears go on until the faulty noisy component is found It is best to set the amplifier s input level as low as possible The best subjective S N ratio is obtainable this way Try to drive as high a signal level from the head unit as possible PROTECTION LED CoMES ON WHEN THE AMPLIFIER IS POWERED UP Check for shorts on speaker leads Check that the volume control on the head unit is turned down low Remove speaker leads and reset the amplifier If the Protection LED still comes on then the amplifier is faulty AMPLIFIER S GETS VERY Check that the minimum speaker impedance for that model is correct Check for speaker shorts Check that there is good airflow around the amplifier In some appliciations an external cooling fan may be required DISTORTED SOUND Check that the level control s is set to match the signal level of the head unit Check that all crossover frequencies have been properly set Check for shorts on the speaker leads HIGH SQUEAL NOISE FROM SPEAKERS This is almost always caused by a poorly grounded RCA patch cord 27272777 VIBERANT OWNER S MANUAL
