2. Dual Stereo Configurations

For systems without rear subwoofers, the user may prefer to use two

Maxx

Bass

®

Processors, one for the front speakers and one for the rear

speakers. The units should be wired between the in-dash CD Receiver and the
power amplifiers as shown below.

NOTE:

As an option, before beginning, disconnect the

negative (-) terminal of the battery to prevent an electrical
short to ground. Reconnect the negative terminal only after
all connections have been made.

WIRING PROCEDURES

The next step is to connect the Power, Ground, and Remote IN/OUT wires to
your 

Maxx

Bass

®

Processor. The power wire should run from the mounting

location through the vehicle to the battery or power distribution block.
Avoid sharp corners, creases, and sharp body parts. When passing through
any metal wall (i.e. firewall, etc.), a grommet must be used to prevent the
wire from chafing and shorting to ground.
