SINGLE AMPLIFIER SYSTEMS
The objective behind a single amplifier system is simplicity.
By choosing this route the installer can run minimum components and achieve excellent sound quality. A single
two channel amplifier will drive both the mid bass and tweeters; eliminating the need for an additional amplifier and
installation time, thus reducing the cost.

1. The amplifier will need to be connected to either the crossover mid-bass input (TIN) or the midbass input (WIN).
2. The internal switch will need to be set to single amp.
3. Connect the crossover mid-bass output to the mid-bass driver.
4. Connect the crossover tweeter output to the tweeter.

4. Connect the crossover tweeter output to the tweeter.
5.
The internal jumpers control the tweeters output level. With 3 selectable jumpers we have the options of -
1db, -2db,
and -3db.
These can be added together so you will have up to
-6db
. If you want
-4db
as an example, you would
turn on the
-1db & -3db
which will give you
-4db
of tweeter attenuation.
BI-AMPLIFIED SYSTEM
The objective behind a dual amplifier system is added tuning flexibility.
By choosing this route the installer can use two amplifiers or a single four-channel amplifier to achieve improved sound
quality. Each driver will have its own amplifier channel, the mid-bass and tweeter levels may be easily adjusted at the
amplifier. Increased sound quality may be achieved by supplying each driver with the proper amount of power.

1. The mid-bass amplifier output will connect to the crossover mid-bass input. (WIN)
2. The tweeter amplifier output will connect the crossover tweeter input. (TIN)
3. The internal switch must be set to bi-amp.
4. Connect the crossover mid-bass output to the mid-bass speaker.
5. Connect the crossover tweeter output to the tweeter.
6. Adjust the tweeter and mid-bass levels at the amplifier.
7. The crossover tweeter level jumpers should remain in the off settings.

BI-AMPLIFIED SYSTEM
WITHOUT USING THE PASSIVE CROSSOVER
This setup will allow the maximum flexibility for tuning and sound quality. Each driver will have its own amplifier channel:
the mid-bass and tweeter levels may be independently adjusted easily at the amplifier. Crossover points may be
adjusted to maximize vehicle/speaker interaction.

ELECTRONIC FILTERING MUST BE USED TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE SPEAKERS!
We recommend the use of a 2500hz or higher/-12db per octave high-pass filter for the tweeter. The mid-bass may
be crossed over according to the listener/installers desires, but starting at the same frequency as the tweeter is a
recommended starting point. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT WHEN TWEETERS ARE USED WITHOUT THE
SUPPLIED PASSIVE CROSSOVER, A 30uf POLYPROPYLENE CAPACITOR MUST BE PLACED IN LINE WITH THE
TWEETER TO AVOID DAMAGE FROM AMPLIFER DC OFFSET!
