The factory infinity systems have the dash speakers on separate wires from the doors unlike the other 3S cars which are jumpered. So the dash speakers were jumpered at the amp so that a 4 channel amp could be used instead of a 6 channel like the stock infinity amp is. Since the Factory Infinity radios have only line outs the connection to an amp is made easy with the addition of the PERIPHERAL MITAH. This also supplies the aftermarket amp turn on power that exists in the infinity system.

Some amps use just relays to turn them on and some amps have a solid state turn on that uses very little current. The available amp turn on voltage is 11.19 (see pic)volts but because the output is from a low current type of solid state circuit it will not turn on a normal 12v relay. The easiest work around is to use a PERIPHERAL LVT2. It eliminates the hassle of using a separate relay you have to wire, it’s all done for you. Also may be used to sense audio signals to create an amplifier turn-on. I will check that feature out at a later date when I use the Peripheral VEN4 line output converter with a stock radio with an amplified output to feed the Diamond amp.

The PERIPHERAL LVT2 isn’t needed! The output is 10 volts (See Pic) with the amp in circuit. This amp has a built in delay circuit that is solid state and not a current hungry relay circuit. Although I’m sure it does eventually use a relay just not in the turn on input.
