Introduction Thanks for purchasing your new GT series automotive amplifier. The GT series amplifier you have chosen includes many unique features to enhance its performance and utility. The power amplifier circuitry is a fully discrete design notable for low distortion and unusually clean and clear reproduction quality.

5 5. Connect the outputs from the signal source to the appropriate inputs of the amplifier according to the Wiring Diagram (page 13) with either high quality low-level signal cables with RCA plugs, with the supplied Speaker-level input connector, or both.
System Design Using the GTS100 Speakers When used in the non-bridged mode, the GTS100 can easily drive 2 ohm speaker loads. When only one speaker is connected to each channel, virtually any common speaker may be used.
7 controls (Volume, Balance, Bass, Treble) may be connected to the pre- amp-level inputs at the same time as a powered radio/tape unit is connected to the speaker-level inputs. This provides a higher performance alternative to an FM Modulator connection when you wish to add CD capability to a factory installed cassette radio.

9 Installation Precautions Before beginning the installation of the amplifier, read the following precautions carefully. Failure to heed these warn- ings could result in personal injury or damage to property . • The GTS 100 should be installed only in vehicles that have 12-volt negative ground electrical systems.
• The GTS100 must be mounted in a place where air can circulate around the fins on the chassis. Good air circulation around the amplifier will make it operate at lower tempera- tures and reduce the chance of the thermal protection circuits being trig- gered.

Mounting Instructions Place the amplifier in the installation location. Use a pen or pencil to mark the four mounting screw hole locations. Set the amplifier aside and drill the holes for the mounting screws.

Power Supply Connections The power input and remote turn-on wires are connected to the GTS100 via the power connector on the end of the amplifier. Use the included wire harness for connections. In some cases, such as a custom competition installation, you may wish to make your own custom power harness.

carefully to the system output, adjust the volume control of the radio/tape deck to the point where you first begin to hear audible distortion. Reduce the level just to the point where the distor- tion goes away. This is the maximum undistorted output level of your head unit and signal processors, and should not be exceeded during use.
and 16 volts. Check that the power wires are not reversed. If the GTS100 is operated at very high power levels in a high ambient tempera- ture situation, the unit may not be able to radiate all the heat generated by such operation.
the amplifiers and signal processors are all grounded to the same point on the chassis. Usually the head unit does not need to be grounded to the same point as the rest of the system, but in some instances grounding the head unit to the same point will also help.

Additional System Configurations for Add-On or Upgrade The features and capabilities of the GTS100 provide tremendous system design flexibility. The diagrams on the following pages illustrate some of the system possibilities. They are in order of increasing complexity, showing the way a system may be upgraded in logical steps.

If they are, sound output level may be very low and may give the impression that the system (or part of the system) is dead.
