WIRING CONFIGURATIONS

As you may have already guessed, there are numerous ways to configure your PowerBass EQ into your audio 
system. Spending a little time planning out your system will yield the most satisfying results. The following 
diagrams are just a few of the possibilities:

ONE SOURCE/ONE AMPLIFIER

The PowerBass AEQ-4XOA goes in the signal chain between the main head unit (or AUX) and the system’s 
amplifiers.  The most basic configuration will be with one source unit and one amplifier: 

Connect the Radio/CD source unit to the Radio Input jacks.  Make sure the Source input selector switch on 
the AEQ-4XOA front panel is in the correct position. Likewise, if only one set of RCA cables are run to your 
amplifier(s), make sure the Fader control is turned to the direction that gives you output to the jacks being used 
(clockwise for rear, counter-clockwise for front).

NOTE: If you are using a source unit that does not have RCA output (low level) jacks, a optional 
Line Level (High/Low) Converter must be connected between the speaker output (high level) leads 
and the AEQ-4XOA.  Direct connection of high level (speaker) outputs to the AEQ-4XOA will dam-
age the source unit.
