SPEAKER
Many new and factory radios require a reset code when
disconnected from battery power. This is an anti-theft feature.
Before unplugging power, you must determine if your radio/
source unit requires a reset code. Check the operation manual
for your vehicle or contact the dealer.
It is critical to use the proper power
and ground cable. Use the size listed
here for your amplifier model. Always
use high quality copper cable. Visit
our website for multi amp system
cable recommendations.

Play a clean musical selection of which you are very familiar. CD is preferred.
Do not use radio signals for level setting. Hit play and start turning the volume

Stop increasing the source unit volume when you reach 3/4 (about 75%) or until
you hear speakers begin to slightly start producing distortion.
5.
Increase the amplifier level (clockwise) until distortion is heard, then back
the level down (counter clockwise) until the distortion is eliminated. Small
adjustments may need to be made to balance the levels of multiple amplifiers.

bass, but if not adjusted correctly, it can be over used and cause damage to your
subwoofers and amplifiers. It is best to slowly turn this setting clockwise until the desired
bass impact is felt. It is not recommended to exceed the 12 o’clock position unless
listening at a low volume or a low recording quality as this can result in high distortion and
