CONNECTING THE SUBWOOFER

Before connecting any wiring look through this manual and identify the
diagrams to follow for power, input and speaker connections for your particular
installation. Be sure you understand all the connections before you proceed.
1. Connect the ground terminal to the closest point on the chassis of the
vehicle. Keep this ground wire to less than 39" (100cm) in length.
Use 8 gauge (or heavier) wire.
2. Connect the remote terminal to the remote output of the head unit using
16 gauge (or heavier) wire.
3. Connect an empty fuse holder within 18" (45cm) of the car battery, and
run 8 gauge (or heavier) cable from this fuse to the amplifier location.
4. Check that the fuse holder doesn't contain a fuse. Next, connect the fuse
holder to the "BATT+" connection on the amplifier.
5. Connect all line inputs using high-quality cables.
6. Insert fuse(s) into battery fuse holders.
7. Recheck all connections before powering up the subwoofer.
8. Set all level controls to minimum position, and set all crossover
control/switches to the desired frequency points.
9. Power up the head unit and the subwoofer. Then set the volume control
on the head unit to about 75% volume, and adjust the subwoofer's input
level controls to just below the level of distortion.
10. Further fine tuning of the various controls may be necessary to obtain
best results.
Don't misuse the level control!
Do not mistake the input level control for a volume control! It is designed
ONLY to match the output level of your audio source to the input level of
your subwoofer.
Do not adjust this input level to maximum unless your input level requires it.
Ignoring these instructions will result in an input overload to the amplifier in
the subwoofer, and excessive audio distortion. It can also cause the
protection circuit to engage.
