If you are using an Antique Automobile Radio (AAR) with a 4 or 5 channel amplifier, you won’t be able to use the fader function that is built into the radio because AAR Radios only have 3 channel subwoofer outputs. These outputs only control the left and right sides of the faders; they do not have any control of the fader in the front and back. If you want to adjust the sound in the front and back, you have to use the gain on the amplifier to get control of the front and back faders. Please take caution when using your gain. Turning your gain up to high can result in your woofers and amplifiers burning out due to heat that builds from your amp clipping. So that begs the question, “How do I combine the power of a 4 or 5 channel amplifier with an AAR Radio and have control of all sides of your fader?” Here are your best options for this situation.
We recommend a bass knob for 5 Channel Amps or for any subwoofer installation for that matter. Bass Knobs allow you to control the subwoofer from the driver’s seat and the knob is easy to turn just like the volume knob on your radio. Just use the 2 channel inputs like we described in the first step and ignore the subwoofer control. You don’t need the subwoofer control because the bass knob will take its place.
