1. Ensure the +12V lead is disconnected from the battery before you

connect any new equipment

2. Ensure that the amplier mounting location and holes will not interfere

with the petrol tank, brake lines or electrical wiring.

3. Ensure the amplier is securely fastened to the vehicle to prevent the

amplier moving and causing damage in the event of an accident

4. Ensure all wiring is protected from sharp objects and from pinching or

crushing which could result in damage to the audio system

5. Ensure the mounting location has sufcient air ow around the

amplier. If the amplier is mounted in an enclosed space a 3” fan with ducting should be used to assist with cooling.

6. Do not mount any amplier on a subwoofer enclosure as extended

exposure to vibration may cause damage to the amplier.

7. Ensure the minimum recommended gauge wire/cable or larger for all

8. Appropriate mounting is very important for prolonged life

expectancy of any amplier. Select a location that provides protection from moisture. Keep in mind that an amplier should never be mounted upside down. Upside down mounting will compromise heat dissipation through the heat sink and could engage the thermal protection circuit.Z-Series Ampliers © 2017 Phoenix Gold • www.phoenixgold.com Connection Ensure the audio system is turned off before making any connections to the amplier, speakers or source unit. Failure to do so could result in permanent damage to the audio system. Ensure the correct gauge cable is used for all connections; consult the cable calculator diagram below for the correct gauge cable for your installation.

Ensure ALL other cable connections are completed before connecting this cable to the battery. PHOENIX GOLD ampliers should be connected directly to the 12v battery terminal using the appropriate gauge cable. Start at the vehicles battery and run the cable through to the amplier. PHOENIX GOLD recommends the use of rubber grommets when passing any ca- ble through metal panels to avoid sharp corners or panels that could cut through the insulation of the cable. An inline fuse or circuit breaker MUST be used within 30cm (12”) of your battery; this will prevent the potential AMPLIFIER CONNECTION

Connect the other end of your power cable to the battery, but remember to leave the fuse out or circuit breaker off until all other cable connections are made.

This connection turns the amplier on and should be connected to the ‘Remote Turn on’ wire from the Head Unit. If one is not available a switched +12v source must be used, such as a power antenna wire or ACC +12v. If you are using high level (speaker) inputs and a remote turn on wire is not available, then instead the ‘Auto Turn-On’ switch must be set to ON

Connect the Ground/Earth cable for your amplier rst. Ensure that the location is a good source of ground (preferably the chassis/oor pan). Investigate the area you wish to use to ensure it is free of wiring, vacuum lines, brake and fuel lines. Use either a wire brush or sandpaper to expose bare metal, this will provide a high current contact for your ground connection. Use the same gauge cable for the ground cable as you did for the power cable. Secure the ground cable to the ground point with a bolt, star washer and nut. Apply some neutral cure silicon to the bolt and bare metal to prevent possible water leaks and rust. Connect the other end of your ground cable to the amplier.

4. Speaker Output Connection

(Z300.4 - Z150.2 - Z600.5) Ensure the correct polarity is observed when connecting speakers/subwoofers. 2 Ohm minimum speaker impedance for stereo operation (per channel). 4 Ohm minimum speaker impedance for bridged operation. 4B. Internally Linked Output (Z300.1 ONLY) The Z300.1 Monoblock amplier provides dual output connections to simplify wiring when using 2 subwoofers or a dual voice coil subwoofer. Both positive and negative terminals and internally connected or linked in parallel. For dual coil (2 x 4ohm) or two single coil (4 ohm) subwoofers connect each coil to positive or negative terminal. For a standard single coil subwoofer connect to either positive and either negative terminal. 4C.

Choose the correct length RCA cables to connect the RCA outputs of the source/head unit, to the input connectors of the amplier. Run the RCA cables on the opposite side of the vehicle. to the power cable and vehicle wiring loom. Avoid the electric fan motor and wiring. Ensure you follow the correct balance. (L LEFT = White or Black. R Right = Red)

6. Low Level RCA outputs (Z300.1 + Z1000.1 only)

Use these RCA connectors to connect to a secondary amplier. This output is a pass-thru connection from the RCA input connectors so that the signal level and frequency response is the same as the original input signal.

7. Gain/Level Control (Sub/Front/Rear)

This control is used to match the input level of the amplier to the output level of your head unit. We recommend the method below, as failure to follow these steps may damage the audio system.

1. Turn the amplier Gain to zero

2. Turn the volume of the head unit to ¾ and the bass and treble to zero

3. Adjust the amplier Gain/Level control until the desired maximum volume is

achieved without distortion.

4. Make ne adjustments to tune your install.

8. High Pass Crossover Filter

Set the crossover switch to HP and turn this control to 65Hz or above when using speaker’s smaller than 6 x 9”. When a subwoofer is used in the system, this feature is designed to lter out all low bass frequencies that only subwoofers should produce. See specication table for adjustable frequency range

9. Low Pass Crossover Filter

Ensure the crossover frequency is set at 100Hz or below. This feature must be used with a subwoofer to lter out all mid to high frequencies that only full range speakers should produce. See specication table for adjustable frequency range

10. Crossover Switch

Full - This setting is for large speakers (e.g. 6 X 9”) or speakers when a sub woofer is not included in the system. The amplied audio signal is not ltered so the full range audio signal is sent to the speakers. Low - This setting is used when using a subwoofer and will only allow frequencies below the low pass lter setting to pass through. High - Used to run mid-range speakers when a spearate subwoofer is connected. This etting will only allow frequencies above the set high pass lter setting to pass through.

11. Subsonic Filter (Z300.1 + Z1000.1)

This is a variable control that lters out all subsonic bass frequencies below the set point. These are frequencies that are not audible. These frequencies can damage subwoofers. See specication table for adjustable frequency range.

12. Bass Boost (Z300.1 + Z1000.1)

This control adjusts the bass boost at 45Hz, from 0 to +18dB. Start from 0 and slowly increase to the desired level. Use this control with extreme care as failure to do so may result in damage to the subwoofers.

13. Remote Bass Controller Port

This connection should be used with the optional remote control (ZRBC - sold separately) to adjust the bass level from any location within the vehicle.© 2017 Phoenix Gold • www.phoenixgold.com Z-Series Ampliers Z150.2 - Z300.1 - Z300.4 - Z600.5 - Z1000.1

This function switches the amplier input between Low level (RCA cable) and High level (speaker wire) connection. Where possible RCA (Low Level) connections are preferable. High The High setting is selected when the Phoenix Gold High Level adaptor (sold separately) is used to connect a full range signal from the source (head) unit speaker connections to the amplier. Simply connect the speaker wires to the input connections observing polarity and then connect the PHOENIX GOLD ZRHC to the RCA inputs on the Amplier. Low The Low setting is for RCA connection from the source (head) unit to the amplier. Connect the RCA interconnects to the appropriate Line Out connectors on the source head unit and connect to the RCA inputs of the Amplier. This is the preferred installation method, as this provides a higher quality audio signal.

Auto Turn on switch = 12V If you are using a 12V switched supply to the remote terminal of the amplier this switch should be in the off position. If you are not using a switched supply and the amplier is connected to high level inputs this switch should be in the on position

16. Power / Protect LED

1. When illuminated Green, indicates normal operation. Amplier is powered on with no

2. When illuminated Red, indicates the amplier is in protection mode / fault state. See
