Select an option:
• Connect the other end of the power wire, through the in-line fuse, to the
battery.
• Connect the other end of the power wire to the appropriate circuit
breaker.
Configuring the Amplifier
Before you use amplifier, you should configure it for any connected speakers
and subwoofers.
You must make all power, speaker, and stereo connections before you can
configure the amplifier.
NOTE: If your stereo features digital signal processing (DSP), such as a
FUSION
Apollo
RA770, you should use the FUSION-Link
®
™
configuring the amplifier (Configuring the Amplifier for a DSP Compatible
Stereo, page 5).
Amplifier Configuration Controls
Each zone has a set of controls you must use to configure the sound for the
speakers connected to that zone.
Dial or
Function
Switch
LEVEL
Adjusts the input signal level for the zone (Adjusting the Level for a Zone,
page 5).
FULL
Sets a full-range filter on the zone.
Allows all frequencies. This is usually used when full-range speakers are
connected to the zone, and no subwoofer is present.
LPF
Sets a low-pass filter on the zone.
Filters out mid to high frequencies that only full-range speakers should
produce. This is usually used when a subwoofer is connected to the zone.
HPF
Sets a high-pass filter on the zone.
Filters out low frequencies that only subwoofers should produce. This is
usually used when smaller speakers are connected to the zone.
FREQ
Adjusts the crossover frequency for the zone
You should adjust this based on the LPF/HPF setting:
• When LPF is selected, all frequencies below the FREQ setting are
passed to the subwoofer connected to the zone.
• When HPF is selected, all frequencies above the FREQ setting are
passed to the speakers connected to the zone.
BASS
Adjusts the gain on the 45 Hz level.
BOOST
This control is available on ZONE 2 and on ZONE 4 only.
This setting should be adjusted only when you connect a subwoofer or full
range speakers capable of low frequencies to the zone.
Installation Instructions
Adjusting the Level for a Zone
NOTE: The level setting is music dependent, and not all levels are appropriate
for all types of music. For example, if you adjust the level setting for rock
music, then listen to classical music, it could result in distortion due to clipping.
1
Using a flat screwdriver, adjust the LEVEL dial for the zone to MIN by
turning the dial counter-clockwise.
2
Begin playing audio on the stereo, and set the zone line out to
approximately
3
Slowly adjust the LEVEL dial for the zone clockwise toward the MAX
setting while listening to the speakers connected to that zone.
4
When the sound from the speakers becomes distorted, stop adjusting the
dial, and slowly adjust the dial counter-clockwise again until the distortion
is gone.
5
Repeat this procedure for the other zones.
Configuring the Amplifier for a DSP Compatible Stereo
If your stereo features digital signal processing (DSP), such as a FUSION
Apollo RA770, you should use the FUSION-Link app when configuring the
amplifier for the best results.
1
Follow the instructions in your stereo owner's manual to download the
FUSION-Link app and connect it to the stereo.
2
Select the appropriate stereo, amplifier, and speakers in the FUSION-Link
app.
