HOW TO A well-built sound system will set you aside from the rest and elevate your vehicle! It’s important that you carefully read the instructions on the following pages. This is to make sure that you install and use the amplifier correctly, so your system is as LOUD as possible! INSTALL AMPLIFIER Make sure your vehicle is up to task. - Page 13 HOW TO It’s time to find the perfect location to place your amplifier!

Page 19: Tweaking & Settings
HOW TO TWEAKING & SETTINGS The devil is in the details. Tweak the settings on your MAD amplifier using the following recommendations and cross the line that separates the average user from the hardcore high-power audio junkie! LEVEL (GAIN) Remember that the level/gain setting is not a volume control! It’s there to let you sync your head unit’s output signal with the amplifier. - Page 20 HOW TO Use an oscilloscope for high precision result When you are setting the level/gain on your amplifier with an oscilloscope you are measuring the output power of the amplifier. WARNING! Make sure that the positive speaker cable is removed from the amplifier. Set the level/gain to minimum.
- Page 21 The MAD A1 amplifiers are designed to offer you the option to either connect them to a subwoofer or to full range speakers/midrange drivers. The built-in crossovers need to be set correctly depending on type what type of setup you are going to apply.
- Page 22 HOW TO SUBWOOFER: Set the the LPF dial to 80Hz and the switch to LPF mode, this gives you a good starting point for tweaking and finding the desired crossover points. All crosso- vers has a 12dB octave slope, so if you for an example turn the HPF dial to 80 Hz the sound will be 12db lower at 40Hz.
- Page 23 BASS EQ in default mode or consult with your local GAS AUDIO POWER dealer. If you use the BASS EQ, make sure to turn down your level/gain first (to 0) before you start adjusting it.
