Equipped with an included 8-pin plug-and-play wiring harness, this compact unit lets you effortlessly add a set of high-output REV8 or ICON 8 tower speakers without custom fabrication or messy wiring. Engineered with weatherproof construction, it is built tough to withstand water, mud, dust, and harsh outdoor environments so your party never stops.
Precision Tuning & All-Weather Output
Delivering ultra-flexible output, this amplifier is 2-Ohm stable per channel and 4-Ohm bridgeable, making it versatile enough to drive powerful tower speakers or an extra subwoofer with total clarity. Pop off the protective cover to access a complete set of tuning controls, including variable Gain (0.2V–5.0V), a selectable Hi/Low/Full Crossover (40Hz–400Hz), and a punchy Bass Boost (0dB to +16dB). It provides all the clean, customizable power you need to blast distortion-free audio across the trail or water.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- • Why isn't the amplifier turning on after installation?
Check the fuse, power cable, ground, and remote connection. The installation manual recommends reconnecting the battery only after the roof harness is fully connected.
- • Why aren't my additional tower speakers producing sound?
Check the speaker output harness, RCA connections, and 8-pin harness. Make sure the added speakers are connected to the correct left and right outputs.
- • Can I use it with speakers other than the recommended tower speakers?
It is designed for adding a pair of compatible REV8 or ICON8 tower speakers to an AR-5 roof system. Check speaker impedance and power requirements before using other models.
- • Why does the sound distort when I turn the volume up?
Check the gain setting and avoid excessive bass boost. Overdriving the system can cause distortion and may trigger amplifier protection.
- • Why does the amplifier go into protection mode?
Check for loose speaker wires, incorrect impedance, insufficient ventilation, or an overdriven system. Also verify the power and ground connections.
- • Can I run the two channels at 2 ohms?
Yes. It is 2-ohm stable per channel. Verify that the connected speakers present the correct final impedance before powering the system.
- • Can I bridge the two channels for more power?
Yes. The amplifier can be bridged at 4 ohms. Make sure the connected load is compatible with the bridged configuration.
- • Why is the bass too weak or too strong?
Adjust the crossover frequency and bass boost gradually. The crossover is adjustable from 40–400 Hz, with up to 16 dB of bass boost available.
- • Why are the added speakers not responding to the RGB lighting?
Check the RGB wires in the included 8-pin DT harness and verify that the harness is connected properly to the AR system wiring.
- • Is the plug-and-play installation really necessary for an AR-5 roof system?
The amplifier is specifically pre-wired for the AR-5 system. Using the included harnesses helps simplify installation and maintain the intended connections.
