S AFETY PRECAUTIONS Fuse amplifiers power wire at the battery. Be sure to fuse the power wire within 12” of the car's battery. This will protect the car's battery in case of a short circuit between the power amplifier and battery. THIS IS A MUST, the amplifier's built-in fuse will only protect the power amplifier not the car's[...]

F EATURES AND BENEFITS DC Offset Protection This circuit protects the output of the amplifier against DC voltage. If for some reason DC voltage is detected at the output stage, the amplifier will shut down protecting the speakers from direct current. Short Circuit Protection The circuit protects the amplifier from damage due to a short found in the[...]

Bass Boost (CSA150.1 & CSA300.1 Only) For added low frequency performance the amplifiers are equipped with a variable 0~12 dB bass boost @ 45Hz. Line Out (CSA150.1 & CSA300.1 Only) One set of full range line outputs have been provided for convenient connection to additional amplifiers in the system. Power Fusing This protects the amplifier [...]

M OUNTING LOCATION Before you start the installation, it will be necessary to find a mounting location for the amplifier. 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 are in the trunk or under the seat. Select the location in whic[...]

P OWER CONNECTIONS IMPORTANT! Before making any connections, disconnect the car’s battery until the installation is completed to avoid possible damage to the electrical system.

Connect the amplifier to the car's battery. At times, the amplifier will need to draw large levels of current that cannot be provided by any circuit in the car's fuse box. We recommended using an 4 to 8 gauge power wire for your connections depending on the amplifier and length of the wire. Strip one end of the wire to connect to the term[...]

8 S IGNAL CONNECTIONS Connect the RCA output of the head unit (AM/FM cassette player, CD, or DAT) to the RCA input terminals of the amplifier. To make these connections, we recommend high quality RCA cables, which are available at your local car audio retailer. Run signal wires away from electrical wires to avoid possibility of induced noise from t[...]

Make the speaker connections using speaker wire that is at least 16 gauge or heavier. As with any audio component, proper phasing of the amplifier and speakers is essential for strong bass response. When connecting, make sure that positive (+) from the amplifier is connected to the positive (+) of the speaker, and the same for negative (-). S PEAKE[...]

This feature allows you the flexibility of using the amplifier to drive a ** subwoofer or a center channel. In this configuration the ampl[...]

CAUTION! In Tri- mode operation, the amplifier must see a 2 Ohm load or higher for the stereo satellites and no lower than 4 Ohms for the subwoofer(s). Any lower than the above mentioned impedance will cause the amplifier to overheat and possibly cause permanent damage to the amplifier. S PEAKER CONNECTIONS (TRI-MODE) 12 The amplifier is capable of[...]

R EMOTE BASS CONTROL MODULE (CSA300.1 OPTIONAL) Before connecting the remote, it will be necessary to find a mounting location that will be easy to access for adjustment. Once you select your mounting location, you will need to run the control wire from the remote to the amplifier. To avoid possibility of induced noise from the car's electrica[...]

. (Please note: If you intend to use the CSA50.2 in the Tri-mode configuration, it is necessary to set the crossover control to the “FLAT” setting in order to receive full range output) The “CS” amplifiers are equipped with a built-in crossover network allowing you to select the crossover type (i.e. Low-Pass or Hi-Pass) and the desired cros[...]

T ROUBLE SHOOTING THE SYSTEM We have put together this trouble-shooting guide if you experience problems after installing the amplifier. Please keep in mind that the majority of problems incurred are caused by improper installation and not the equipment itself. In addition, there are many components in the system that could cause various signal pro[...]
