For power, rem ote and ground connec-  
tions, strip off one end of each jacket to  
reveal bare wire for insertion into the  
connectors. Connect a wire from the  
GND connector on the am plifier to the  
nearest bare-m etal chassis com ponent;  
scrape away the paint to ensure good  
conductivity. Next, connect a wire  
between the BATT term inal on the  
am plifier and the POS(+) term inal of the  
vehicles battery. Pass the wire through a  
factory-installed grom m et in the firewall,  
or install a grom m et if a factory grom -  
m et is not available. Connect a wire  
between the REM term inal of the am pli-  
fier and the “rem ote out” or power-  
antenna lead on the vehicles radio.  
Wiring the Speaker-Output  
Connections  
P80.2, P180.2, P80.4  
All the Power Series am plifiers will  
accept up to 8-gauge speaker wire.  
Connect the speakers, observing proper  
polarity, to the speaker-output connector.  
The total im pedance of the speaker  
system connected to the am plifier when  
the am plifier is driven in stereo m ust be  
at least two ohm s.  
If you are bridging the am plifier, connect  
the speaker wires to the term inals  
m arked “bridged,” observing proper  
polarity. The total im pedance of the  
speaker system connected to the am plifi-  
er m ust be at least four ohm s in bridged  
m ode.  
If you are running the am p in Tri-Mode  
(stereo and m ono sim ultaneously), con-  
nect the satellite speakers to the speaker  
connector as you would a pair of stereo  
speakers. Connect the subwoofer to the  
term inals m arked “bridged” Refer to the  
chart above to determ ine the capacitor  
and inductor values youll need to route  
bass signals to the woofer, and the  
m idrange and high frequencies to the  
satellite speakers. These passive  
BP150.1, BP300.1, BP600.1, BP1200.1  
Connect the woofers to the am plifier,  
observing proper polarity. Although  
these am plifiers have a single channel,  
duplicate positive and negative connec-  
tors are provided to facilitate the connec-  
tion of m ultiple woofers.  
The total im pedance of the speaker  
system connected to a BP Series  
am plifier m ust be at least 1 ohm .  
crossover com ponents will also ensure  
that the im pedance of the speaker sys-  
tem doesnt drop below two ohm s.

Wiring the Input-Signal  
Connections  
Connect a pair of signal cables with  
RCA-type ends between the connectors  
on the am plifier and the RCA-type signal  
connectors on the source unit. If your  
radio has only speaker-level outputs, you  
should connect them to the speaker-level  
input connectors, observing proper  
polarity. When using the speaker-level  
inputs, it is not necessary to connect a  
wire between the “rem ote” term inal of  
the am plifier and the “rem ote” lead from  
the source unit. The speaker-level inputs  
will sense voltage on the speaker  
outputs and turn the am plifier on  
autom atically.  
If you are installing a P80.4 am plifier and  
your source unit has only one pair of  
RCA-type output connectors and a pair  
of speaker-level outputs, you m ay  
connect the RCA outputs to a pair of  
am plifier input channels (front or rear),  
and the speaker-level outputs to the  
other pair of am plifier input channels.  
Setting Input Level  
Initially, turn the input-sensitivity LEVEL  
control to its m axim um (counter-clock-  
wise) position. Turn on the source unit  
and increase the volum e control until it  
is approxim ately three-quarters of m axi-  
m um -output level. Slowly increase the  
input LEVEL control (clockwise) while lis-  
tening to the quality of the reproduced  
sound. When you hear distortion on the  
m usic peaks, turn the LEVEL control  
back slightly. This is the m axim um  
undistorted output level of your system .  
Turning the LEVEL control up farther  
WILL NOT INCREASETHE OUTPUT  
POWER OFYOUR AMPLIFIER! It will  
only decrease the am ount of volum e-  
control rotation before the am p is at full-  
output power. It will also increase the  
am ount of extraneous noise present in  
your system .  
The BP150.1, BP300.1, BP600.1 and  
BP1200.1 are designed to provide con-  
stant bass regardless of the position of  
the source units front-to-rear fader posi-  
tion. Use of this feature requires that all  
four inputs are connected to the source  
unit as labeled on the am plifier (front,  
rear, right and left). If your source unit  
has only one pair of RCA-type output  
connectors and a pair of speaker-level  
outputs, you m ay connect the RCA out-  
puts to a pair of am plifier input channels  
(front or rear), and the speaker level out-  
puts to the other pair of am plifier input  
channels. If nonfading bass is not im por-  
tant in your system , connect a pair of  
inputs, either speaker-level or RCA-type,  
to either the front or rear input connec-  
tors on the am plifier.  
System Setup and Adjustm ent  
Refer to figures 1–6 for location of  
adjustm ent switches and controls.  
Electronic Crossover and Bass Boost  
P80.1, P80.4, P180.2  
The electronic crossover can be selected  
as a 12dB/oct. high-pass filter (HPF)  
12dB/oct. low-pass filter (LPF) or it  
can be defeated (FLAT). The crossover  
frequency can be set at any frequency  
between 32Hz and 320Hz.  
BP150.1, BP300.1, BP600.1, BP1200.1  
These am plifiers are designed to  
drive subwoofers. Consequently, the  
electronic crossover is a 12dB/oct.  
low-pass filter which can be set at any  
frequency between 32Hz and 320Hz.  
The bass boost control will provide up  
to 6dB of boost at 50Hz.
