Tools and materials you need

•Screwdriver

•Electric drill, 3 mm / 0.12” carbide drill bit

•Mounting screws

•Power wire min. 25 mm² / 4AWG

•Ground wire min. 25 mm² / 4AWG

•Speaker wire min. 2 x 2,5 mm² / 13AWG

Please note!

•As a precaution it is advisable to disconnect the vehicle’s battery before making connection

to the +12 Volts supply wiring (see owner’s manual of your car for further information).

•Please use great caution drilling your trunk. Your gas tank and brake lines can be damaged by puncturing with your drill bit –

this could cause damage or failure of your cars operating systems.

•Never pass wires over sharp angles. It is recommended to buffer the power supply of the amplifier with a capacitor min. 1

Farad to guarantee a stable operation voltage.

WARNING !

High powered audio systems in a vehicle are capable of generating "Live Concert" levels of sound pressure. Continued exposure to

excessively high volume sound levels may cause hearing loss or damage. Also, operation of a motor vehicle while listening to audio

equipment at high volume levels may impair your ability to hear

external sounds such as; horns, warning signals, or emergency vehicles, thus constituting to a potential traffic hazard. In the interest of

safety, Consumer Electronics recommends listening at lower volume levels while driving.

Planning your system

Before beginning the installation, consider the following:

a. If you plan to expand your system by adding other components sometime in the future, ensure adequate space is left, and

cooling requirements are met.

b. If your radio / source is equipped with pre-amp outputs, it is possible to utilize them to drive the amplifier

Mounting your amplifier

a. Select a suitable location that is convenient for mounting, is accessible for wiring

and has ample room for air circulation and cooling.

b. Use the amplifier as a template to mark the mounting holes, remove the amplifier.

Warning

Chose a mounting position where all electric wires are protected from being damaged by sharp edges, heat or other conditions. +12Volt

DC electrical connections must be fused on the battery side. Make sure your radio and all other devices will be turned off while connection

your system. If you need to replace the power fuse, replace it only with a fuse identical to that supplied with the system. Using a fuse of

different type or rating may result in damage to this system which isn’t covered by the warranty.

Power terminals

GND -> Ground connection

REM -> Remote antenna terminal

BATT -> +12 Volt

Status indication

WHITE – OK

RED – Error

RCA inputs

Terminal for connection of the RCA wires.

To avoid failure, please use high quality RCA wires.

Input level controller

With this controller you can adjust the input sensitivity.

Bass boost controller

For adjusting of the bass boost level in the range from 0 to +12 dB (45 Hz)

(Channel 3/4)

Mode switch

Adjust the crossover for the chosen utilization.

LPF – Channel 1/2: Filter fixed @ 80 Hz. Only bass frequencies (below 80 Hz)

will be reproduced.

Channel 3/4: Only bass frequencies (below 30 - 250 Hz) will be reproduced.

At LPF adjustment, also the Highpass (Subsonic) is activated.

This equals a Bandpass filter of 5 – 250 Hz.

FULL – All frequencies will be reproduced.

HPF – Only middle and high frequencies (over 5Hz – 500Hz) will be

reproduced.

High pass controller

(Subsonic)

Adjust the variable highpass crossover frequency between 5 and 250 Hz (Ch

3/4) and 40 Hz – 3 kHz (Ch 1/2).

RCA output

For connection of additional amplifiers in fullrange operation.

Low pass controller

Adjust the variable lowpass frequency between 30 – 250 Hz (Ch 3/4)

80 Hz fix @ channel 1/2.

Phase shift controller

This controller allows you to fit the subwoofer channel in-phase to the front

system.

Remote control input

For connection of the bass remote control.

Turning on the amplifier

The amplifier automatically turns on a few seconds after you turn on your radio.

Note: Your amplifier temporarily shuts down if it gets too hot, then restarts automatically once it cools

(At about 80° / 176° F).

Adjusting the audio level

1. LEVEL (Min/Max): Turn fully counter- clockwise to MIN position

2. Turn the auto sound system's volume control to about two-third of its full range.

3. Adjust LEVEL to a comfortable listening level.

Trimode crossover

TRI MODE operation output allows a subwoofer to be operated in mono mode while the main speakers are playing in stereo. Leave the

crossover switch on “Full” position.

Use 100 volt, non-polar capacitors for a high pass crossover to filter out low frequencies and Air- core or

Ferrit- ore coils with a minimum diameter of 1 mm / 0.039” for the lowpass crossover to filter out high frequencies.

The capacitor and inductor values as written in the below table. The front and rear channels of this amplifier get this capability. Only the

rear left and right channels are shown on the following pictures.
