18. UB LEFT LEFT A AY A O Y RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT BRIDGED Gain Because of the wide range of head unit output configurations all ARC Audio amplifiers have an adjustable input sensitivity or Gain The gain is not a volume or a power limiting control like a throttle It makes the amp more sensitive to input from the stereo With the gain up the amp will reach full output at a lower volume setting on the deck At higher gain settings the amp also becomes more sensitive to noise from the car s electrical system Try to run the gain at the lowest setting possible for you system There is no correct gain setting Because speakers require different power demands to reach the same output the gains most often need to be used to compensate for these differences If you tried to set all the gains at half way you would probably find the system didn t sound very good Using good judgment and listening carefully to each speaker i LOW FULL is still the best way to tune a system HIGH Crossover Controls A crossover is a device that removes unwanted frequencies from a speaker or amplifier A tweeter can easily be destroyed by bass notes if they are not filtered out Likewise a subwoofer will not sound natural if it is playing midrange notes A crossover removes these sounds from the speaker As you might guess careful adjustment is needed to ensure that all the speakers are playing
