Lowpass crossover network and a 24db slope subsonic filter. The mono amps also
feature a Selectable Bass Boost EQ is set at 45Hz.

In some subwoofer enclosure installations it may necessary to use the Phase Shift
feature. The Phase Shift button sets the Subwoofer signal between 0 degree
setting and 180 degree settings. This will also allow you to fine tune the subwoofer
enclosure depending on vehicle location.
