It is recommended to connect your amplifier in the following
sequence:
1
Make sure your head-unit is turned off and the volume control
is in its minimum position .
2
RCA outputs of your head-unit to respective RCA inputs of your
amplifier .
Sub pre-outs from head-unit should be fullrange signals because
lowpass pre-out signals always affect the filtering electronics of
amplifier! In case of doubt just 'double' a fullrange front or rear pre-
out by using Y-adaptors .
