Ground Pounder GPV AMPLIFIERS Crunch is proud to introduce the finest high end car audio products available and would like to thank you for your continued support. The Ground Pounder Series range of products have been designed to a very high level of performance, with features unavailable in any other products.
GENERAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE System Design The success of any car stereo system relies on several factors, such as the system design, execution of the installation, and system setup. Please remember that any system is only as good as its weakest link. Please remember that higher power systems are not necessarily useful purely for high sound pressure levels, but also to establish a headroom capability, to reproduce musical peaks cleanly without distortion.
A POWER LED indicates the powered up and turned on condition. All Crunch amplifiers feature a comprehensive diagnostic system, with speaker lead short circuit, and amplifier DC faults indicated by the red “PROTECT” LED.
FULL RANGE STEREO LINE INPUT FULL RANGE MONO This application illustrates the basic mono bridging method for all Crunch 2 channel amplifiers. Interconnect cable checklist: A MONO signal source is required, such as would be available from the mono sub bass output of an active crossover, whether stand alone, or built into a head unit or equalizer.

GPV700.2 / GPV1000.2 2-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER APPLICATIONS Stereo high pass with mono low-pass in a 2 way active, or bi-amplified system In this application we will use a 2 channel amplifier for the high frequencies, and a second one for the low frequencies, or mono sub bass. Please consult the speaker specifications to determine maximum amplifier power requirements.
Here we show how to use the 4 channel amplifiers as full range 2 or 3 channel units by taking advantage of the mono bridging capability of all Crunch amplifiers. The following example shows how to create a 3 channel system by mono bridging channel pair 3 / 4.

GPV1000.4 / GPV1600.4 4 CHANNEL AMPLIFIER APPLICATIONS 2 way active, or bi-amplified system with mono bass This application shows how easily a 2 way active system can be implemented using a 4 channel amplifier. Channels 1 and 2 will be used for highs, and channels 3 and 4 for mono bass.
GPV2000.1 A/B CLASS 1 CHANNEL AMPLIFIER APPLICATION Basic application These sub bass amplifiers can be used in any of the bi-amplification systems described in this manual, replacing the 2 channel amplifiers as per the illustrations. Interconnect cable checklist: Connect the inputs to a suitable source, e.g. a head unit with good quality RCA cables. Connect the LINE OUT to the inputs of the system highs amplifier.
GPV3000.1D PRO D CLASS 1 CHANNEL AMPLIFIER APPLICATIONS Basic application SINGLE AMP INSTALLATION PROCEDURE: 1. Connect the amp LINE INPUTS to the Radio/CD player full range or mono line out puts with good quality RCA interconnect cables. 2. Plug in the GPR-1 bass remote module into the amp REMOTE INPUT jack. 3.
SETTING UP SYSTEMS AFTER INSTALLATION FOR BEST PERFORMANCE GPV700.2 / GPV1000.2 / GPV1000.4 / GPV1600.4 General: At this point you are ready to get more specific on the settings for your amplifier. High Pass: -When in Hi Pass operation, this setting acts as a low frequency cut off for your system reproduction. The point that you set it at cuts off any frequencies from reproduction beyond this point.
TROUBLESHOOTING A SYSTEM The key to finding the problem in a misbehaving sound system is to isolate parts of that system in a logical fashion to track down the fault. Description of the PROTECT system built into all GROUND POUNDER amplifiers The diagnostic system will shut down the amplifier, until reset by turning the head unit off, and back on.
CRUNCH Maxxsonics Limited Warranty As the manufacturer of Maxxsonics, Autotek, Crunch, MB Quart and Hifonics car audio products, Maxxsonics USA Inc. Warrants to the original consumer purchaser the amplifier to be free from defects in material and workmanship for one (1) Year from date of purchase.
