SAFETY
PLAY LOUD & SAFE. Before installing your MAD A1 series amplifier, make sure
that you read through the manual thoroughly and follow the instructions. Save
the manual for future usage and reference! Make sure to pay attention to the
instructions when you see this symbol: Make sure that your vehicle has a 12
VDC voltage negative ground system, that it can handle an increased power
consumption, and that both the alternator and the power source are healthy and
up to the task. Don’t install the amplifier inside the engine compartment or
any other surface that may be compromised by water or dirt. Your amplifier
will produce heat so make sure it’ll have sufficient air circulation (4-5cm
open space on all sides). Keep the cables inside the vehicle separate from
sharp edges or components that may be affected or take damage. Follow the
recommended cable sizes and always use high quality cables and accessories.
Even if you are eager to put the amplifier to use take no shortcuts when
installing the cables, make sure that all connectors are protected and
secured, and take your time finding the perfect grounding point. Don’t drill
any holes without checking what lies beneath, and don’t cut anything without
making sure that no important components risk being damaged. There’s a first
time for everything, if you need help – ask a friend or contact your local GAS
AUDIO POWER dealer/installer. We want you to experience your product’s MAD
sound, but we don’t want you to injure yourself or others. Use common sense,
respect high pressure levels and volume, and follow your local laws and
regulations.

HOW TO
A well-built sound system will set you aside from the rest and elevate your
vehicle! It’s important that you carefully read the instructions on the
following pages. This is to make sure that you install and use the amplifier
correctly, so your system is as LOUD as possible!
INSTALL AMPLIFIER
Make sure your vehicle is up to task. You need a 12VDC negative ground
electric system and the power source and the alternator should be fully
functional and healthy.
Better safe than sorry! Find a location that has a normal temperature and is
safe from rain, excessive moisture and dirt when you’re going to install your
amplifier.
Disconnect and secure the negative terminal from your power source to eliminate the risk of damaging yourself or the products. Place the negative terminal in a secure position so that it won’t accidentaly contact the positive or the negative power source post.
Have all the necessary tools ready and close at hand. Make sure that the needed wiring accessories are prepared. Your wiring kit should be of the recommended size depending on the specific amplifier (see the SPECIFICATION chapter).

HOW TO
It’s time to find the perfect location to place your amplifier! Since the
amplifier produces heat you don´t want to install it where it might get
overheated. Find a place where air can circulate around it to stay cool. Also
leave enough space so it´s easy to connect your cables and reach for the
controls. Don´t bolt the amplifier to your vehicle chassis (if this is your
only option, you need to isolate the amplifier from the screws). Find the best
way to run the cables through your vehicle! This might take some time, and may
vary between different models. Preferably the cables shouldn’t be visible when
you’re finished and they shouldn’t be placed in a way that they obstruct any
of the vehicle’s functions or hinder you from operating the vehicle safely.
It’s also important you don’t run the power cable together with the signal
cable, since this can cause interference. Grounding is ESSENTIAL! The ground
cable must be in direct connection with the vehicle’s metal frame. So take
your time finding the perfect bolt or area for this. There should be no paint
or dirt preventing a clean connection, so scrape down the area where the ring
terminal touches/is in contact with the frame. Connect the power cable to the
positive power source terminal, preferably together with the vehicle +12V
cable. A fuse holder needs to be placed on the cable at a 15-25 cm distance
from the terminal and before any steel parts. WARNING! Install the fuses as
the absolute final step when the rest of the installation is complete. The
next step is to run a remote wire from your head unit to the amplifier,
preferably together with the power cable (see illustration below). Use a
separate 14-18 AWG wire for the remote signal. You also need a high quality
RCA signal cable. To make sure there’s no interference, the RCA cable should
be run as far away from the power cables as possible, preferably on the
opposite side of the vehicle (see illustration below).

HOW TO
If you don’t have any RCA outputs on your head unit you can use the high level input function.
Use the included HI input cable. This will connect the speaker output of the head unit directly to the amplifier.

