Stereo Connections:
When you wish to use the unit as a stereo
amplifier, stereo connections are used.
Bridged Connections:
When you wish to use the unit as a high-output
monaural amplifier, bridged connections are
used. (Make connections to the LEFT channel (+)
and the RIGHT channel (–) SPEAKER OUTPUT
terminals.)

INPUT SENSITIVITY control
Set this control according to the pre-output level of
the center unit connected with this unit, or to the
maximum power output of the genuine-accessory
car stereo.
The sensitivities of amplifiers A and B can be
of the input selector switch.
Use the diagram on the right as a guide.
For the pre-output level or the maximum power
output, refer to the “Specifications” in the
instruction manual of the center unit.
When using an RCA cable with a ground lead
Do not use this terminal for power source

BASS BOOST switch
When the switch is in “ON” position, the bass is
boosted by 6 dB.
The bass boost applies only to the B amplifier.
The amplification methods of the signals input to
STEREO position:
The amplifier can be used as a stereo amplifier.
MONO (Lch) position:
Amplifies the signal input from the left side only.
Set to this position and make bridged
connections to use as a high-power monaural
amplifier. (The input right signal is not output.)

INPUT SELECTOR switch
This switch selects the input method of the signals
to be amplified by amplifiers A and B.
A B position:
Amplifies both of the signals input to amplifiers A
and B.

Tri-mode
Principle of Tri-mode
Method of frequency band division using a coil
and capacitor
...
in case of 6dB/oct. slope
Coil (L): Passes low frequencies and blocks
high frequencies. (Low pass)
Capacitor (C): Passes high frequencies and
blocks low frequencies. (High pass)
Example:
When it is required to set a crossover
frequency of 120 Hz using speakers with an
impedance of 4 ohms.
fc=Cut of Frequency (Hz)
R=Speaker Impedance (
)
If you wish to bridge-connect a speaker, the
speaker impedance must be no less than 4
ohms. Connecting a speaker with an
impedance lower than 4 ohms may damage
the unit.
Be sure to connect capacitors to speakers to
which high frequencies will be passed.
Failure to do so will result in a drop of the
combined impedance with the subwoofer.
Ensure that the withstand voltage and
current ratings of the capacitors (C) and coils
(L) are sufficient.
