Introduction
Amplifiers provide high-performance sound reinforcement for your mobile audio
equipment. It’s versatility enables compatability with optional Equalizer, Frequency
Dividing Network Crossovers and other audio processors in a customized system.
The Multi-Mode bridging capabilitis allow felxibility in hosting several differnet
speaker configurations.
To achieve optimum performance , it is highly recommend that you read this Owners
manual before the installation.
Tools and materials you need
•
Screwdriver
•
Electric drill, 3mm
•
Mounting screws
•
Power wire min. 20mm²
•
Groud wire min 20mm²
•
Speaker wire min. 2 x 1,5 mm²
Attention
•
As a precaution; it is advisable to disconnect the vehicle’s battery before making connection to the
+12 Volts supply wiring (see owner’s manual of your car for further information!)
•
Do not drill holes into the tank, the brake pipe, wires or other important parts of the vehicle
•
Never pass wires over sharp angles. It is reccomended to buffer the power supply of the amplifier
with an capacitor min. 1 Farad.
WARNING
High powered audio systems in a vehicle are capable of generating „Live Concert“ high levels of
sound pressure, Continued exposure to excessively high volume sound levels may cause hearing
loss or damage. Also, operation of a motor vehicle while listening to audio equipment at high
volume levels may impair your ability to hear external sound such as; horns, warning signals,or
emergency vehicles, thus constituting to a potential traffic hazard. In the interest of safetay,
Consumer Electronics recommends listening at lower volume levels while driving.
Planning your System
Before beginning the installation, consider the following:
a) If you plan to expand your system by adding other components sometime in the future, ensure da equate
space is left, and cooling requirements are met.
b)If your radio/source is equipped with Pre-Amp outputs, it is recomended to utilize them to drive the amplifier
c) Are your components matched? The peak power rating of your speakers must be greater than the
Amplifiers.They also must be 2-8 Ohms impedance (This information os normally printed on the speaker magnet)
Consider both the length of your leads, and routing when chosing the mounting location. Pre-Amp input jacks
require a length of high quality shielded male to male RCA patch cord.
Mounting your amplifier
a)
Select a suitable location that is convenient for mounting, accessible for wiring and has enough
room for air circulation and cooling.
b)
Use the amplifier as a template to mark the mounting holes, remove the amplifier and drill 4 holes,
use extreme caution, inspect underneath surface before drilling.
Wiring connection
Attention!
mind. 20mm² wires are necessary for power connection
1.) Ground
: Ground connection should be passed directly to the car body as short as possible (max. 1m)
2.) +12 Volt:
Power connection should be passed directly to the battery. Please pay attention on a correct fuse
protection of the installation with an Inline device with a max. wire length to the battery of 30 cm.
3.)
Remote turn on
: This connection is getting connected with the remote control line of the radio. It is used for
turning on and off the amplifier.
Warning
Investigate the layout of you automobile thoroughly before drilling or cutting any holes. Take care when you work
near the thanks, lines, or hydraulic lines, and electrical wiring. Don’t mount this system so that wire connections
are unprotected or are subject to pinching or damage from nearby objects.
The +12 Volt DC power wire must be fused at the battery positive terminal connection. Before making or breaking
power connections at this system power terminals, disconnect the +12 Volt wire at the battery end.
Confirm your radio / cassette player and / or other equip, mount is turned off while connecting the input jacks
and speaker terminals.
If you need to replace the power fuse, replace it only with a fuse identical to that supplied with the system. Using
a fuse of different type or rating may result in damage to this system which isn’t covered by the warranty.
