- REM (Remote) Terminal: Connects to the remote turn-on lead from your source unit.
- +12V (Power) Terminal: Connects to the positive terminal of the vehicle's battery via an inline fuse.
- MONO OUTPUT (Speaker Terminals): Connects to your subwoofer(s). Minimum impedance 1 Ohm.
6. Installation
Une installation correcte est essentielle pour des performances et une sécurité optimales. Assurez-vous que toutes les connexions sont bien fixées et correctement polarisées.
6.1 Emplacement de montage
Choose a mounting location that is secure, provides adequate ventilation, and is protected from excessive moisture. While the amplifier is water-resistant, direct exposure to heavy water spray or submersion should be avoided.
6.2 Connexions de câblage
- Puissance (B+) : Connect a 4-gauge power cable from the +12V terminal of the amplifier directly to the positive terminal of the vehicle's battery. Install an appropriate inline fuse (100A recommended) within 18 inches of the battery.
- Masse (GND): Connect a 4-gauge ground cable from the GND terminal of the amplifier to a clean, bare metal point on the vehicle's chassis. Ensure a solid, low-resistance connection.
- Télécommandé (REM) : Connect a 18-gauge remote turn-on wire from the REM terminal of the amplifier to the remote output of your head unit.
- Entrée RCA : Connect RCA cables from the subwoofer output of your head unit to the INPUT RCA jacks on the amplifier.
- Sortie haut-parleur : Connect your subwoofer(s) to the MONO OUTPUT terminals. Ensure the total impedance is not below 1 Ohm. Observe correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
- Bouton de basse à distance : Connect the remote bass knob to the REMOTE port on the amplifier using the provided cable.
7. Fonctionnement
After installation, follow these steps to configure and operate your amplifier.
7.1 Initial Setup and Gain Adjustment
- Turn the GAIN control on the amplifier to its minimum (counter-clockwise) position.
- Réglez le volume de votre autoradio à environ 75 % de son niveau maximal.
- Play a dynamic piece of music with strong bass content.
- Augmentez progressivement le gain de la commande sur le amplifier until you hear distortion, then back it off slightly until the sound is clear. The CLIP indicator should not illuminate continuously.
7.2 Crossover and Filter Settings
- Filtre passe-bas (LPF) : Adjust the LPF control to set the upper frequency limit for your subwoofer. A common starting point is 80Hz-100Hz, but this may vary depending on your subwoofer and other speakers in your system.
- SUBSONIC Filter: Set the SUBSONIC filter to protect your subwoofer from playing frequencies below its resonant frequency. A common setting is 25Hz-30Hz, or slightly below your subwoofer's tuning frequency if it's in a ported enclosure. If you have a sealed enclosure, you may set it to OFF or a very low frequency.
7.3 Amplification des basses
- FREQ (Fréquence d'amplification des basses) : Select the frequency at which you want the bass boost to be centered. This is typically between 30Hz and 80Hz, depending on the desired effect.
- BOOST (Niveau d'amplification des basses) : Adjust the level of boost from 0dB to 12dB. Use this sparingly to avoid distortion and potential damage to your subwoofer.
Bouton de basses à distance 7.4
The remote bass knob allows for convenient adjustment of the subwoofer output level from your listening position. It acts as a master volume for the subwoofer channel, allowing you to increase or decrease the bass intensity without affecting other ampparamètres de lifier.
