Adjusting the A-80 Crossover and Level Controls
Adjusting The Crossover
The built-in crossover on the Amplified
Bazooka is a 18dB per octave electronic low pass filter, it has
a 50Hz to 250Hz variable crossover point.
Select the crossover point that best suits your
system design. Set the potentiometer labeled XOVER to the point
you selected, 50Hz being all the way to the left (counter-clockwise)
and 250Hz being all the way to the right (clockwise).
When you have set the crossover, proceed to
the next step.
Adjusting Level Control
Locate the potentiometer labeled LEVEL.
This is the level control.
Start with the level control turned all the
way to the left (counter-clockwise). The bass should be off or very
low at this point.
Turn up your head unit until the sound from
the existing speakers starts to clip or distort. This is the point
in your system where you will get maximum volume with the least
amount of distortion.
With the head unit at this point, turn the level
control up (counter-clockwise) slowly until the bass volume blends
well with the existing high frequency speakers.
This should be the proper setting for the level
control.
Now that the level is set, you may want to go
back to the crossover control and adjust the crossover point by
ear to meet the desired sonic quality of your system design.
