allows you to use both the high pass filter and low pass filter, and it is for use with mid-range drivers .
The FULL setting does not attenuate any frequencies and is for full range speaker systems . The HPF
setting attenuates low frequencies and is used with mid-range speakers and tweeters .
7. Channel mode Switch (ST/4Ch)—Set the switch to 4CH if you are using four channel outputs from your head
unit to the FL, FR, RL, RR inputs on the amplifier . Set the switch to ST (stereo) mode if you are using two channel
outputs from your head unit . In the ST position, the amplifier will take the signal input to the FL and FR inputs

1. gNd (ground)—Connect this terminal directly to the metal chassis of the vehicle, using the shortest
wire necessary to make this connection. Always use wire of the same gauge or larger than the +12V power
wire . The chassis connection point should be scraped free of paint and dirt . Use only quality crimped and/or
soldered connectors at both ends of this wire . DO NOT connect this terminal directly to the vehicle battery
ground terminal or any other factory ground points .
2. rEm (remote Turn On)—This terminal turns on the amplifier when +12V is applied to it.
Connect it to the remote turn on lead of the head unit .
3. +12V Power—Connect this terminal through a FUSE or CIRCUIT BREAKER to the positive terminal
of the vehicle battery or the positive terminal of an isolated audio system battery .
WArNINg: Always protect this power wire by installing a fuse or circuit breaker of the appropriate
size within 12" of the battery terminal connection.

4. Fuse—These fuses (40A & 35A) protect the amplifier against internal electrical damage and are meant
to protect only the amplifier . All other power connections should be fused at the power source .
5. Speaker Output—Connect the speakers here
6. Terminal Adaptor—The adaptor enables the use of cable up to 0000AWG
