Crossover Control

It is recommended that MID BASS/MIS/HI frequencies be set to a center position and that the SUB frequency be set around 60Hz. You are able to adjust each band independently to its own exact position but remember that the proper setting depends on the overall system itself and your own specific musical taste so you may need to find your own personal sweet spot for maximum enjoyment.

Set-Up and Adjustment

Gradually increase the source volume until clipping occurs.
Begin gradually increasing input gains until the distortion is audible then back down slightly

5. PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER CONTROLS – Controls the frequency response of the boost or cut with the 7 band controls – 50Hz, 125Hz, 315Hz, 750Hz, 2.2KHz, 6KHz, 16KHz

Installation

Set your source volume at 1/2 to 3/4 volume and leave it. Always use your volume as a master (main) volume control. It has better electronics, a higher S/N ratio, and is more linear than any source unit volume available. If engine noise is audible, raise the volume on the source unit and/or check the ground connection on the unit.
