• Daya (BATT): Connect a high-quality power cable (e.g., 4-gauge or 8-gauge depending on total system power) from the amplifier's BATT terminal to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle's battery. Install an inline fuse holder with the appropriate fuse rating (e.g., 60A for this amplifier) within 18 inches (45 cm) of the battery.
• Taneuh (GND): Connect a power cable of the same gauge as the BATT wire from the ampterminal GND lifier ka bersih, permukaan logam unpainted dina chassis wahana urang. Pastikeun sambungan padet, lalawanan low.
• Jauh (REM): Sambungkeun kawat péngkolan jauh tina kaluaran jauh unit sirah anjeun ka ampterminal REM lifier urang. kawat ieu sinyal nu amplifier to turn on and off with the head unit.
• Input (RCA or Speaker Level):
  • Input RCA: If your head unit has RCA pre-outs, connect RCA cables from the head unit to the amplifier's CH-1/2 INPUT and CH-3/4 INPUT terminals.
  • Input Tingkat Speaker: If your head unit does not have RCA pre-outs, use the speaker-level inputs. Connect the vehicle's speaker wires directly to the amplifier's speaker-level input harness.
• Speaker Outputs (CH-1, CH-2, CH-3, CH-4): Connect your speakers to the corresponding speaker output terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). For bridged mode, refer to the markings on the amplifier for the correct terminals (e.g., CH-1 and CH-2 bridged, CH-3 and CH-4 bridged).

• GAIN (Input Level): Saluyukeun sensitipitas input tina amplifier pikeun cocog kaluaran voltage of your head unit. Start with the gain at minimum and slowly increase it until you hear distortion, then back off slightly. This is not a volume control.
• FILTER (HP/LP/BP): Selects the type of crossover filter for each channel pair.
  • HP (High-Pass): Allows frequencies above the set point to pass through. Useful for full-range speakers to prevent low bass distortion.
  • LP (Low-Pass): Allows frequencies below the set point to pass through. Essential for subwoofers.
  • BP (Band-Pass): Allows frequencies within a specific range to pass through. Useful for mid-range drivers.
• FREQ (Frékuénsi): Adjusts the cutoff frequency for the selected filter (HP, LP, or BP). The R-A60F offers a frequency response of 15 to 30,000 Hz.
• BASS BOOST (0, 6, or 12 dB at 50 Hz): Selectable bass boost for rear channels to enhance low-frequency output. Use sparingly to avoid distortion.
• INPUT LEVEL (HI/LO): Switch to select between high (speaker-level) or low (RCA) input sensitivity. Ensure this matches your input connection type.

After making adjustments, listen to your audio system to ensure balanced sound and clarity. It is recommended to make small adjustments and re-evaluate the sound quality.
