Low-Pass Crossover

The low-pass crossover is active with a 2nd order (2dB per octave) slope . The low-pass crossover
is continuously variable from 50Hz to 500Hz .
Remote Bass Operation
The remote bass port provides easy remote access to the internal bass gain structure of the
power amplifier . The bass gain is centered at 44Hz . The RGC-2 plugs into the amplifier via the
/8" mini jack plug . The RGC-2 can be installed in the front of the vehicle to control the ampli-
