ACX-300.1

Overview: The AudioControl ACX-300.1 all-weather amplifier is a compact mono amp designed for your boat, ATV, UTV, motorcycle, and more. The all-weather amp can provide 175 watts RMS @ 4-ohms and 300 watts RMS @ 2-ohms. The ACX-300.1 also features both RCA line-level and speaker-level inputs, making it ideal for OEM and aftermarket headunits.

Note: The AudioControl ACX-300.1 does not include an amplifier wiring kit. A minimum 8 ga. kit is recommended (sold separately).

High-/Low-Level Inputs: The ACX-300.1 includes two built-in 12" RCA inputs that can accept either high- or low-level input signals. If running high-level signals, RCA to speaker-wire adapters must be used (sold separately), or the RCA connectors must be cut off and the bare-ended wire used.

• Low-Level Input Range: 500mV - 6Vrms
• High-Level Input Range: 1Vrms - 12Vrms

AccuBASS: The patented AccuBASS processing circuit compensates for factory bass rolloff to improve bass performance, especially with most factory installed sound systems. The circuit has two rotary controls: the Threshold lets you dial in the level at which the AccuBASS will begin to work, and a Level control that adjusts the amount of AccuBASS compensation.

Crossovers: The ACX-300.1 includes a 12 dB/octave Linkwitz-Riley low-pass filter with a 3-position switch to change the crossover point. Choices include 80Hz, 120Hz, or Bypass.

Gain Maximized LEDs: The mono amp's inputs include a Gain control to the properly set the overall output level. A Maximized LED indicator will light to let you know when the output signal has reached its optimum performance level, helping to avoid running a distorted signal to your speakers.

GTO (Great Turn On) Signal Sense: If you are connecting the amplifier to a factory stereo, or an aftermarket unit without preamp outputs and a remote turn-on lead, the GTO Signal Sense circuitry can turn on the amplifier when an audio signal is detected on either the line-level or speaker-level inputs. After a period of time with no signal input, the amp will turn itself off.

Optional Wired Remote Control: The ACX-300.1 amplifier features a female 3.5mm jack on a built-in 12" harness, letting you connect an optional ACR-1 wired remote control (sold separately). A 16.5' ACR-1 connection cable is provided, with a male 3.5mm connector on one end and an RJ-14 connector on the other end, that connects to the wired controller.

All-Weather Construction: The ACX-300.1 amp has been constructed to withstand outdoor environments and carries an IPX6 waterproof rating, making it impervious to weather. A removable cover-plate on top of the amp protects the controls and LED indicators from dust and moisture ingress. The cover-plate screws require a 2.5mm hex bit for removal (not included). All wire harnesses on the amp are built-in for added weather resistance:

• Audio Inputs: Two RCA jacks on 12" input cables are provided, each with protective plastic caps.
• Speaker Output: A 12" 2-pin speaker-wire output is terminated in a waterproof connector, and includes a matching 7" harness with bare-ended wire.
• Power/Ground/Remote: A 12" section of 10ga. power and ground wire terminates in a waterproof connector, with matching 7" harness and bare-ended wire. An additional empty power/ground connector is provided, letting you build your own harness to match the amp's power/ground connector. A bare-ended 12", 18ga. remote turn-on wire is provided in the power/ground harness.

Notes:

• The Audio Control ACX-300.1 will require an 8-gauge amp wiring kit, which is sold separately.
• The ACX-300.1 does not include any fuses and will require an in-line 30A fuse (sold separately) on the power wire, placed within 18" of the battery terminal.

Mounting: The AudioControl ACX-300.1 features built-in mounting flanges on either end of the amp, with two pre-drilled holes in each, allowing the amp to be mounted in a variety of locations. Four 3/4" screws are provided for mounting.

• Preamp/Speaker-Level Inputs: 2 (RCA)
• Preamp-Level Voltage Range: 500mV - 6Vrms
• Speaker-Level Voltage Range: 1Vrms - 12Vrms
