LOW LEVEL INPUTS
Choose the correct length and style of RCA interconnects for your needs. The FUSION range
of RCA’s gives you a variety of alternative solutions. These have multiple layers of shielding or
are a twisted pair variety for better noise rejection (consult your FUSION dealer if unsure which
to purchase).
Be extra careful with your RCA interconnects. Car environments are notorious for poorly insulated
wires. This means that hiss, engine noise, and fan noise can easily be picked up through RCA
cables if run incorrectly. Avoid running your RCA’s near large wire looms and electric fans if
possible. Run your RCA cables on the opposite side of the vehicle to the power cable. Be sure
to check for correct balance. (Red is right and Black or White is left).
LEVEL CONTROL
The LEVEL control, allows you to match the input level of the amplifier to the output level of your
head unit. Matching the input can be accomplished in three simple steps:
1: Turn the LEVEL control on the amplifier to minimum.
2: Turn up the headunit and adjust to 3/4 maximum volume ensuring that the BASS and
TREBLE are set to zero.
3: Adjust the LEVEL control until desired volume is achieved without audible distortion.
Remember, the gain control is not a volume control. Ignoring the three steps above may
leave you with damaged speakers and/or a damaged amplifier.
