12. there is not enough output even when the volume control on the car stereo is at its maximum setting adjust the Level control to increase the output from the system If however there is still output from the amplifier when the car stereo volume control is at its minimum setting or the output level increases too fast with a small rotation of the volume control adjust the Level control to decrease the output from the system Once the correct setting is found this control should not require any further adjustment 3 Low Level Input Connections If low level outputs are provided from the car stereo it is recommended that the low level inputs be used for lowest distortion and best performance Use good quality shielded audio cables with RCA plugs at both ends to connect the stereo to the amplifier and keep the cable lengths to a minimum to avoid noise CAUTION Use either the low level or the high level inputs on the amplifier DO NOT use both input levels at the same time High Level Input Connection Ifthe car stereo does not provide low level outputs the amplifier may be connected via the speaker high level outputs fromthe stereo Wire the speaker leads from the car stereo to the 5 pin adaptor harness as shown in the diagram shielded cable is not required for this application and plug the connector into the mating High Level Input socket on the amplifier Carefully splice and insulate all wire connections 6 Fuse The circuitry of t
