REAR PANEL HOOK UP
1) Power Wires: Connect the three pigtail wires from the rear of the EQ as follows
Red
to +12VDC
Black
to Ground (-)
Orange
to the Remote Turn-on lead of the head unit
2) Input Jacks: The EQ has two sets of RCA style input jacks marked RADIO INPUT and AUX. The SOURCE
button on the front panel controls which input is used. The front panel AUX Input acts as a third input source
and can accommodate most MP3 players via a 3.5mm cable.
3) Output Jacks: Next to the inputs are the output RCA style jacks which should be connected to the front and
rear amplifiers, if applicable.
4) Sub Output Jacks: The sub out RCA jacks should be connected to a dedicated subwoofer (bass) mono
amplifier, if applicable.
RCA INTERCONNECTS
Choose the correct length and style of RCA interconnects for your needs (not included).
Run all of the RCA cables from the amplifiers to the location of the PowerBass AEQ-4XOA. Make sure all the
RCA cables are run on the opposite side of the vehicle from where you ran the power cables to the amplifiers.
Hiss, engine noise, and fan noise can easily be picked up through the RCA cables if run incorrectly.
Attach the RCA cables from the amplifiers to the corresponding Output jacks on the rear panel of the EQ; the
Subwoofer Output to the subwoofer amplifier, the Rear Output to the rear amplifier, and the Front Output to
the front amplifier.
Next attach the RCA cable from the output of the source to the Radio Input on the rear of the equalizer.
NOTE: Always take care not to cross power wires with the RCA cables.
