Find a location in which the amplifier will receive adequate ventilation in order to dissipate the heat it develops during operation. Two popular mounting locations ore in the trunk or under the seat. Select the location in which you wish to mount the amplifier. Use caution when mounting amplifier, there are many wires, gas lines, vacuum lines, brake lines as well as a gas tank in the automobile. Make sure you know where they are when mounting the amplifier to avoid puncturing lines, shorting wires or drilling holes in the gas tank. Once you are ready, use a pencil to mark the mounting holes in the bottom panel. After you hove marked the locations of the holes move amplifier out of the way and drill small starter holes to make the tapping screws easier to install. Use provided screws to tighten down the omplif ier. RADIO’S REMOTE TURN-ON OUT? IMPORTANT!

At times, the amplifier will need to draw lorge levels of current that cannot be provided by any circuit in the car’s fuse box. We recommended using on 4 to 10 gouge power wire for your connections depending on the amplifier and length of the wire. Strip one end of the wire to connect to the terminol on the amplifier marked +12V. Loosen screw terminal and connect bore wire and tighten. Use caution to make sure no stray wire stonds come in contact with surrounding terminals causing short circuits. Run the wire directly to the positive terminal of the car’s battery. Make sure to use on in-line fuse within 12” of the car’s battery to protect the electrical system and omplif ier against short circuits and/or power surges.

Run signal wires away from electrical wires to avoid possibility of induced noise from the car’s electrical system (i.e. popping noises or engine noise). Please note that when making these connections the signal inputs correspond with the speaker outputs.

If you wish to use multiple speakers to achieve a lower impedance and higher power, it is strongly recommended that you seek professional advice from your Profile retailer before attempting to make these connections.

(Please note: If you intend to use the amplifier in the Tri-mode configuration, it is necessary to set the crossover control to the”FULL” setting in order to receive full range output) The Clarus amplifiers are equipped with a built-in variable crossover network allowing you to select the crossover type (i.e. Low-Pass or Hi-Pass) and the desired crossover point. For example if you wish to drive a pair of subwoofers, you can select the “Low Pass” setting on the amplifier to filter out high frequencies. This will send only low frequencies to your subwoofers (see example settings below). The crossover point should be determined by the speakers operating range. Please refer to speaker manufactures recommended crossover point. Select the crossover type on the omplif iers side panel.

This gain control has been included to allow adjustment to properly match the CD output of the radio. This is one of the most misunderstood 0 adjustments. By rotating the control in the clockwise iin rd:x direction, the amplifier’s input will become more sensitive and the music will play louder. This is not a volume control and you will not get more power out of the amplifier in the maximum position! It may seem to deliver more output, but actually the system is only playing louder faster as you turn the volume control on the radio. Ideally, to properly level match the system the goal is to achieve maximum output from the amplifier without distortion at about 3/4 of the volume control. To determine if the amplifier’s gain is set properly, turn the system on and slowly increase the volume control. You should be able to use about 3/4 volume before the system gets loud but not distorting. It is very important when making these adjustments that you do not over drive If you thespeakers (at point of distortion) this will cause permanent damage to thespeakers. are unable to achieve 3/4 volume before distortion you will need to adjust gain control (in this case you would reduce the gain). The gain controls should be adjusted very slowly.
