 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

  1.  This unit is designed to be used in a vehicle with a 12 V battery and negative ground. 
  2.  Before any wiring, always remove the negative terminal of the battery to prevent short-circuiting. This 

is also the last lead to be (re-)connected.

  3. Do not disassemble or alter the unit in any way, because that will also void your warranty. Do not 

attempt to repair or to service the unit yourself, but contact an authorized AXTON dealer instead.

  4.  Use only original accessories which are designed and manufactured for the unit, otherwise you will risk 

to damage it. Install the unit according to the mounting manual and use only the supplied mounting 

accessories. The forces of acceleration for accidents are sometimes huge. Incorrect mounted units are 

a big risk for the driver and the passengers of the car, during an accident.

  5.  Protect the unit from water and other liquids, which can enter the casing. A short circuit or even fire 

could be the result.

  6. Before you replace a defective fuse, try to find the cause for the short circuit. Please pay attention 

to the cables of the power supply! If the short circuit doesn‘t result from a failure of the power supply 

or wiring, you can replace the defective fuse with a new one of identical value. If the short-circuit still 

exists, please contact an authorized AXTON dealer.

  7.  Be careful not to drain the car battery while using the unit when the car engine is turned off. Because 

the unit uses a considerable amount of energy and the battery will be charged only while the engine is 

running, it might happen that the battery will discharge to a point where it‘s no longer possible to start 

the engine.

  8.  If your car is parked in direct sunlight and there is a considerable rise in temperature inside the car, 

allow the unit to cool off before operation.

  9. Please pay attention to the volume inside your vehicle, because you are obliged to notice exterior 

sounds like a police siren or you might face penalties in case of an accident or even lose your insurance 

cover. 

INSTALLATION

1.    Use the supplied cable and wire harness and connect the outputs properly as shown in the High-

Level and Low-Level wiring diagram as following. Use only one of the audio inputs; otherwise, it 

may lead to audio interference.

  A)  Take the wire side of the supplied connecting harness. Connect the white wire to the left (+), 

white/black to the left (-) speaker wire; and the grey to right (+), grey/black to the right (-) speaker 

wire. Finally connect this High-Level input adapter with the Plug&Play harness of the amplifier 

panel of the ATB25RS

1)  Wiring  Diagram1(High  level  input)

A)  With  control  via  the  High  Level  Inputs,  first  the  speaker  harness  will  need  to 

be  spliced  the  wire  side  of  the  splitter.  Then  connect  the  white  wire  to  the  left

(+),white/black  wire  to  the  left(-)(it  can  be  identified  whether  the  left  or  right 

channel  via  the  attached  harness  label),  grey  to  the  right(+),  and  grey/blace  to 

the  right(-)corresponding  vehicle  wires,  and  finally  plug  the  supplied  harness

into  the  High-Level  Inputs/power  matching  connector  on  the  amplifier  panel  of 

the  subwoofer.

2)  Wiring  Diagram2(Low  level  “RCA”  input)

B)  With  control  via  the  Low  Level  Inputs(also  referred  to  as  RCA  Inputs),connect 

the  blue  color  remote  wire  from  the  Spare  wheel  active  subwoofer  to  the  vehicle’s 

head  unit  so  The  CF-A16  will  turn  on  and  off  with  systems.
