Signal Connections
Choose the input and output that work best in your application (balanced line XLR or TRS, or unbalanced RCA).
When using XLR or ¼” TRS cables, be sure the signal wires have adequate shielding. If RCA style connectors are
chosen, make sure the cables have either multiple layers of shielding or twisted pair wiring for the best noise
rejection (consult your dealer).
Be extra careful when running the signal cables. Car environments are notorious for poorly insulated wires. This
means that hiss, engine noise, and fan noise can easily be picked up if ran incorrectly. As a precaution, avoid
placing the signal cables near large wire looms and electric fans whenever possible.
Starting at the source, connect the signal cables to the source output. Run the cables to the location of the CFQ31M
avoiding entanglement between the signal cables and the power wires. Connect the signal cables to the inputs
making sure you maintain correct balance (red is right and black or white is left) on both the radio and the crossover
By now you have finished installing the unit(s) into the vehicle. Reconnect your battery and install a 3-amp fuse
into the fuse holder.