We’re almost there! Are you ready? When all cables have been installed with fork terminals and secured with cable ties and wire looms, you’re ready to start up your system.
Follow the instructions on your amplifier and/or in the manual to make sure
that each
cable is connected to the correct output and input. WARNING! Make sure that
any Bass EQ function is set to a minimum, that the level/gain is set to a
minimum and all crossovers are turned off/set to default.
Install the fuses in the fuse holder and reconnect the negative power source
terminal. Be prepared to disarm your vehicle’s alarm and to enter your
radio/source unit code.
14
HOW TO
Time to test it out! Turn the ignition on your vehicle and turn the
source/head unit on. Make sure that the amplifier’s power indicator is on and
shows that there’s power coming all the way through, if not turn the head
unit off, the ignition off, disconnect the negative power source terminal and
re-check all your connections. One last thing… We know you are ready to show
off your upgraded sound system to the world, but before you reattach all
panels and put the head unit back in place, do a final check. Make sure that
all the speakers have a signal by playing some really good music, turning the
head unit volume up just a bit, and just slightly turning the level/gain on
the amplifier. WARNING! Do not turn the level/gain more than to just hear the
music (read through the HOW TO-section on setting the level/gain before
further use).
15
HOW TO
CONNECT SPEAKERS
Make sure you got everything you need when connecting your subwoofers/speakers
to your sound system’s new powerhouse. Depending on what amplifier you have,
and what type of speaker you want to connect, there are a few different ways
to make the right connections.
Make sure to have the correct load on your amplifier, going below specified
impedance will damage your amplifier. Usually you can find the speaker’s
impedance in their manual.

