Advanced Subwoofer Amplifier Interface for
for Select Chrysler / Dodge / Jeep Vehicles
APSUB-CH21
The APSUB-CH21 provides a 2-channel non-fading pre-amp output for use with an aftermarket amplifier and
subwoofer. Using the full range, fixed level head unit output, in conjunction with CAN messages, the APSUB-CH21
delivers a low pass variable 5v RMS pre-amp output with bass equalization and level control capabilities. The signal
has a 350Hz / 24dB Linkwitz-Riley low pass filter applied. A data controlled remote amplifier turn on wire is also
provided by the APSUB-CH21.
Introduction and Features
Important Notes
1.
This interface is only compatible in vehicles equipped with a data-bus controlled amplified sound system. To verify
compatibility, look for an Alpine, Beats, Infinity, or Harmon Kardon badge on the door speakers, center speaker, or factory
subwoofer grill. If none of these brands are shown; check for the presence of a center speaker or subwoofer.
2.
The factory amplifier must remain connected, and in the vehicle after the APSUB-CH21 has been installed.
3.
The remote output is rated at 2A of current. If more current is needed; an external relay must be used.
4.
The subwoofer outputs are non-fading. The output level of the subwoofer channel can be controlled using the supplied
level control knob. If the level control knob is not connected the output level will default to 100%.
5. The minimum volume level is set to a default. If you are happy with this level in your particular application then additional
adjustment is not required. Please refer to the Setup and Configuration section on page 2 for more details.
6.
The level control knob must be connected in order to manually adjust the minimum volume setting.
7.
No adjustments can be made manually using the programming button or the factory SWC when the module is connected
to a PC.
