manual abstract
Short Circuit Protectio. The circuit protects the amplifier from damage due to a short found in the speakers or wiring. If one of the speakers or its wiring comes in contact with ground, the amplifier will shut down. To resume normal operation, correct the problem and turn the head unit off, then back on. The amplifier will reset and play again. Thermal Protectio. To protect the amplifier circuitry against damage caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures, a thermal protection circuit is activated if the amplifier reaches excessively high operating temperature. Once the thermal circuit is activated, the amplifier will shut down to cool off. The amplifier will automatically turn back on once it cools down to a safe operating temperature. Power Indicato. The diagnostic L.E.D. Illuminates green when the amplifier is on and receiving power. Tri Mode Capable (CSA50.2. If so desired, the amplifier may be run in stereo and mono at the same time. For example, this feature would allow you to run a pair of mid and tweeters in stereo and a sub-woofer mono (See Page 12). Built-in Crossove. The “CS”amplifiers include a built-in high and low pass crossovers. The crossover features a fixed frequency @ 200 Hz for precise high or low pass filtering. **Except CSA150.1 & CSA300.1 which has a variable 40 ~ 120Hz crossover. 3 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 Fusin. This protects the amplifier against short circuits and excessive current. Remote Turn-o. Automatically turns amplifier on when connected to the head unit's remote output. The amplifier will turn on and off with the head unit to save current consumption. This control also operates the reset circuit for the amplifier's protection. It must be connected with the head unit in order to reset protection circuits. Adjustable Input Sensitivit. Allows you to fine-tune the level matching between your source and the power amplifier. Stable To 2 Ohm Stereo Mod. Stability to 2 ohm in stereo mode, 4 ohms bridged. The CSA150.1 & CSA300.1 are stable to 2 ohms mono. 4 MOUNTING 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 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 have 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 amplifier. 5 INPUT CH1 CH2 CH4 CH3 FILTER LOW FLAT HIGH FILTER LOW FLAT HIGH LEVEL MIN MAX LEVEL MIN MAX POWER PROTECT POWER CONNECTIONS IMPORTANT! Before making any connections, disconnect the car’s battery until the installation is completed to avoid possible damage to the electrical system.

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 terminal on the amplifier marked +12V. Loosen screw terminal and connect bare wire and tighten. Use caution to make sure no stray wire stands come in contact with surrounding terminals causing short circuits. Run the wire directly to the ...
