Introduction

Read this manual before preparing the product. In case of doubt, contact our technical support: (18) 3266-4050 or www.taramps.com.br.
At the end of its useful life, this product must not be disposed of in household waste. Look for electronic equipment.

Safety requirements

To ensure proper use, please read through this manual before using the amplifier. It is especially important that you know the CAUTIONS contained here.

• The installation of this amplifier must be done by a qualified professional.
• Wear safety glasses, insulated gloves and correct tools for installing this product.
• This amplifier is for use with 12V batteries. Always check the voltage before installing.
• This amplifier must be installed in a firm place with at least 1″ space around the heatsink for proper heat spreading.
• Never install the amplifier in places exposed to dust, humidity, and water. Pay attention to install it far from the fuel tank, fuel lines, heat sources, and other parts of the vehicle.
• Be sure to install protection fuse or a circuit breaker near to battery. Follow the ampere rating as indicated here in this manual. Use of an improper fuse or circuit breaker could result in overheating, smoke, damage to the product, injury or burns.
• Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through car’s body.
• Before make any connection to the amplifier, disconnect the battery negative terminal.
• When in use, the external surface of may amplifier becomes hot. Avoid touching the heatsink area and keep children far from the amplifier.
• This amplifier may produce high sound pressure levels. Avoid continuous exposure to levels over 85dB to prevent permanent hearing loss.
• Output connections for speakers may have voltage levels when the amplifier is operating.
• Make sure that the amplifier is turned OFF before proceeding any connection or disconnection in these terminals.
• If you want to dispose of this amplifier, don’t throw it on domestic waste. It must be collected by a used electronic product disposal service for proper recycling.

Safety

As you read this manual, pay attention to the safety symbols.

CAUTION
This symbol with “CAUTION” is intended to alert the user to the presence of important instructions. Failure to heed the instructions will result in a risk of injury to the user or product damage.

Functions & inputs

1. INPUT (R and L): Signal inputs. Connect these signals to the head unit’s RCA outputs. Give preference to good quality shielded cables to avoid noise interference.

2. GAIN: Adjusts the input sensitivity of the amplifier, allowing a perfect adjustment to the output signal levels of various head units models on the market. It is possible to adjust from 4V (minimum sensitivity) to 0.2V (maximum sensitivity).

3. CROSSOVER
   HIGH PASS: Variable setting from 10Hz to 80Hz, which sets the beginning of the amplifier’s frequency response.
   LOW PASS: Variable setting from 80Hz to Full, which sets the end of the amplifier operating frequency.

4. BASS BOOST
   BOOST: An extra 50Hz boost for the bass with variable gain from 0 to +10dB.

5. MONITOR LEVEL REMOTE: Connection to an accessory, whose function is to control the gain and monitor the amplifier where all information from the indicator LEDs, such as distortion (CLIP/TEMP) and protection actuation (PROT), will be displayed simultaneously. (Accessory not included).

Output & power supply connector

1. FAN: This amplifier has an internal fan. For optimal operation, the amplifier should be installed in a dry and ventilated place, with at least 1″ (25mm) free space on each side. The normal working temperature of this amplifier is 65° C.
   CAUTION
   The fan and ventilation openings are responsible for cooling the amplifier when it is in use. Do not obstruct them.

2. SPEAKER: Output (positive and negative) to transducer connection (speakers). Follow the polarity described and the minimum impedance recommended To combine speakers, the resulting impedance has to be taken into consideration. Check out the models below:
   CAUTION
   Due to the presence of voltage at the output terminals when the product is turned on, avoid contact with them. Risk of electric shock.

3. POSITIVE POWER SUPPLY TERMINAL: Use a 4 AWG (21mm’) cable directly from the positive terminal of the fused battery (150A), as close to the battery as possible. REMOTE TERMINAL: The remote wire has to be connected to the remote terminal with a 0,75mm. (18 AWG) cable.

4. NEGATIVE POWER SUPPLY TERMINAL: A 4 AWG (21mm’) cable as short as possible
   should be used, and connected to the negative battery pole. It is recommended that all cables have tinned ends to improve electrical contact.

Color effects

Color palette (Configurable)

Types of Effect

Installation

CAUTION
All connections to power supply, input and output connectors must be carried out only with amplifier off.

Recommended wire gauge & fuse

Calculated considering a maximum length of 4m. For a distance greater than this, you will need to increase the cable gauges.

CAUTION
Using wire gauges below the recommendation will result in power loss and overheating of wiring.
Checkpolarity and never-reverse power supply cables due to the risk of damage to the amplifier. It is compulsory to install protection fuses or circuit breakers as close as possible to batteries.

Technical features

Amplifier consumption may vary depending on the effect used in the RGB LED. The value mentioned above is with the RGB LEDs turned off.
The values as above are typical and may vary, due to electronic components tolerance or manufacturing process.
