General precautions
Protection Circuitry
Before installing and using your new
amplified subwoofer, please
become familiar with all the information contained in this manual.
Please keep this manual in a safe
place for future reference.
Do not open or attempt to repair this
unit yourself. Dangerous high voltages
are present which may result in electric
shock. Refer any repairs to a qualified
service technician.
To avoid risk of electronic shock or
damage to the unit, do not permit any
of this equipment to become damp or
wet from water or drinks. If this does
occur, immediately unplug the power
wires and send the product to your
local dealer or service center as soon
as possible.
If there is smoke or any peculiar odor
presentduringuseor if thereis damage
to any of the component enclosures,
immediately unplug the power cord
and send the product to your local
dealer or service center as soon as
possible .
SHOCK HAZARD!
Do not open the case of this product.
There are dangerous voltages present
within the unit. There are no userserviceable parts within the unit.
The built-in amplifier incorporates
special protection circuitry which will
disable the amplifier if any of the
following should occur:
Input overload
Short circuit
Extremely high temperatures
If any of these conditions is detected,
the amplifier will go into a selfpreservation mode, and the PROTECT
LED on the control panel will glow in
RED color.
What should I do if the POWER STATUS
LED is RED?
If you observe that the POWER STATUS
LED IS RED, please check the system
carefully to determine what has caused
the protection circuit to engage.
To reset the amplified subwoofer when
it is in PROTECT mode, turn the power
off to the system (usually by turning off
the head unit or other signal source
which feeds the amplifier) and then turn
it on again.
If the internal amplifier has shut down
due to thermal overload, you should first
allow it to cool down before restarting.
If the shut down was due to either an
input overload or a short circuit, be sure
to correct these conditions before
attempting to power up the subwoofer
again.

Installation precautions
Mounting the subwoofer
Before you drill or cut any holes,
investigate your car’s layout very
carefully. Take special care when you
work near the gas tank, fuel lines,
hydraulic lines and electrical wiring.
Never operate the subwoofer when it
is unmounted. Attach all audio system
components securely within the
amplifier to prevent damage, especially
in an accident.
Do not mount this product so that wire
connections are unprotected, in a
pinched condition, in contact with any
metal surfaces in your vehicle, or likely
to be damaged by nearby objects.
Before making or breaking power
connections in your system,
disconnect the vehicle battery. Confirm
that your head unit or other equipment
is turned off while connecting the input
jacks and speaker terminals.
1. Find a suitable location in the vehicle
in which to mount the amplifier. A
typical location is shown below:
Vehicle seat
Make sure there is sufficient air
circulation around the intended
mounting location. Position the
subwoofer enclosure where you wish
to install it. Make some small marks
to identify the position and remove the
unit.
If you need to replace the power fuse,
replace it only with a fuse identical to
that supplied with the product. Using
a fuse of a different type or rating may
result in damage to your audio system
or your amplifier which is not covered
by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Fuses
Power fuses protect both the amplifier
and the electrical system of your car
from fault conditions. If you must
replace a fuse in your
powered subwoofer, use a fuse of
exactly the same type and rating. Using
a different type or rating of fuse may
result in damage to your amp or vehicle
or cause a fire.
