POWER CONNECTION
IMPORTANT! Before making any connections, disconnect the car’s battery until the installation is completed to avoid possible damage to the electrical system.
- The + 12V DC power cable should be a heavy gauge stranded copper cable with heavy insulation since it draws power directly from the positive battery terminal. Select the cable gauge al least 10mm2 And the ground cable gauge should be the same as the +12V DC.
- Connect the + 12V Power terminal to the battery ( +) position terminal. An in-line fuse must be installed in the +12V power cable near the battery less than 50mm. Without one, an accidental short circuit could pose a fire hazard and damage your amplifier. Connect the fuse holder to the battery, however, do not install the fuse at this time.
- Connect the GROUND Power terminal directly to the battery (- ) position terminal or the car chassis. Ensure that all paint or other insulation is removed from around the hole area, and using a self-tapping screw, securely affix the bare wire ends to the vehicle chassis. Use as short as possible.
- Many radios and other music sources have an output terminal for connection to the remote turn-on of the power amplifier. CONNECT the output terminal to the amplifier REM control jack. If a radio doesn’t have a remote turn-on feature, you can connect the REM pole to an external switch for positive +12V ON / OFF.
- To help minimize interference, it is best to run the Dower cables along the opposite side of the audio cables.
Installation
- Since the amplifier is sensitive to electrical and motor noise and interference from the amplifier may affect your radio reception, try to mount it at least 3 feet away from the receiver. Good locations include under a seat, in the trunk, or hatch area.
- Please remember this is a high power unit which generates high electrical energy and heals. Therefore be sure to install the unit in a place with sufficient airflow, a minimum of dust, and no moisture. Allow enough space around the cooling fins to permit reasonable airflow and cooling. It is important to ensure that the cooling fins of the heat sink are not against a panel or a surface preventing air circulation.
- Never mount the amplifier in a location that is subject to direct sunlight or exposed to moisture. Be sure to mount the amplifier to a strong, solid surface that will not give way under the stress of a sudden stop or accident.
- When mounting the amplifier on a side wall, try to position it so
that the slots in the cooling fins are vertical. The amplifier should not be mounted on the bottom of a rear deck with the fins facing down because the heat will radiate back up into the amplifier. Leave yourself enough room on either side of the amplifier to make all the wire connections and adjust the controls. If you have a subwoofer box in your vehicle, you can mount the amplifier on the outside of the box.
Complete Audio Management
Once connected, use the amplifier’s control center to personalize and fine-tune your listening experience. You can adjust and customize parameters such as:
Level (Gain) Management
In essence, these are volume controls. This will enable you to modify the incoming signal to the amplifier to match the level of other amplifiers in your system or to ensure optimal operation with your head unit.
Stage
enables you to adjust the waveform’s relative timing as it approaches your ear. The phase should normally be at O in typical subwoofer installations, where the subwoofer is located behind you. You can delay the moment at which the wave meets your ear by adjusting the subwoofers or woofers located in the kick panels or door panels.
High-Performance Screen
A specific speaker receives middle and high-frequency information via the high-pass crossover. If you plan to drive subwoofers powered by the amplifier’s channels in addition to satellite or coaxial speakers in the system, turn on the High Pass crossover. To get better sound, even if your system doesn’t have subwoofers, it could be useful to turn on the High Pass on smaller speakers to shield them from low-frequency information.
Low-Efficiency Screen
Only the low frequencies are allowed to reach the subwoofer, which increases efficiency and sound quality by filtering out high frequencies from the song. only communicates low-frequency data to specific speakers. If you plan to power subwoofers, you should typically activate the low-pass crossover.
Bass EQ
This option, which may be adjusted in decibels, controls how hard your bass kick is felt. The frequency range of a particular sound can be manually adjusted and balanced.
Changeover Switch
Serves as a filter, limiting the frequencies that reach a subwoofer and progressively lowering the power of the frequency output. routes the “Full” or “Low Pass” or “High Pass” filter outputs to the power amplifier.
