" If you wish to use the internal crossover to power a driver of specific frequency range, use the "LOWPASS" or "HIGHPASS" settings. input level control use this control to match the outputs of your head unit to the amplifier. Starting with your head unit set at about the 2 o'clock position, increase the amp level control until distortion begins to occur, and reduce slightly from this point. low pass frequency control when the crossover selector switch is in "low pass" mode, this control sets the upper frequency limit for audio program sent to the speakers. high pass frequency control when the crossover selector switch is in "high pass" mode, this control sets the lower frequency limit for audio program sent to the speakers. bass boost level control this control permits adjustment of the bass level up to an increase of approximately 18 dB. low level inputs this amp features gold-plated RCA input jacks for high impedance input. Use these with car stereo output which uses RCA-type connector cables. high level inputs if your car stereo lacks RCA-type output jacks, you may connect speaker output leads to these input connectors. protection LED this indicator is illuminated when built-in protection circuitry is activated. Tighten the screws securely. blue wave PLA585R·PLA985R·PLAD215 mounting and installation wiring tips When making electrical connections to your amplifier, please observe the following: Use at least 8 gauge wire for power and ground connections. For the ground connection, use the shortest possible wire to a good chassis ground point. Wire the Remote connection to the auto start lead of your head unit, equalizer or power antenna. 21 fuses About power fuses: Pyle Blue Wave Series amplifiers feature built-in fuse systems. These fuses protect both the amplifier and the electrical system in your vehicle from fault conditions. If you ever need to replace the fuse in your Pyle Blue Wave Series amp, use a fuse of exactly the same type and rating. A different type or rating of fuse may result in damage or fire. protection circuitry The built-in protection circuitry in the Pyle Blue Wave amplifiers will disable the amplifier if it senses an input overload, a speaker short circuit, or extreme temperature conditions. When the protection circuit is activated by any of these conditions, the Protection LED will be illuminated. If this occurs, carefully inspect the system to determine the source of the problem. · If the shutdown was a result of a thermal overload condition, allow the amplifier to cool down before attempting to restart it. blue wave troubleshooting No output. Both the +12V and the Remote terminals must have +12v referenced to chassis ground. Confirm that the audio signal source (car radio, equalizer, etc. ) is connected and is supplying output signal. [. . . ] Briefly tap the center pin of each of the disconnected RCA plugs with your finger. Check the Balance control on the head unit (or other source) to verify that it is set to its midpoint. 22 · If the shutdown was a result of an input overload, or speaker short circuit, be sure to correct the condition before restarting. The amplifier can be restarted by turning the remote power OFF and then ON again. If you are using the Low Level RCA input, reverse the input plugs at the amplifier (i. e. , switch the L with the R). If the channels which is silent switches to the other side, the problem is either in the head unit/other source or the connecting cables. [. . . ]
