ACR-3 Dash Control Installation
The AudioControl ACR-3 dash control is a dual-function remote for
your Epicenter amplifier. It may be mounted under the dash using its
own bracket, or through a custom hole in the dash. The endless knob
should be within reach of the driver, and in a spot where the two LEDs
are plainly visible. Disconnect the vehicle b12V and Ground
connections before installation.
Dash Bracket Installation:
The dash control mounts with two
screws, which attach to the underside of the dashboard. Slide
under the dash and place the dash control in its mounting
position, mark the two best mounting holes, drill pilot holes, and
secure with two screws.
Custom Installation:
For that custom, finished look, the dash control
can be flush-mounted directly on the dashboard (or anywhere
else). Disassemble the ACR-3 from its mounting bracket. Start by
pushing the LEDs from their holders, followed by removing the
circuit board and rotary control knob from the bracket. Carefully
drill a 9/32” hole in the dashboard for the control, a 1/8” hole for
the lock tab and two 13/64” holes for the LED holders. Reassem-
ble the dash control components securely onto the dash.
1. When the red LED is on, turn the remote knob clockwise to turn
the subwoofer level up, and counterclockwise to turn it down.
As it is an endless knob, turning it more than one turn clockwise
would be maximum, and more than one turn counterclockwise
is minimum. During the ‘set-up’ part of your installation, make
sure that the remote knob is turned all the way up in subwoofer
mode (red LED on) before you make any adjustments to the
amplifier. In this way you will not overdrive anything if the knob
was set at a lower level.
2. Press the remote knob, and the blue LED turns on and red turns
off. The knob can now adjust the overall level of the Epicenter
bass restoration effect. (The sweep and width are set by the con-
trols on the main unit, the remote knob sets its wet/dry level.)
