• Remember that you purchased a
MONO-Amplifier.
Therefore there is only one
speakeroutputsignal.The reason
why you see two sets of speaker-
outputs is to make it easier for
you to install multiple subwoofers
to your amplifier. Now you don’t
have to put all speakercables to
one output, but can devide it over two outputs, so you will have a more pro-
per installation. The outputsignal on both speakeroutputs is the same.
They are connected in parallel on the inside.
NEVER BRIDGE THE SPEAKEROUTPUTS.
THEY GIVE THE SAME MONO-SIGNAL
• Use a quality speaker cable for your Car Audio System.Once you’ve heard the
difference, you’ll know why we advise you to consult your local Caliber dealer
for our range of 800 Evolution Series stereo signal cables with chrome-plated
connectors and CS Silver, silverplated speakercable.
• Never connect the negative speaker output to the chassis of your vehicle.
This causes severe damage to your Car Audio System.
Getting tuned
After you have installed your Caliber amplifier correctly, it is
time for the expert tuning to get your own personal sound.
1. Set your level adjustment at the minimum sensitivity(15V).
2. Adjust the volume control of your head unit (Radio/cassette
or CD-player) to approximately 3/4 volume setting.
3. Turn your level adjustment clockwise until you hear the
amplifier begin to distort.
A Caliber Amplifier “clips” very softly, so this can
sometimes be a difficult adjustmen

Signal input
• The RCA-jacks to your left are the ‘Line-in’ terminals
and are to be connected with your radio/cassette or
CD player. Make sure you put the left channel to the
RCA jack marked “Left”, an the right Channel to the
RCA-jack marked “Right”.
• As you can see, each Caliber amplifier gives you the possibility to connect a
second (or more) amplifier to your system via the ‘Signal-out’ terminals.The
advantage of two amplifiers is that one amplifier can be used for normal stereo,
while the other is used as a subwoofer amplifier.
• All Caliber amplifiers have a variable input level adjustment. It allows you to
match any signal source (CD player,AM/FM cassette deck, etc.) correctly from
its pre-amp output into your Caliber amplifier. The adjustment ranges from
15V (minimum) to 500mV (maximum).
• There are even more knobs to play with now.The Caliber amplifiers feature a
built-in variable Low Pass crossover which allows you to fine-tune your ampli-
fiers response as you like it. The built-in variable Low Pass crossover can be
adjusted in a range from 50Hz - 250Hz.
•For the professionals outthere, Caliber has intergraded a subsonic filter in this
digital mono amplifier.This 24dB/Oct. subsonic filter can is variable from 20Hz
to 50Hz. Of course you can switch it of, in case you don’t have a need for it.
• Another novelty that comes with this amplifier is a digital remote control for
the subwoofer level. Just mount the satalite in or under dash, lead the remo-
te cable to the amplifier, and plug in. In this way you get full digital control over
the sound from your digital mono amplifier.
CCS (Caliber Control System)
The CCS connector of your Competition Pro amplifier gives you the possibility
of connecting a CCS LCD display (LCS screen not supplied) so that from behind
the wheel, you can keep track of the condition of your amplifier.
The Caliber Control System recognises and displays for a maximum of 4 Pro
amplifiers: the type, the voltage and the temperature of the amplifier. The system
warns you if one of the connected amplifiers is overheating or the voltage is too low.
