Protection Mode
When protection mode triggers, the red LED on the subwoofer turns on and the subwoofer shuts down.
One of the following reasons can trigger protection mode: input overload, short circuit and extremely high
temperature.
When the red LED turns on, take the following measures.
• Check the audio system carefully to determine what has caused the protection mode to trigger.
• Reset the subwoofer. Turn off the subwoofer (by turning off the head unit or other audio source which feeds
the subwoofer) and turn it on again.
• If the shutdown was due to either an input overload or a short circuit, correct the conditions which cause the
overload or short circuit then turn on the subwoofer again.
Placement
• Find a suitable location in the vehicle to place the subwoofer. A common location is in the trunk of a car or
behind the seat of a truck, as shown below.
• Make sure there is sufficient air circulation around the subwoofer.
• Place the subwoofer in the location away from moisture, and where connection cables are not pinched or
damaged by sharp objects.

Wiring
See the section “Installation Precautions” on page 3.
For safety, disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle battery prior to wiring.
Use only high quality wires for reliable installation to minimize signal or power loss.
Make sure wires are not squeezed or damaged by sharp edges. Use rubber bushings for
penetrations.
Make sure all the cables are securely connected and bare wires are properly insulated.
Reconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle only when all wire connections are correctly and
securely made.
