Manual for Safe Sound
Hopefully you’re reading this manual carefully, front to back, every
word. If so you’re probably wondering why you see so many warnings and
cautions. Is the
C2K 9.0XD dangerous? Only in the wrong hands! Read
this manual and follow the instructions and you will have many years of
outstanding performance.
Why all the warnings? The C2K 9.0XD can develop over 2,000 watts
RMS and can draw as much as 175 amps. How many speakers will
handle that kind of power? None, unless the enclosure is built to very
precise specifications. How many cars can deliver 175 amps of operating
current? None! If you are going to drive this amp to full power, you will
need to upgrade your electrical system. For these reasons, we highly
recommend that the amp be installed by a competent professional, familiar
with the amp and with this manual and with the speakers you are using.
However, the amp can be safely installed for basic operation by any
one, if the manual is thoroughly understood and carefully followed.
Please study the next few pages until you have a thorough understanding
of all the control functions and how they work and also the electrical and
speaker wiring. If you have any questions while reading the manual, feel
free to call our technical department at (800) 473-6723.
Once you feel comfortable with the control and hook-up basics, the
next section will take you through an initial startup procedure that will
safely get your system up and running and sounding like nothing you’ve
ever heard before.
In the final section, we will explain some optional pieces you can get
for the C2K 9.0XD and talk about some of the things you can do with the
9.0XD’s D.C.S. digital microprocessor system.
Thank you, and enjoy your amplifier.
