Frequently Asked Questions - GZNA 1.2500DXII Ground Zero

How to connect the GZNA 1.2500DXII amplifier?
Connect the +12V power cable to the BATT terminal (via a 200A fuse), the ground to GND, and the remote signal to REM. Plug the RCA cables from the head unit into the input. Connect the subwoofer to the speaker output. Make sure the battery is disconnected before installation.
Which fuse to use and where to place it?
Use a 200 A ANL fuse placed between the battery and the amplifier, within 20 cm of the amplifier. Do not exceed this distance to avoid fire risks.
What speaker impedance is supported?
The amplifier is stable at 1 Ω in mono. In bridge mode (two amplifiers), the minimum impedance is 2 Ω. Do not go below to avoid triggering protection.
How to adjust the input gain?
Set the INPUT LEVEL control to MIN. Increase the head unit volume to 2/3 of maximum. Then turn the control until you get a pleasant sound level without distortion.
What does the orange LED (PROTECTION) mean?
The orange LED indicates active protection: speaker short circuit, overheating, or too low impedance. Check wiring, impedance, and ventilation. The amplifier restarts automatically after cooling.
How to use slave mode (bridge)?
Connect the MASTER OUT of the first amplifier to the SLAVE IN of the second. Set the switch of the first to MASTER, the second to SLAVE. Connect the speaker to the positive terminals of both amplifiers (bridge). Refer to the diagram in the manual.
What is the actual RMS power of this amplifier?
According to the manual, the RMS power is 1250 W at 4 Ω. Exact values depend on supply voltage and impedance.
Can I connect a 2 ohm subwoofer?
Yes, the amplifier is stable at 1 Ω, so a 2 Ω subwoofer is perfectly compatible. Make sure the wiring is correct and the total impedance does not drop below 1 Ω.
How to install the bass remote?
Plug the supplied remote into the REMOTE CONTROL jack on the amplifier. Place it within reach in the cabin. It allows real-time adjustment of the bass level (Bass Boost).
What to do if the amplifier does not turn on?
Check the +12V (BATT) connection, ground (GND), REM signal (must receive 12V from the head unit), and the 200A fuse status. If everything is correct, test with another REM source.

Nuclear amplifier

Due to their state-of-the-art technology and high efficiency, these Class-D mono amplifiers help your system to provide an impressive sound experience.

The digital circuit technology of the power supply and the signal processing allows achieving maximum performance levels from the provided power. Due to the different fibers and circuits a very high power output is achieved, therefore these amplifiers are made for low frequency information (Subwoofer). They can not be used for high- and midrange speakers.

The link mode enables to use to full power of two amplifiers for one speaker. This is first of all advantageous for a really powerful and lively music playback.

Features

• Class-D Design for high efficiency

• Stabilized dual power supply

• Damping factor >180 at 100 Hz 4Ω

- 16 Volt max. Voltage supply

- Linkable with 1 amplifier

• 1 Ω stable (Linkmode 2Ω)

• Full Power MOS-FET amplifier

• Power and Protection Indicator

• Variable lowpass 30 – 250 Hz

• Variable subsonic 5 – 50 Hz

- 180^ variable Phase Shift

- Aluminum heat sink

- Adjustable input sensitivity 200mV \~ 9 Volt

• RCA Inputs & Outputs

• Bassremote Control

• 0 \~ +9dB Bassboost (30 - 80 Hz)

Tools and materials you need

  • Screwdriver
    • Electric drill, 3 mm / 0.12" carbide drill bit
  • Mounting screws
    • Power wire min. 35 mm² / 2 AWG
    • Ground wire min. 35 mm² / 2 AWG
  • Speaker wire min. 2 × 4 ~mm^3 / 11 AWG

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 an additional battery (GZBP 12.2500 or GZBP 12.3500) 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: home, 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 is equipped with preamplifier outputs (RCA), it is advisable to use them.

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 and drill 4 holes. Then mount the amplifier with the mounting screws.

Warning

Chose a mounting position where all eclectic 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.

This amplifier has now internal fuse. Therefore it is absolutely necessary to connect the ANL-fuseholder (included in delivery) with its 200 A fuse. The cable length between amplifier and fuseholder must not be longer than max 20 cm / 7.9". Please see the connection diagram on the following side for correct wiring.
