Amplifier: Description and Operation
AMPLIFIERDESCRIPTION
The optional premium speaker system includes a separate audio power amplifier. The amplifier is a four channel unit and is rated at 120 (RCC sales code) or a six channel rated at 150 (RCK sales code) total output watts. The amplifier is located below the front passenger seat.
The power amplifier electronically increases the frequency response of the normal audio signal output from the radio amplifier in order to improve the acoustic performance of the speakers. On vehicles equipped with an amplifier, the amplifier section of the radio becomes a pre-amplifier.
The amplifier receives audio signal inputs for speaker channels from the radio, then sends amplified audio outputs through six separate channels with dedicated feed and return circuits to the individual speakers.
