Back the volume down just a bit. On the amplifier, slowly turn up the input level control (clockwise or to the right) until you just start to hear distortion, then back it down a bit. Now your radio and amplifier levels are matched. BASS EQ The Bass EQ is continuously adjustable from 0 to +12dB @ 45Hz. Adjusting the Bass Boost level allows different subwoofer/enclosure combinations to be equalized. Use this control to increase the level of low bass available from your subwoofer/ enclosure combin

These new standards give all participating manufacturers (and many don't participate) a baseline when comparing amplifiers of similar power output. The CEA Power rating protects you, the customer. « Power is power - it doesn't matter who makes it,” is not always true. What does matter is whether the power can be produced in the first place. The RMS rating is the true power you are getting. At Jensen, to be fair to you and to the competition, we rate our amps in the two most popular ratings, incl

NOTE: Check your vehicle's owners manual before disconnecting the battery. Disconnecting the battery in some vehicles may require an anti-theft code when reconnecting for stereo operation. Some vehicles may run rough after reconnecting the battery and require service to have the on-board computer reset. Check with your local dealer if you are uncertain. 2.
