XIA SERIES
INSTALLATION
Amplifier Connections
Speaker Connections
Connect speaker wires observing
polarity. The minimum impedance
load for the XIA2340 and XIA2460
is 2 ohms (stereo) and 4 ohms
(bridged). Use of loads lower than
these is not recommended and
may cause amplifier damage.
The XIA2340 and XIA2460 can be
wired for stereo, bridged or
stereo/bridged simultaneous
operation.
NOTE:
For stereo/bridged
simultaneous operation, consult a qualified professional for further information.
Input Signal Connections
Low Level Input (RCA)
Low level (RCA) input signal is preferred for best performance. Typical trunk-mount
amplifier installations require a 17-20 foot RCA cable. Most trucks and under-seat
applications require a 6-9 foot RCA cable. Using twisted pair construction RCA cables will
minimize noise.
High Level Input (Speaker Wire)
High level inputs should only be used
when RCA outputs are not available
from the head unit. Connect the head
unit speaker outputs to the high level
input connector as shown below. The
black wire (signal reference ground)
may or may not require a connection to
chassis ground - depending on your
particular installation.
Subwoofer
Typical Bridged Wiring
(4 ohms minimum)
2 Speakers
Typical Stereo Wiring
(2 ohms minimum)
CAUTION
Do not use both low and high level outs at the same time - connect only one or the other.
