SAFETY
NO COMPROMISES! Especially when it comes to safety. Before installing your MAX
PA1 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 products to the MAX, 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, for the true MAX EXPERIENCE!
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
Use the right speaker cable for the job! Make sure to use the recommended
size, and follow the polarity of the speaker wire from the speaker to the
amplifier.

HOW TO
We’re almost there! Are you ready? When all cables have been installed 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.
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).

HOW TO
CONNECT SPEAKERS
Make sure you got everything you need when connecting your subwoofers/speakers
to your sound system’s new powerhouse. Go for the classical setup and connect
a great subwoofer to your amplifier, or go the extra mile with TWICE the bass
and performance of your sound system by connecting two subwoofers to your
amplifier!
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.
DUAL TERMINAL MONO AMPLIFIER
(NOTE: Both the negative and positive speaker output terminals are internally
connected in parallel, so either wiring setup can be used.) Single
woofer/speaker (total impedance minimum 1 or 2 Ohm based on model):
Dual woofers/speakers (total impedance minimum 1 or 2 Ohm based on model):
Make sure you use the right ohm load based on which PA1 model you ‘ve
purchased (check the side panel).

Example: PA1-3000.1DZ1
HOW TO
TWEAKING & SETTINGS
The devil is in the details. Tweak the settings on your MAX 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. · Make sure that your Bass EQ and other EQs
are set to Zero/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 yellow LED
indicator 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.
16
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!
17
Example: PA1-3000.1DZ1
HOW TO
BASS REMOTE
With the MAX PA1-3000.1DZ1 / PA1-3000.1DZ2 amplifier, we have included an
awesome bass remote. The included bass remote control makes it possible for
you to fine tune the level of bass from the front seat while listening to your
favorite song.
The max level will be determined by how the level/gain knob was set on the
amplifier in the previous stage. It´s therefore very important to set
level/gain control at the correct level without the LED clip glowing yellow or
start flickering. You can also turn it all the way down to minimum if you want
to reduce the level of bass output to minimum. When you are setting the
level/gain on your amplifier, make sure that the bass remote knob is
positioned on MAX. This bass remote can´t increase the level above the maximum
level/gain setting on the amplifier. It´s a useful tool to lower the gain
and/or turn it back up to fine tune your listening experience.
Always make sure that your full concentration is on the road while you drive.
Do not make detailed adjustments on the bass remote’s setting while driving.
18
HOW TO
CROSSOVER
Example: PA1-3000.1DZ1
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 subwoofer/speaker you wish to connect to the amplifier. Don’t allow the filters to pass through lower- or higher frequencies than your subwoofers/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
High-Pass Filter (HPF): 15Hz-80Hz variable, no frequencies below the chosen frequency cut point are allowed to pass through to a speaker/subwoofer.
Low-Pass Filter (LPF): 50Hz- 22000Hz variable, no frequencies above the chosen frequency cut point are allowed to pass through to a speaker/subwoofer.
Band-Pass Filter (BPF): 15Hz- 22000Hz variable, by combinding HFP and LFP a Band-pass filter is created. Only frequencies between the chosen frequencies will pass through.
Hint! MAX PA1-3000.1DZ1/PA1-3000.1DZ2 has HPF/LPF crossovers with 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.
The MAX PA1 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 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.
19
HOW TO
SUBWOOFER:
Set the HPF dial to 15Hz and the LPF dial to 80Hz, this gives you a good
starting point for tweaking and finding the desired crossover points.
(The HPF can be used as a Subsonic filter. If you set the frequency dial at
30Hz, frequencies below will be attenuated by 12db per octave. That means that
the level of the subwoofer will be 12dB lower at 30Hz compared to 60Hz)
MIDWOOFER/MIDRANGE DRIVER:
Set the HPF dial to 15Hz and the LPF dial to 4KHz. This way your connected
midwoofer/ midrange will play from 15Hz to 4KHZ. Depending on the
specification of the connected speaker you need to adjust both HPF and LPF to
match your speakers performance (Band- Pass Filter).
COAXIAL SPEAKER / SPEAKER WITH PASSIVE CROSSOVER:
Set the HPF dial to 15Hz and the LPF dial to 22KHz. 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 40-80Hz
sounds the best, but it depends on factors such as speaker size, location and
if a subwoofer’s connected.
20
Example: PA1-3000.1DZ1
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 between
35Hz-70Hz. 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 speakers/subwoofers. 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 setting 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 0db) before you start adjusting it. Start a music track
and very carefully turn the dB 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
speakers/subwoofers.
21
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.
