IMPORTANT NOTES PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

• Attach the device to the spare wheel well of the vehicle using the included threaded rod and mounting bracket as described on page 34. Make sure that the device cannot come loose while driving and that it is screwed tightly.
• During installation, make sure that no parts that are standard in the vehicle, such as cables, on-board computers, seat belts, tank or similar parts, are damaged or removed.
• All cables should be kept as short as possible to avoid losses and interference.
• Protect the device from moisture, dust and dirt.
• Make sure that the input/output cables are far enough away from the power supply cables, otherwise interference may occur.
• The performance and reliability of the sound system depends on the quality of the installation. It is best to have the installation carried out by an installation specialist.

CAUTION

Before you start with the installation, disconnect the ground (−) terminal of the vehicle battery to avoid short circuits and damage.

POWER SUPPLY AND TURN-ON CABLE

Connect the connector GND [1] of the included 2-pin power plug with a suitable ground connection point on the vehicle body. To do this, use a suitable power cable with a sufficient cross-section.

Then connect the connector +12V [2] of the included 2-pin power plug with the positive pole of the battery. To do this, use a suitable power cable with a sufficient cross-section.

Ideally, the +12V cable should also be protected with a separate 30 A fuse [3]. For safety reasons, the cable length from the positive terminal of the battery to the first fuse should be less than 30 cm.

Finally, connect the turn-on cable of the car radio to cable REM [4] of the included 10-pin cable plug.

If there is no turn-on cable available, you must use the automatic turn-on function [7] in conjunction with the high level inputs [6].

LOW LEVEL INPUT

If your car radio has RCA preamplifier outputs, connect each of these to the RCA jacks LINE INPUT LOW LEVEL [5] of the included 10-pin cable plug.

HIGH LEVEL INPUT

If your car radio does not have RCA preamplifier outputs, you must use the high level inputs on LINE INPUT HI LEVEL [6]. To do this, extend the corresponding speaker cables of the car radio with high-quality speaker cables to the installation location. Then connect the appropriate speaker cables to the open cable ends of the included 10-pin cable plug.

AUTO TURN-ON

If there is no turn-on cable from the car radio available, you must use the automatic turn-on function. To do this, switch AUTO TURN-ON [7] to ON.

The automatic turn-on function only works in conjunction with the high level inputs on LINE INPUT HI LEVEL [6]. This function may not be able to be used with older car radios.

With the included cable remote controller, the bass level can be adjusted e.g. can be controlled from the driver's seat. Connect the remote controller with the included cable at REMOTE [8].

STATUS LED

The POWER PROTECT LED [9] lights up green, when the device is ready for operation and it lights up red, when the device is overheated or an error has occurred. After cooling down, the device should work again. If the error persists, please note the information in the section TROUBLESHOOTING.

LOW PASS FILTER

You can use the controller LOW PASS [10] to set the desired crossover frequency. This means that only the frequencies below the set crossover frequency is played and the subwoofer plays more precisely and more powerfully.

BASS BOOST

Use the controller BASS BOOST [11] to adjust the bass level increase between 0 -12 dB. Use this controller carefully and avoid distorted playback.

SUBSONIC FILTER

With the controller SUB SONIC [12] you can adjust the lower crossover frequency, to filter the very low frequencies to relieve the subwoofer. If you don't want to use this function, turn the controller to the very left to the 10 Hz position.

INPUT SENSITIVITY

Turn the controller INPUT LEVEL [13] counterclockwise to the MIN position. Then turn the volume control on the car radio to 80% - 90% of the maximum volume. Now slowly turn the controller INPUT LEVEL [13] clockwise until you hear slight distortion from the speakers. Then turn the controller INPUT LEVEL [13] back a little until you can no longer hear any distortion.

PHASE SWITCH

Using the switch PHASE [14], the phase can be switched to 0^ or 180^ in order to equalize the sound waves produced by the subwoofer with the main speakers.

TROUBLESHOOTING

First check the fuse of the installed power cable on the vehicle battery

The fuse is defective?

Replace the defective fuse with one of equal value, but never with a higher value.

