FEATURES
- Variable input sensitivity: RCA input 0.2V to 3V.
- Thermal-, Overload- and Shortcircuit protection.
- European design and engineering.
MOUNTING
The enclosure has to have at least 5 cm (2″) ventilation space at all sides, to allow the heat to rise away from the amplifier. Be sure that the power and signal cables can enter the enclosure in a straight line, to avoid the risk of malfunction. Always place the power- and signal cables at opposite sides of the vehicle to reduce any noises. The amplifier should be protected from exposure to moisture and direct sunlight.
INSTALLATION
Remember to always disconnect battery ground before working on a vehicle’s electrical system! Always place a fuse or circuit breaker no more than 30 cm (12″) from the battery, no greater than the fuse(s) of your amplifier for optimal protection.
GETTING YOUR POWER STARTED
- First, the +12V terminal is connected directly to the battery of your car. Use a cable of at least 10 mm2, and make sure that the connectors are of the same value.
-Don’t forget the extra “Vehicle protection” fuse.
-The +12V terminal should NOT be connected to the car fuse box. - Second, the ground terminal (GND) must be fastened securely to the chassis of the vehicle with the same mm2 cable as the positive cable (the same amount of power has to run through it). Ensure that all paint, undercoating, or any other insulation is removed from the area where you want to make your ground connection to.
- Third, the last cable to connect is your remote turn-on (REM). Many radio cassettes and CD players have an output terminal for the connection of the REM of an amplifier. If you don’t have such an output, a separate switch must be installed to control your amplifier’s on/off function.
SIGNAL INPUT
The Caliber Amplifiers offer you two possibilities for your signal input.
- A High-Level input, using the loudspeaker output from your radio and the special High-Level input plug you found in the box.
- Signal input by using an RCA cable from your radio’s RCA outputs to the amplifier’s signal input RCA’s.
NEVER USE THE HI INPUT AND RCA INPUT AT THE SAME TIME!
RCA INPUT
- Connect the RCA outputs of your radio to the RCA input terminals of the amplifier. Take good care that you connect the Right output of your radio to the Right input of your amplifier, and that you connect the Left output of your radio to the Left input of your amplifier.
AMPLIFIER ADJUSTMENTS
- Put the input level adjustment knob to the minimum.
- Put the volume of your radio to 3/4 of the maximum.
- Now adjust the input level of the front channel. Slowly turn up the input level and listen carefully until you hear the amplifier begin to distort. A Caliber Amplifier “clips” very softly, so this can sometimes be a difficult adjustment.
