CONNECTION CHECK LIST
Please check your head unit for the conditions
listed below:
Remote Turn-On Lead
a. The head unit does not have a remote turn-on
or power antenna lead.
b. The head unit’s power antenna lead is activated
only when the radio is on (turns off in the tape
or CD Mode).
c. The head unit’s power antenna lead is logic level
output (+) 5V, negative trigger (grounding type),
or cannot sustain (+) 12V when connected to
other equipment in addition to the vehicle’s
power antenna.
If any of the above conditions exist, the remote
turn-on lead of your X-A90M/X-A70F/X-A90V
must be connected to a switched power source
(ignition) in the vehicle. Be sure to use a 3A fuse
as close as possible to this ignition tap. Using
this connection method, the
X-A90M/X-A70F/X-A90V will turn on and stay on
as long as the ignition switch is on.
If this is objectionable, a SPST (Single Pole,
Single Throw) switch, in addition to the 3A fuse
mentioned above, may be installed in-line on
the X-A90M/X-A70F/X-A90V turn-on lead. This
switch will then be used to turn on (and off) the
X-A90M/X-A70F/X-A90V. Therefore, the switch
should be mounted so that is accessible by the
driver. Make sure the switch is turned off when
the vehicle is not running. Otherwise, the
amplifier will remain on and drain the battery.

SWITCH SETTINGS
When performing Switch Settings, remove the Top Cover. For details, see “REMOVING THE TOP COVER”
(page 3).
• Before switching each Selector Switch, turn off the power and insert a small screwdriver, etc.,
perpendicularly to the Switch.
Subsonic Filter (X-A90M/X-A90V only)
The subsonic filter for cutting ultra low
frequencies from the input signal before being
amplified.
This is desirable for several reasons:
– To protect speakers too small or not capable
of reproducing ultra low frequencies.
– To minimize power wasted from reproducing
inaudible sound.
– To protect subwoofers in vented enclosures
from over excursion below the tuning
frequency.
Crossover Frequency Adjustment Knob
(LP FILTER) (X-A90M/X-A90V only)
Use this control to adjust the crossover
frequency between 50 to 400 Hz.
Bass EQ Adjustment Knob (X-A90M/X-A90V
only)

your bass response.
9-EN
Page 12
Input Gain Adjustment Control
Set the X-A90M/X-A70F/X-A90V input gain to
the minimum position. Using a dynamic CD as a
source, increase the head unit volume until the
output distorts. Then, reduce the volume 1 step
(or until the output is no longer distorted). Now,
increase the amplifier gain until the sound from
the speakers becomes distorted. Reduce the
gain slightly so the sound is no longer distorted
to achieve the optimum gain setting.
Crossover Mode Selector Switch (X-A70F
only)
a) Set to the “OFF” position when the
amplifier will be used for driving
full range speakers or when using
an external electronic crossover.
The full frequency bandwidth will
be output to the speakers with no
high or low frequency attenuation.
b) Set to the “HP” position when the
amplifier is used to drive a tweeter/
midrange system. The frequencies
below the crossover point will be
attenuated at 12 dB/octave.
NOTE:
• In this case the maximum Bass EQ
boost level is reduced.
c) Set to the “LP” position when the
amplifier is used to drive a
subwoofer. The frequencies above
the crossover point will be
attenuated at 12 dB/octave.
Crossover Mode Selector Switch (X-A90V
only)
a) Set to the “OFF” position when the
amplifier will be used for driving
full range speakers or when using
an external electronic crossover.
The full frequency bandwidth will
be output to the speakers with no
high or low frequency attenuation.
b) Set to the “ON” position when the
amplifier is used to drive a tweeter/
midrange system. The frequencies
below the crossover point will be
attenuated at 12 dB/octave.
NOTE:
• In this case the maximum Bass EQ
boost level is reduced.
Input Channel Selector Switch (SUBWOOFER)
(X-A90V only)
a) When this switch is placed in the
“1+2+3+4” position, all the signals
are mixed and come out from the
subwoofer. This setting provides
signal to the subwoofer channel
when only 4 channel input is
available.
b) Setting this switch to “SUB” will
send the signal at the inputs of SUB
to subwoofer of the X-A90V.
Crossover Frequency Adjustment Knob
(X-A70F/X-A90V only)
Use this control to adjust the crossover
frequency between 50 and 400 Hz.
Input Channel Selector Switch (CHANNEL-3/4)
(X-A70F/X-A90V only)
a) This switch setting is for selecting
either 2-channel or 4-channel input
mode. When set to “1/2”, signal will
be copied from CH-1/2 and sent to
CH-3/4, eliminating the need for
Y-adapters.
b) Setting this switch to “3/4” will keep
both inputs, CH-1/2 and CH-3/4
independent.
A 4-channel source is required for
this mode.

• Do not mistake the Speaker Output Lead on the head unit side connected to this unit.
Front Speaker output (L)/(R) to CH1/CH2, Rear Speaker output (L)/(R) to CH3/CH4
• For the “Speaker Input Level System” setting, connecting the Remote Turn-On Lead is not required due to
the “REMOTE SENSING” function of this product. However, the “REMOTE SENSING” function may not work
depending on the signal source connected. In such a case, connect the Remote Turn-On Lead to an
incoming power supply cord (accessory power) in the ACC position.
Important Tips on Bridging an Amplifier
Low output will result if only one channel input is used. The Y-adapter is not required if a stereo/mono pair
line output is used to drive both inputs of the bridged amp.

Cautions on Power Supply Wires
Use the specified wire size according to the total fuse capacity of the amplifier to be installed and the wire
length.
For details on the wire size to be used, refer to the supplied “Cautions on Power Supply Wires Connection”
and the following connection example.
Connection example when installing an amplifier alone
• When the wire length from the amplifier to the vehicle’s battery is 5 m
Wire size used for (A): 4 AWG/21 mm
• External Fuse capacity: Make it equal to or larger than the fuse capacity of the amplifier
X-A90M/X-A90V: equal to or larger than 90 A
X-A70F: equal to or larger than 70 A

Connection example when installing two amplifiers with a fuse capacity of 90 A
and one amplifier with 70 A
• When the wire length from each amplifier to the distribution block is 1 m
Wire size used for (B): 4 AWG/21 mm2 (or 8 AWG/8 mm2)
• When the wire length from the distribution block to the vehicle’s battery is 4 m
Wire size used for (C): 1/0 AWG/53 mm
• External Fuse capacity: Make it equal to or larger than total fuse capacity of the number of amplifiers
installed
90 A + 90 A + 70 A = equal to or larger than 250 A
