Adding a subwoofer to an OEM System:
This feature offers the Installer the ability to add an aftermarket subwoofer to an OEM system. If the
vehicle is equipped with noise canceling microphoness, they must be disabled for this type of system.
(refer to page 5)
Adding a full-range amplifier and subwoofer* to an OEM system:
Similar to adding a subwoofer as mentioned prior, except for one extra step required to configure
the harness for a full-range setup. Also note, if only adding the
AXDSP-L
to just the front or rear
channels is desired, this can be accomplished by just using the necessary front or rear speaker wires
and leaving the other speaker wires still connected.
(refer to page 6)
* Subwoofer is optional
Stand-alone Bluetooth system:
The AXDSP-L and AXDSP-BT can be used together as a stand-alone system and used in just about
any 12V DC application. Perfect applications would be classic car installations where the dashboard
cannot be altered, or in UTV vehicles. This can even be used inside a home with a 12v DC power
supply. The options are endless and only limited by ones creativity.
