Installation

Installation Notes

The amplifier is generally mounted in the rear trunk area but can be mounted in any convenient area such as beneath a seat. Please be sure to locate this unit where you have reasonable air circulation and protection from moisture. When considering the mounting location you should minimize the length of the power and speaker leads. Minimizing both leads will yield a more reliable installation. It is also important to ensure that the heat sink fins are not against a panel or a surface, preventing air circulation. Do not install the amplifier on a subwoofer box or on vibrating parts of the vehicle, since the vibrations can cause damage to the amplifiers electrical components.

Installation of the amplifier

Before starting with the installation, mount the provided mounting brackets on the amplifier. Mark the location for the mounting screw holes by using the amplifier as a template. Drill holes at the marked locations as and firmly fasten the amplifier in place with the mounting screws supplied in the accessory kit. Before drilling or cutting any holes, investigate the layout of your automobile thoroughly: Take care when working near the gas lines or hydraulic lines and electrical wiring.

Electrical Connection

natural_image Pure diagram of a rectangular panel with horizontal lines and corner connectors, no text or symbols present.

Ground (GND)

This wire is the electrical ground and must be fastened securely to the vehicle chassis. The best method is to use a threading sheet metal screw since the threads cut into bare metal. Ensure that all paint or other insulationis removed from around the hole area, and using self tapping screw, securely affix the bare wire ends to the vehicle chassis. Use as short a piece of cable as possible - use the same gauge as was used for the +12V cable. Make sure that the connection is safe and stable.

Remote (REM)

Connect the remote wire of your headunit with the remote turn-on of the power amplifier,

Battery Connection (+12V Power)

This wire is usually connected directly to the positive battery terminal. Ensure that the + power supply wire is fused via an in-line fuse near by the battery. Please use a sufficient gauge (min 16 mm) with spade lug with insulating sleeve.

Fuses

The integrated amplifier fuses protect the units from short circuit and overload. The fuse rating is for 4 Ohm loads (impedance) of the speakers, for 2/1 Ohm loads the fuses may have to get increased by up to 50% / 100% in case of higher power consumption.

Bass Remote Control - connection for remote control. This controller regulates the bass level from e.g. the driver's seat. Switch position CH1/2-LPF Switch position CH3/4=LPF Connect RCA outputs from head-unit with RCA inputs (LINE INPUT CH1/2, CH3/4 & CH5).

  • By using bigger speakers (more than 20cm) you can set the X-OVER switch to the FULL position (Full Range Signal).
  • By using smaller speakers (8.7cm - 16cm) you must set the X-OVER switch to the HPF Position (Highpass Mode) to avoid any damage by lower frequencies on the speakers. The cut-off frequency is adjustable with the HIGH PASS controller and should be set between 50Hz to 4kHz(CH1/2) and 50Hz to 150Hz(CH3/4), depending on the size of the speakers.
  • The LOW PASS Controller is not in use in this interconnecting example.

LEVEL CONTROLLER

  • Tum the LEVEL controller of the amplifier to the 6V position.
  • Turn the volume controller of the headunit to 80 - 90% of its full setting.
  • Turn the LEVEL controller clockwise until you hear some distortion.
  • Then turn back the LEVEL controller slightly until you hear a cleaner sound.

BASS BOOST CONTROLLER

- The BASS BOOST controller must be turned to 0 dB position in this interconnecting example.

Troubleshooting

System does not turn on

  1. Check all fuses.
  2. Check all connections.
  3. Measure the +12 volt and remote turn on voltages at the amplifier terminals. If these are non existent or low, take voltage measurements at fuse holders, distribution blocks, the head unit's +12 volt and remote leads to localize the problem.

Noise problems

  1. Check the speaker wiring
    2.Speakers are damaged

No Signal at all Channels

  1. Set Balance and Fader from head unit on Zero-Position
  2. Check wiring (Amplifier, Speakers)
  3. Speakers are damaged
  4. Subsonic Filter is adjusted too high or Lowpass Filter is adjusted too low

Hiss or white noise

  1. Speakers are overload
  2. High levels of white noise usually occurs when amplifier level controls are turned up too high - readjust according to the procedures in section "Setting up systems after installation for best performance"
  3. Another problem that can cause excessive hiss, is a noisy head unit - unplug the amplifier input RCA cables, and if the hiss level reduces, the source unit is at fault.

No Stereo-Sound or Low Output

  1. Check speaker wiring (- and +)

Amplifier Protection-Mode (red LED is illuminated)

  1. Speaker cables are shorted
  2. Inadequate cooling - relocate or remount to provide better natural airflow over the fins.

Driving high power levels into low impedances - back off on the volume control, and/or make sure you are not loading the amplifier with less than the recommended loudspeaker impedance.

  1. Make sure that the battery voltage, as measured at the amplifier's +12 volt and ground terminals, is 11 volts or more.

Electrical interference

The inside of an automobile is a very hostile electrical environment. The multitude of electrical systems, such as the ignition system, alternator, fuel pumps, air conditioners to mention just a few, create radiated electrical fields, as well as noise on the +12 volt supply and ground. Remember to isolate the problem - first unplug amplifier input RCAcables, if the noise is still present, check the speaker leads, if not, plug the RCA's back, and investigate the source driving the amplifier, one component at a time.

A ticking or whine that changes with engine RPM:

  1. This problem could be caused by radiation pickup of RCA cables too near to a fuel pump or a distributor, for instance, - relocate cables.
  2. Check that the head unit ground is connected straight to the vehicle chassis, and does not use factory wiring for ground.
  3. Try to supply the head unit with a clean +12 volt supply directly from the battery +, instead of using a supply from the in dash wiring/fusebox. This type of noise can be more difficult to pinpoint, but is usually caused by some kind of instability, causing oscillations in the system.

7

A constant whine:

  1. Check all connections, especially for good grounds.
  2. Make sure that no speaker leads are shorting to exposed metal on the vehicle chassis.
  3. RCA cables are notorious for their problematic nature, so check that these are good, in particular the shield connections.

Caution!

In this amplifier are integrated protection circuits. Short Circuit Protection engaged: The amplifier will turn off and try to come back on immediately. The amplifier will cycle like this indefinitely, with "blips" of sound each time. If this is the case, check your speakers and wiring for low impedance and short circuits. Thermal Protection engaged: The amplifier will turn off and several minutes later will come back on. In this case, ensure that there is nothing blocking the normal convective airflow of the amplifier. No obstruction should be within 2" of the amplifier on all sides. NOTE: Low battery voltage will cause the amplifier to run warmer and possibly damage the amplifier. If the red LED still lighting up after all re-checking, the amplifier is damaged. Please send then a detailed malfunction description and a copy of the invoice of purchase together with the device to you car audio retailer.
