3. Hvad er der i æsken
Når du åbner pakken, skal du kontrollere, at alle varer er til stede:
- AudioControl Altitude Amplifier (A800.1)
- Hex Key(s)
- High-Level input harness

- Brugervejledning (denne manual)
4. Installation
4.1 Sikkerhedsforanstaltninger
- Frakobl køretøjets negative batteripol, før du påbegynder elektrisk arbejde.
- Sørg for ordentlig ventilation til ampfor at forhindre overophedning.
- Use appropriate wire gauges and fusing as specified.
- Consult a professional installer if you are unsure about any steps.
4.2 Montering af Amplivligere
Choose a secure, dry location with adequate airflow. Use the provided mounting screws to firmly attach the amplifier to a solid surface in your vehicle. Avoid mounting on carpet or directly to metal without insulation.
4.3 Power and Ground Wiring
- Connect a 4 AWG power wire from the vehicle's positive battery terminal to the +12V terminal on the amplifier. Install a 100A fuse within 18 inches of the battery.
- Connect a 4 AWG ground wire from the amplifier's Ground terminal to a clean, solid metal point on the vehicle chassis. Ensure a good electrical connection by scraping away any paint.
- For remote turn-on, if not using GTO Signal Sense, connect a remote turn-on wire from your head unit to the Rmt In terminal.
4.4 Indgangsforbindelser
The A800.1 supports both speaker-level and line-level inputs.
- Højttalerniveauindgange: Use the provided high-level input harness to connect directly to your head unit's speaker outputs. This is ideal for factory systems without RCA pre-outs.
- Line-Level Inputs (RCA): Connect RCA cables from your head unit's subwoofer pre-outs to the CH1/CH2 RCA inputs on the amplivligere.

4.5 Output Connections (Subwoofers)
Tilslut din(e) subwoofer(e) til højttalerudgangsterminalerne på amplifier. Observe correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
- Standardforbindelse: Connect a single subwoofer or multiple subwoofers in parallel/series to achieve a final impedance between 1.33 Ohms and 4 Ohms.
- Spike Mode: For connecting three 4 Ohm subwoofers, wire them to achieve a 1.33 Ohm load. Refer to the wiring diagram below for Spike Mode configuration.

5. Betjeningsvejledning
5.1 Indledende opstart
After all connections are made, reconnect the vehicle's negative battery terminal. The amplifier's power indicator should illuminate. If not, check power and ground connections and the fuse.
5.2 Forstærkningsjustering
Gain-kontrollen matcher amplifier's input sensitivity to the output level of your head unit. Start with the gain set to minimum. Play a familiar music track with a strong bass signal at about 75% of your head unit's maximum volume. Slowly increase the amplifier's gain until you hear distortion, then back off slightly. This ensures maximum clean output.
5.3 Delefiltreindstillinger
The A800.1 features a variable low-pass filter (LPF) and a subsonic filter.
- Lavpasfilter (LPF): Adjust the LPF frequency (typically 60-120 Hz) to blend the subwoofer's output seamlessly with your main speakers. Frequencies above the set point will be attenuated.
- Subsonisk filter: This filter removes extremely low frequencies that are inaudible and can cause damage to your subwoofer. Set it slightly below your subwoofer enclosure's tuning frequency, if known, or typically between 20-30 Hz.
5.4 ParaBASS Adjustment
The ParaBASS control allows you to boost a specific range of low frequencies. Adjust the frequency knob to select the center frequency you wish to boost, then use the level knob to apply the desired amount of boost. Use this feature sparingly to avoid distortion.

5.5 Valet Mode
To activate Valet Mode, refer to the specific instructions in your full product manual or consult the AudioControl website. When active, the amplifier's output is limited to 25% of its maximum level.
