Power Input Connectors
• +12V: Connect to the positive terminal of the vehicle’s battery. 4 AWG wire is recommended. Install an appropriate fuse holder and fuse (75A minimum) within 18 inches of the battery. Make sure the wire is not damaged or pinched during installation. Install protective grommets when routing wires through the firewall or other sheet metal.
• GND: Connect to the vehicle’s chassis.

DBO (Dynamic Bass Optimization)
Variable Subsonic High-Pass Filter With Variable Boost (Q)
• For woofers in tuned (vented) enclosures, set the Frequency control to a value 10Hz below the enclosure’s resonance (tuned) frequency.
• For woofers in sealed boxes, set the control to any value you prefer between 30Hz and 50Hz.
• Set the Boost control according to your preference, being careful not to apply enough boost to damage your woofer(s). A DBO High-Pass Filter Frequency control, variable between 10Hz and 100Hz. B DBO Boost control provides up to 12dB of boost slightly above the high pass filter’s frequency.
• For woofers in tuned (vented) enclosures, set the Frequency control to a value 10Hz below the enclosure’s resonance (tuned) frequency.
• For woofers in sealed boxes, set the control to any value you prefer between 30Hz and 50Hz.
• Set the Boost control according to your preference, being careful not to apply enough boost to damage your woofer(s). A DBO High-Pass Filter Frequency control, variable between 10Hz and 100Hz. B DBO Boost control provides up to 12dB of boost slightly above the high pass filter’s frequency.
Setting Input Level
A Turn Input Level control counterclockwise to 6V (minimim).
B With a dynamic music track playing, turn the head unit’s volume control to the 3/4 position.
C Turn Input Level control clockwise until the bass output is proportionate to the output of the high-frequency speakers, according to your preference.
D Input level is now adjusted correctly.