HOW TO
TWEAKING & SETTINGS
The devil is in the details. Tweak the settings on your MAD amplifier using
the following recommendations and cross the line that separates the average
user from the hardcore high-power audio junkie!
LEVEL (GAIN)
Remember that the level/gain setting is not a volume control! It’s there to
let you sync your head unit’s output signal with the amplifier.
Every sound system is different, and there are several ways to set the
amplifier level/gain. To get started you can use your own senses and audio
skills by following the instructions below. On the following page we also tell
you how to set the level/gain with an oscilloscope. Use your own senses and
audio skills If you are planning to set the level/gain by hand, do so in a
quiet environment. The more experience you have in making this sort of
settings, the easier it is to get a good result. If you haven’t done this
before, a tip is to ask a friend to help you out.
· Set the level/gain to minimum. · Set the volume on your head unit to 75%. ·
Start to play your favourite track that you are really familiar with and knows
the sound of
by heart, or use the test tones on a sine-wave test CD or digital test track.
· Slowly start to increase the level/gain. · When you see the orange clip LED
turn on and start flickering you will hear that the sound
starts to change and you can note distortion. Stop the level/gain adjustment
and turn the level/gain down slightly until the clip LED turns off. · You have
now set the level/gain on your amplifier correctly.
18
HOW TO
Use an oscilloscope for high precision result When you are setting the
level/gain on your amplifier with an oscilloscope you are measuring the output
power of the amplifier. WARNING! Make sure that the positive speaker cable is
removed from the amplifier.
Set the level/gain to minimum. Start a CD/digital sine-wave test track with
your head unit’s volume level at 75% and set the oscilloscope to AC Volts.
Connect the test probes on the amplifier’s speaker terminals. When you’re
connected, you will see soundwaves on the oscilloscope. The soundwaves should
be moving in a steady pattern with smooth tops and bottoms.
While observing the oscilloscope, start to slowly increase the level/gain
until you start to see irregulations in the soundwaves. When the waveform is
starting to look squared, turn down the level/gain until the waveform is back
to smooth curves (see the graphics below).
GOOD WAVEFORM
BAD WAVEFORM
Remember if you use your BASS EQ or any other sort of amplitude enhancement functions after setting the level/gain, you will have to do it all over again!
19
HOW TO
CROSSOVER
Example: A1-70.2
The crossovers are used to regulate the maximum and minimum frequencies each speaker is allowed to reproduce. The first thing you need to do is to find out the frequency response of each speaker you wish to connect to the amplifier. Don’t allow the filters to pass through lower- or higher frequencies than your speakers can handle.
The different frequency bands reproduce different types of sound:
HZ
Band Type
20-40 40-80 80-160 160-320 320-640 640-1280 1280-2560 2560-5120 5120-10200 10200-20400
Low Mid Upper Lower Middle Upper
Lower
bass bass bass midrange midrange midrange treble
Middle treble
Upper treble
Top octave
MODE: Choose which mode the amplifier should use. HPF = High-pass filter mode,
FULL = Fullrange mode (no filters are used) or LPF = Combined High/Low-pass
filter mode.
High-Pass Filter (HPF): 50Hz-4000Hz variable, no frequencies below the chosen
frequency cut point are allowed to pass through to a speaker/subwoofer.
Low-Pass Filter (LPF): 50Hz- 4000Hz variable, no frequencies above the chosen
frequency cut point are allowed to pass through to a speaker/subwoofer.
The MAD A1 amplifiers are designed to offer you the option to either connect
them to a subwoofer or to full range speakers/midrange drivers. The built-in
crossovers need to be set correctly depending on type what type of setup you
are going to apply. On the following page we show the most common settings to
use on your amplifier.
If you want more help/guidance in how to use the filter settings, consult your
local GAS CAR AUDIO dealer.
20
HOW TO
SUBWOOFER: MIDBASS/MIDRANGE DRIVER: TWEETER:
Set the the LPF dial to 80Hz and the switch to LPF mode, this gives you a good
starting point for tweaking and finding the desired crossover points. All
crossovers has a 12dB octave slope, so if you for an example turn the HPF dial
to 80 Hz the sound will be 12db lower at 40Hz. The same if you turn the LPF
dial to 80Hz the level will be 12db lower at 160Hz and so on.
Set the HPF dial to 80Hz the switch to HPF mode. This way your
midbass/midrange will play from 80Hz to 4KHZ. Depending on the specification
of the speaker, you need to adjust HPF to match your speakers performance.
Usually a high pass crossover frequency between 80-150Hz sounds the best, but
it depends on speaker size, location and if a subwoofer is included in the
sound system.
Set the HPF dial to 4KHz and the switch to HPF mode. This way your connected
tweeter will play frequencies above 4KHz. Check the specifications of you
tweeter if lower crossover point is recommended. If not leave the dial in 4KHz
position. WARNING! Lowering the crossover frequency can damage your tweeters
permanently.
COAXIAL SPEAKER / SPEAKER WITH PASSIVE CROSSOVER:
Set the HPF dial to 50Hz and the switch to HPF mode. Turn the HPF dial up so
you can hear that the speaker doesn´t play the lowest notes. Adjust the dial
down to where you can hear good music /bass coming from your speakers without
hearing distortion. Usually a high pass crossover frequency between 50-100Hz
sounds the best, but it depends on factors such as speaker size, location and
if a subwoofer is included in the sound system.
FULL RANGE SIGNAL:
Set the switch to FULL mode. This setting will disconnect all crossover
settings in the amplifier. Use this setting only if you have passive
crossover, separate active crossover or DSP unit with crossover.
21
Example: A1-70.2
HOW TO
BASS EQ
If everything is tuned correctly and the level/gain has been set, the BASS EQ
should remain in default (0dB). This function will apply level/gain at 45Hz
centre frequency. Be adviced that equing the bass from 0-12 dB is a lot, an
increase of +3dB doubles the output! If used incorrectly, this can permanently
damage your subwoofer. WARNING! The information below is for experienced users
and bass addicts only, if you are new to the wonderful world of low
frequencies, leave the BASS EQ in default mode or consult with your local GAS
AUDIO POWER dealer. If you use the BASS EQ, make sure to turn down your
level/gain first (to 0) before you start adjusting it. Start a music track and
very carefully turn the EQ dial up until you start hearing distortion, then
follow the HOW TO chapter about level/gain to optimize your system.
Incorrect usage of the BASS EQ can permanently damage your subwoofers.
22
TROUBLESHOOTING
NO POWER
Use a multimeter to measure the voltage on the +12V terminal and the remote
signal terminal. Use a multimeter to make sure that you have a negative ground
connection. Check the built-in fuse (if there’s one) on the amplifier. If
there’s no power coming through Control the power cable’s fuse, if it is
intact – make a full check of the wiring to ensure cable integrity. When all
of the above has been tested/looked over, and all is as it should be but
there’s still no power coming through to the amplifier, consult your local GAS
AUDIO POWER dealer.
NO SOUND
Check your head unit to make sure no settings are limiting the amplifier
functions. Check all signal cables. Check all speaker cables. Check all
speakers. When all of the above has been tested/looked over, and all is as it
should be but there’s still no sound, consult your local GAS AUDIO POWER
dealer.
UNWANTED NOISE
Check your negative grounding point and make sure that the surface is clean
(consult the HOW TO instructions). Make sure that your signal cables or
speaker cables are not too close to the power cables. Look over your wiring so
there’s no damage or connection issue.
DISTORTION
Check the speaker cables to make sure that the polarity isn’t reversed on one
channel. Check the settings on the amplifier, make sure that the level/gain is
set according to the instructions. Lower/turn off bass EQ function on the
amplifier if used. Check subwoofers.
PROTECTION
Check all speakers and make sure that no leads or voice coils are damaged.
Make sure all connections are made as they should be and that no leads touch
the amplifier chassis.
The amplifier will go into protection if it’s overheated. As soon as the
normal operating temperature is back it will automatically turn back on. To
prevent the amplifier from overheating, make sure to follow the HOW TO
installation instructions and leave enough space around the amplifier so that
the airflow is optimized.
The protection mode is activated if the impedance load’s lower than the
amplifier limitations. If the input voltage is lower or higher than the
amplifier limited range the amplifier will go into protection. When all of the
above has been tested/looked over, and all is as it should be but the
amplifier is still in protection mode, consult your local GAS AUDIO POWER
dealer.
