Finally, connect the main +12 volt cable to the battery, with the main fuse removed, and we are almost ready to power up the system. Power up the system: The following procedure may seem like overkill, but there is nothing more frustrating when turning on a system for the first time, and it does not work properly immediately. First, make sure the head unit is off, and turn all level controls to minimum (counterclockwise), including the head unit volume control. Set all equalizers to 0 dB (no boo

The system sound level will of course be very low, and the following procedures will help you to match the amplifier input sensitivities properly to the head unit output signal level. It is important to match the amplifier LEVEL input sensitivity to the Radio/CD output sensitivity. This can be located in the Radio/CD manual. If the Radio/CD output sensitivity is 2 volts, then adjust the amplifier LEVEL input to 2 volts. If you are not sure what the Radio output sensitivity is, follow these gener

SAMSON HIGH PERFORMANCE AMPLIFIERS The Samson Series products have been designed to a very high level of performance, with features unavailable in any other product. All of the amplifiers have variable crossovers built in, with added touches such as subsonic filter, bass equalization and a remote Level control module(some models) that allows subwoofer Level control from the drivers seat. To ensure years of listening pleasure, all amplifiers have a built in diagnostic mode that will detect shorte

Electrical interference The inside of an automobile is a very hostile electrical environment. The multitude of electrical systems, such as the ignition system, alternator, fuel pumps, air conditioners, to mention just a few, create radiated electrical fields, as well as noise on the +12 volt supply and ground. Remember to isolate the problem - first unplug amplifier input RCA cables, if the noise is still present, check the speaker leads, if not, plug the RCA’s back, and investigate the source d

LINE OUTPUT: The line output passes through signal from the line inputs which allows you to daisy chain multiple amplifiers from one signal. The Phase Shift is fully adjustable from 0 to 180 degrees and this allows you to control time alignment. Accepts line level balanced input from 0.4v to 18v. -The LINE INPUT signal is routed directly to the LINE OUT RCA jacks, and not affected by the settings on the amplifier simplifying daisy chaining of amplifiers. The BRE2500.1D is a linkable amplifier an

The next step is to scrape the paint off the vehicle chassis , slightly larger than the ground lug, at the connection point. Drill a clearance hole in the chassis, the same size as the lug hole, and use a bolt, spring washer and nut to securely fasten the ground lug. Use petroleum jelly to coat the bolt/lug connection, to prevent oxidization with time. TIP: Use the same approach when installing head units, equalizers or any audio equipment for that matter - run short individual grounds from each

A “Y” adapter - 1 ohm. may be needed as shown in the diagram. - Use at least 16 gauge speaker wiring. These amplifiers have dual speaker terminals, simplifying the hookup of multiple speakers. The 2 positives are the same and the 2 negatives are the same. Crossover frequency control checklist: - LOW PASS: 35Hz to 250Hz - SUBSONIC:15 Hz to 35 Hz - BASS EQ: 0 to 10dB - PHASE: 0 to 180 degrees Level control checklist: - Refer to the section “Setting up systems after installation for best performanc

Next you should insert a CD or cassette that you are familiar with to use as a reference, and turn the head unit volume control to about 80% of its full setting. The system sound level will of course be very low, and the following procedures will help you to match the amplifier input sensitivities properly to the head unit output signal level. It is important to match the amplifier LEVEL input sensitivity to the Radio/CD output sensitivity. This can be located in the Radio/CD manual. If the Radi
