The VPA 2140 Pro must not be installed on rear shelves, rear seats or other locations that are open to the front.
The installation location must be suitable to accept the accompanying screws and provide a firm support. The amplifier power cable must be fitted with a fuse no more than 30 cm (1,18") from the battery to protect the vehicle battery in case of a short circuit between power amplifier and battery. The fuse of the amplifier protects only the amplifier, not the vehicle battery.
Use loudspeakers with 2-4 Ω impedance (see table or installation drawing). Observe the maximum power handling capacity (music output). Do not connect loudspeakers to earth, use only the referenced terminals.
The performance of an amplifier can only be as good as its installation. A correct installation increases the overall performance of your car sound system. The
VPA 2140 Pro amplifier should be installed by a trained person. If you would to install it yourself, please read these installation instructions very carefully and allow yourself sufficient time for the installation.
The amplifier is suitable for connecting a car sound system with cinch connections.
In conclusion, allow us a few words about the topic of health protection:
During the playback of music in your vehicle, please consider that continuous sound-pressure levels above 100 dB can lead to permanent damages to the human ear and even to loss of hearing. Using today's high-performance systems and loudspeaker configurations allows for reaching sound-pressure levels above 130 dB.
Please observe the following safety notes during the installation and connection.
- Disconnect the negative pole of the battery!
Observe the safety notes of the vehicle manufacturer. - When you drill holes, ensure that you do not damage any vehicle components.
For the connection to car sound systems with
ISO connection, use Blaupunkt ISO cinch adapters (7 607 893 093 or 7 607 855 094).

Installation and connection instructions
With respect to accident safety, the VPA 2140 Pro must be secured in a professional way. When selecting the installation location, select a dry location that offers sufficient air circulation for cooling the amplifier.

You can directly connect various AF sources (such as an MP3 player or mobile navigation system) via a 3.5 mm (0,35") jack plug optionally to the Direct Aux Input. All signal sources will then be heard simultaneously and their volume must be adjusted on the respective source device. Note: All AF sources must be set to Off during installation and connection! Installing the jack-plug cable

Plus / minus connection
The cross section of the plus and minus cable may not be less than 6 mm2 (5 A.W.G.). - Route commercially available plus cables to the battery and connect via fuse holder. - Use cable glands for holes with sharp edges. - Securely fasten commercially available minus cables to a noise-free earth point (chassis screw, chassis metal) (not to the minus pole of the battery). - Scrap the contact surfaces of the earth point until they are bright and grease with graphite grease.
Please use our 5 m (16.4 ft.) jack-plug cable (Order No. 7 607 001 525) to make the connection.
A special feature is that it has its own On/Off switch. Switch position is OFF (•): During installation and de-installation and when no AF source is connected. Switch position is ON (I / II): Only after an AF source has been connected. Caution: When making the connection, always set the volume control to minimum and switch off the amplifier.
Integrated fuses (FUSE)
The fuses integrated in the amplifier (FUSE) protect the power amplifier and the entire electrical system in case of an error. If a replacement fuse is used, never bridge fuses or replace them with a type with higher current.
The LEVEL control is used to adjust the input sensitivity of the power amplifier to the output voltage of your car sound system preamplifier output.

+12V The adjustment range is from 0.3 V to 8 V.
If a car sound system of a third party manufacturer is connected, the input sensitivity must be adjusted corresponding to the manufacturer data. A few important explanations in this context: By turning the control clockwise, the input sensitivity of the amplifier and, therefore, also the volume increases. However, this is not a volume control; no further amplifier output can be achieved in the end position, even if it may sound like that at the beginning. The system merely increases the volume faster if the volume control of the car sound system is turned up.
Remote connection of the amplifier with switchable +12 V voltage source.
Loudspeaker connections
This allows the amplifier to be switched on and off using the on/off-switch of the radio device.
(If the amplifier is to be jumpered, continue with the section "Bridged loudspeaker connections" at this point).
As with every audio component, the correct polarisation of amplifier and loudspeakers is of essentially importance for a good bass response. For this reason, ensure that the positive (+) connection of the amplifier is connected with the positive connection (+) of the

VPA 2140 Pro loudspeaker; the same applies to the negative (-) connections. In addition, the left amplifier channel must be connected with the left loudspeaker and the right amplifier channel with the right loudspeaker.
Bridged loudspeaker connections The VPA 2140 Pro amplifier can also be bridged for a mono configuration. This allows the amplifier to be used for one or several subwoofers or mid-range drivers. In this configuration, the amplifier combines the right and left channel to a single-channel output (mono output). Note: The amplifier can add the right and left signal information only if the right as well as the left RCA connection were carried out. Caution: In a bridge circuit, the amplifier load must be 4 ohm or higher. A lower load leads to an overheating or switch-off of the amplifier and can cause permanent damages.
Cable remote control
The scope of delivery includes a cable remote control that allows you the convenient adjustment of the bass level from your seating position.
Adjusting the type and range of the frequency crossovers
With the VPA 2140 Pro, the type of frequency crossover (i.e. "Low Pass" or "HI PASS") and the desired entry frequency can be adjusted. For example, if a pair of subwoofers is to be connected, the LOW PASS settings shown are required (Fig. 3a). The entry frequency is dependent upon the frequency range of the loudspeakers (see recommended frequency range of the loudspeakers).
CROSSOVER SELECTOR Prior to the installation, select the CROSSOVER switch
(SELECTOR) of the output stage, to adjust the low-pass filter (LP), high-pass filter (HP) or full range (OFF). In the OFF position, the full frequency response of the amplifier is used.
At a setting of 150 Hz, the amplifier has a frequency range of 10 Hz to 150 Hz.
BASS BOOST The BASS BOOST control is used to adjust the bass response of the amplifier. The adjustment range is from 0 dB to +12 dB.
SUB SONIC The subsonic filter is used for amplifier operation with a connected subwoofer. It can be activated to protect the subwoofer against mechanical overloads caused by low frequencies that fall outside the audible spectrum.
Power-on indicator (POWER / PROTECT)
Blue LED: Output stage on, regular operating status. Red LED: Output stage is electronically switched off due to an error.
Recycling and disposal
Please use the return and collection systems available to dispose of the product. Subject to changes.
This controller is active if the CROSSOVER switch is set to HP (HIGH PASS). With a setting of 250 Hz, the amplifier has a frequency range from 250 Hz to 40,000 Hz. "LOW PASS" (LP) - frequency control This controller is active if the CROSSOVER switch is set to LP (LOW PASS), and it allows setting the desired entry frequency.
