USING THE FREQUENCY CROSSOVER

To use the amplifier’s crossover function with a subwoofer, push in

X-OVER FREQ

to

On

. To use the amplifier without a subwoofer, push and release

X-OVER FREQ

Off.

X-OVER FREQ Control

When you

push in

X-OVER FREQ

to

On,

the

X-OVER FREQ 45 Hz/400 Hz

lets you adjust

the crossover frequency from 45 Hz to 400
Hz for Channels 3 and 4 so you can adjust
the sound to compensate for your vehicle’s
acoustics.

Note: Since this only controls the 45–400
Hz frequencies, this control is useful only
for subwoofers and not your main speak-
ers.
