" If you wish to use the internal crossovers to power a driver of specific frequency range, use the "LOWPASS" or "HIGHPASS" settings. use these controls to match the outputs of your head unit to the amplifier. Starting with your head unit set at about the 2 o'clock position, increase the amp level controls until distortion begins to occur, and reduce slightly from this point.

When determining a suitable location in your vehicle for the amp, please remember that it is a high-power electronic device capable of generating high heat. For this reason, always choose a location in your vehicle which has low vibration, adequate ventilation, a minimum of dust, and no moisture. Be sure to mount the amp in such a manner as to allow reasonable airflow over the cooling fins. Mark the location for the mounting screw holes by positioning the amp where you wish to install it and use a scribe (or one of the mounting screws) inserted in each of the mounting holes to mark the mounting surface. If the mounting surface is carpeted, measure the hole centers and mark with a felt tip pen. Before attempting to drill the mounting holes, take note of any wires, lines or other devices in your vehicle which may be located behind the mounting surface!Then drill pilot holes in the mounting surface for the mounting screws and insert them. Tighten the screws securely. wiring tips 23 When making electrical connections to your amplifier, please observe the following: Use at least 8 gauge wire for power and ground connections. For the ground connection, use the shortest possible wire to a good chassis ground point. Wire the Remote connection to the auto start lead of your head unit, equalizer or power antenna. fuses About power fuses: Pyramid Royal Blue Series amplifiers feature built-in fuse systems. [. . . ] Confirm that your head unit or other equipment is turned off while connecting the input jacks and speaker terminals. If you need to replace the power fuse, do so only with a fuse identical to that supplied with the amplifier. Using a fuse of a different type or rating may result in damage that isn't covered in the manufacturer's warranty. 4 ohm 4 ohm notes STOP 4 ohm 4 ohm 2 -c hannel A m p l i f i e r (Operating in Stereo) 2 -c hannel A m p l i f i e r (Operating in Bridged Mono) YES! 4 ohm NO! 4 ohm Two 4-ohm speakers, wired in stereo, will present a 4-ohm load to each channel of the amplifier.
