AMPLIFIER
DESCRIPTION
The optional premium speaker system includes a separate audio power amplifier. The amplifier is located on the floor behind the spare tire in the trunk.
OPERATION
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 with dedicated feed and return circuits to the individual speakers.
