INTRODUCTION

Power Acoustik amplifiers provide high-performance sound reinforcement for yourmobile audio equipment. Its versatility enables compatibility with optional Equalizers,

Frequency Dividing Crossover Networks, and other audio processors in a customizedsystem. The M ulti-Mode b ridg ing c apab ilities a llow flexib ility in hosting several d ifferentspea ker configurations.

To a c hieve op timum pe rforma nc e, it is highly rec om mend ed that you rea d thisOwners Manual before beginning installation.

WARNING

High powered audio systems in a vehicle are capable of generating "Live Concert"high levels of sound pressure. Continued exposure to excessively high volume soundlevels may cause hearing loss or damage. Also, operation of a motor vehicle while

listening to audio equipment at high volume levels may impair your ability to hearexternal sounds such as; horns, warning signals, or emergency vehicles, thus

contributing to a potential traffic hazard. In the interest of safety, Power Acoustikrec om me nd s listening a t lower volume leve ls while d riving.
