4 CHANNEL STEREO MODE

INPUTS

Under the “INPUTS”, move the switch to either position of “2IN or 4IN” depending on how many inputs you are using to run the amp, 2 or 4.
If you are only using one single pair of RCA’s from your source, then plug them into the Channel 3+4 or (REAR) RCA inputs, and select “2IN”
If you are using the Harley Molex harness, then you are setting the switch to “2IN”

NOTE: FOR 2 CHANNEL INPUT USING THE RCA HARNESS (CH 1 & 2 INPUTS) OR THE HARLEY HARNESS WITHOUT FACTORY REAR SPEAKERS:
You will need to use the 4 inch patch harness. Set switch to 2 IN and use input Channels 3 & 4

NORMAL/BRIDGED

This switch should be set to “NORM”

SLOPE

You can select the crossover slope you want for both channels, either a 6db/octave slope or a 12db/octave slope.
12 db/octave is a sharper roll off slope, where the 6db/octave is more gradual roll off slope.

CHANNELS 1 & 2 CROSSOVER CONFIGURATION

Channels 1+2 can be run in either Full Range, or in High Pass (HP) mode, using the bottom row of controls. To run in Full Range mode, adjust the HP control down to the 10hz position.
To run in HP mode, adjust the HP control to your desired HP frequency.
Motorcycles normally use HP 120Hz.

CHANNELS 3 & 4 CROSSOVER CONFIGURATION

You can select between Full Range (FR), Low Pass (LP), High Pass (HP), or Band Pass (BP) mode, using the top row of controls.
For FR, set MODE switch to HP, and adjust the HP control down to 10hz.
For HP, set the MODE switch to HP, and adjust the HP control to set the HP frequency.
For LP, set the MODE switch to LP. Adjust the HP control down to 10hz. Then adjust LP control to set the LP frequency.
For BP, set the MODE switch to LP, and adjust the LP control to the desired LP frequency. Adjust the HP control to set HP frequency.
Motorcycles normally use HP 120Hz.

GAIN CONTROL

In this mode you will be using both gain controls to match your sources output level to your amplifiers input.

SPEAKER OUTPUTS

Following the wiring diagram in Figure 2B, wire your speakers to the appropriate output wires, respecting the channels, and the + and – phasing.

2 CHANNEL BRIDGED STEREO MODE

INPUTS

You only need to use Rear INPUT Channels 3+4.

NORMAL/BRIDGED

Set switch to “BRIDGED”

SLOPE

Using the “SLOPE” switch on the top, select 12db for your crossover slope.

CHANNELS 3 & 4 CROSSOVER CONFIGURATION

To adjust the crossovers, you will be looking at the controls on the top row. You will be able to choose from Full Range (FR), High Pass (HP), Low Pass (LP), and Band Pass (BP)
For FR, set MODE switch to HP, and adjust the HP control down to 10hz.
For HP, set the MODE switch to HP, and adjust the HP control to set the HP frequency.
For LP, set the MODE switch to LP. Adjust the HP control down to 10hz. Then adjust LP control to set the LP frequency.
For BP, set the MODE switch to LP, and adjust the LP control to the desired LP frequency. Adjust the HP control to set HP frequency.
Motorcycles normally use HP 120Hz.

GAIN CONTROL

In this mode you will be using the “LEVEL 3+4” gain control to match your sources output level to your amplifiers input.

SPEAKER OUTPUTS

Following the wiring diagram in Figure 3B, wire your speakers to the appropriate output wires, respecting the channels, and the + and – phasing.

3 CHANNEL STEREO & BRIDGED MONO MODE

INPUTS

When using 1 set of RCA inputs to run the 3 channels, you only need to use INPUT Channels 3+4. Then switch the “2IN 4IN” switch to “2IN”
If using 2 sets of RCA inputs to run this conﬁguration, you will switch the “2IN 4IN” switch to “4IN”

NORMAL/BRIDGED

Set switch to “NORM”

SLOPE

Using the “SLOPE” switch on the top, select 12db for your crossover slope.

CHANNELS 1 & 2 CROSSOVER CONFIGURATION

Channels 1+2 will be your HP Stereo channels.
Adjust Channel 1+2 HP control to approximately 120Hz.

CHANNELS 3 & 4 CROSSOVER CONFIGURATION

Channels 3+4 will be your LP Mono subwoofer channels
Adjust Channel 3+4 LP control to approximately 120Hz.
Adjust Channel 3+4 HP control to 10hz, unless you would like subsonic filter on your subwoofer. In this case, you can adjust the control within the 20-30hz range.

GAIN CONTROL

You will be using the “LEVEL 1+2” for your HP Stereo channels 1+2
You will be using the “LEVEL 3+4” gain control for your LP Mono Subwoofer Channels

SPEAKER OUTPUTS

Following the wiring diagram on the last page, wire your speakers to the appropriate output wires, respecting the channels, and the + and – phasing. See 4B.

TROUBLESHOOTING

FOCAL SIGN DOES NOT LIGHT

Measure the voltage at the amplifier power terminal.
It should be between 12 and 15 volts.
Measure the voltage at the amplifier REM terminal.
It should be between 12 and 15 volts.
Is the REM wire connected?
Check your power and ground connections to be correct polarity + and – and they are tight.
Check battery connections.
Check the fuse in the REM wire.
Check the 50 AMP fuse at battery.
Check fuses inside amplifier.
The fuses are inside the amp under he bottom panel.
The recommended ATC fuse size is two 25 amp.
To remove the bottom panel, turn amp upside down with the front panel facing you. Remove the 3 screws on the bottom panel and the 2 upper front side panel screws to expose the 2 fuses.

AMPLIFIER BLOWS FUSE WHEN YOU TURN IT ON

Power and ground may be reversed.
Check + and – polarity at ampliﬁer and at battery.

FOCAL SIGN IS FLASHING

Is the amp very hot?
Wait a few minutes for it to cool down.
You need to get more fresh cool air to the amplifier.
Do not cover the amplifier or mount it flush into a hole.
If the amp is cold and the Focal sign is flashing, there is an internal fault.
Start your trouble shooting by removing the speaker harness.
Use an ohm meter and measure the speaker wires for short circuit.

NO SOUND

Is the Focal sign light off or flashing?
Is the source radio on and is there a sound signal coming from the source radio?
Use an ohm meter and measure the speaker wires for short circuit.
Check connections for small “wire whisker” that may be shorting between amplifier terminals or speaker terminals.
Use an ohm meter and measure the speaker for short circuit.
Double check your connections to the source radio.
Are you using the correct source radio wires and are they plugged into the correct amplifier RCA?
Double check your connections to the speakers and speaker crossovers.
Check that all amplifier switches are in the correct positions for your speaker set up.
Check that HP & LP frequencies are set correctly for your speakers.
If little or no sound, make sure that you are NOT in BP (Band Pass) Mode, with the crossover points overlapping or HP/LP frequency reversed.