- The fuse fails again. In this case there appears to be a short circuit between the fuse and the device. To do this, check the entire length of the +12V power cable from the battery to the device for damage and whether there is a short circuit to ground, e.g. a contact with the vehicle chassis or body. If necessary, replace the defective power cable.

The fuse is apparently okay?

Use a standard 12 volt voltmeter to check the voltage between the +12V connection and the ground connection on the device.

- There is no voltage. Use the voltmeter to check the fuse located near the vehicle battery to see if there is voltage between the output and ground. If there is no voltage there, either the fuse holder or the fuse is defective, even though it appears to be okay. If necessary, replace the fuse holder or fuse.

- There is voltage. If you operate the device with a preamplifier signal (RCA), you must have laid a turn-on cable (REM) frowA turn-on cable (REM) is connected to the REM connection of the device.

Use the voltmeter to check whether there is voltage between the device's REM terminal and ground. The car radio must be switched on.

There is no voltage.

- Check the turn-on cable from the device to the car radio for a short circuit or damage. If necessary, replace the turn-on cable.

There is voltage.

• The device is probably malfunctioning or defective. Contact your specialist dealer.

If you operate the device with the speaker signals (high level), the AUTO TURN-ON switch must be switched to ON.

• The AUTO TURN-ON switch is in the ON position, but the device remains off.

Check the speaker cables from the car radio to the device for short circuits or damage. If necessary, replace the speaker wires or insulate the damaged area.

PROTECT LED IS ON

Check the following steps:

The cross-section of the power cables is too small

If the cable cross-section is too small, this leads to an increased ohmic resistance and thus to a voltage drop (voltage loss). This indicates that the amplifier consumes more power. The increased power consumption results in a significantly higher heat development and the amplifier switches to thermal protection mode. If necessary, lay power cables with a larger cable cross-section.

The amplifier is overheated

Every amplifier requires sufficient air circulation to be able to dissipate the heat generated during operation. If necessary, change the installation position in favor of better cooling of the amplifier or ensure better air circulation at the installation location.

Turn off the sound system and wait about half an hour for the amplifier to cool down again. With very hot outside temperatures and strong sunlight, enormous heat develops inside the vehicle. The amplifier then activates its thermal protection circuit to prevent damage. After cooling down, the amplifier works properly again.

TROUBLESHOOTING

NO SOUND / POWER LED IS ON

Check the following steps:

Low level mode: Are the RCA cables on the car radio and the device connected correctly?The RCA cables are connected correctly.An RCA cable could be defective. Check the function of the RCA cables on another audio device. If necessary, replace the defective RCA cable.

High level mode: Are the speaker cables connected correctly to the car radio and the device's high level inputs or to the high level cable connector?The speaker cables are connected correctly.A speaker cable could be defective. If necessary, replace the speaker cable or insulate the damaged area.

Are the settings on the car radio set correctly?Check the fader and balance settingsCheck whether mute is enabledCheck whether a high-pass or low-pass filter is activatedCheck whether playback is pausedCheck source signal settingsCheck whether any subwoofer output is activated

AUDIBLE DISTORTION OR HISSING NOISES

Check the following steps:

Is the input level controller on the device set too high?Slowly turn the controller down until you hear a clean audio signal.

Is the bass boost on the device set too high?Slowly turn the controller down until you hear a clean audio signal.

Is the loudness function on the car radio set too high?Disable loudness or turn down the loudness setting until you hear a clean audio signal.

Are the EQ and sound settings on the car radio set too high?Turn down the treble, mid and bass settings or turn off the equalizer until you hear a clean audio signal.

AUDIBLE NOISES (ENGINE SPEED-DEPENDENT)

Check the following steps:

Have the RCA cables been laid separately from the power cable in the vehicle?If necessary, re-route the cables and make sure that the RCA cables are laid separately from the power cable on the left and right of the vehicle.

Is the ground connection of the device connected correctly?Make sure that the ground connection of the device is not connected directly to the negative terminal of the vehicle battery. Select a suitable ground point on the vehicle body to connect. If necessary, use contact spray to improve the conductivity of the connections.

Is the conductivity of the vehicle battery ground cable to the body okay?Make sure that the ground connection of the vehicle battery has a stable and conductive connection to the body. If necessary, use contact spray to improve the conductivity of the connections.
