To keep your PowerBass Electronic Crossover running at top performance, choosing the proper location is of
utmost importance. The crossover should also be protected from exposure to moisture and direct sunlight.
The best place to mount your crossover is a convenient location which will allow access to the inputs and other
variable controls. Be sure that the power and signal cable connections can enter and leave the crossover in a
straight line to avoid the risk of kinked wires causing malfunction.
You may use the crossover as a template and mark the four screw locations with a felt tip pen. Use caution
to make sure there are no objects behind the installation surface that may become damaged during drilling.
Power Wiring and Signal Connections
The potential of your XEX-23 crossover is unlimited. When mated with our PowerBass amplifiers, subwoofers
and separates the XEX-23 can deliver sonic reproduction that rivals a live performance. The following pages
give just a few examples of popular system configurations; however you are not limited to just these. For
more exotic system layouts, consult with your local PvowerBass Xtreme dealer.
Be extra careful when routing your RCA audio interconnect cables. Car environments are notorious for poorly
insulated wires. This means that hiss, engine noise, and fan noise can easily be picked up through RCA
cables if run incorrectly.
Make sure that the cables for power and audio signal are not on the same side of the vehicle and that they
do no cross each other; this will help reduce any noise that may radiate from the power cable and the signal
cable. If an audio cable is too close to a power cable, it may pick up the magnetic field generated by the
power cable, which could lead to a loss of quality in your signal.
If RCA interconnects must cross power cables, noise can best be avoided by crossing them
between 45° and 75°.
