REMOTE GAIN
Both D5 Class "D" amplifiers come with a remote gain output. The remote
gain module (included) plugs into this output to allow for gain control away
from the amplifier. When you plug this module in, it replaces the gain from
where it is set on the amplifier. Max (all the way clockwise) on the module is
set to whatever the gain on the amp is set to.
SPEAKER WIRING
Diamond Audio recommends using speaker wire of at least 16 gauge. Lay out
the wire in the vehicle from the individual speaker locations to the amplifier(s).
Observe safe wiring precautions.
Your D5 Professional Reference Series Amplifier will accept speaker wire up to
10 gauge directly. Locate the speaker terminal block on the end of the
amplifier. Strip approximately 1/2 inch of insulation from the wire, insert the
wire into the terminal, and tighten the Allen screw. Repeat for all speaker
wires. Please observe our recommended minimum speaker impedances to
prevent possible damage.
Banana Jacks using up to 8 gauge wire can be inserted into the speaker block.
Remove the set screw completely and insert the Banana Jack into the end of
the block.
BRIDGING
Although the D5 Class "D" amplifiers have two sets of outputs, they are mono-
block and the outputs can not be bridged. The two sets of outputs are
paralleled inside the amp to a single channel. This gives you ease during the
installation of multiple voice coils or woofers.
