OVERVIEW
The Clarion Camouflage subwoofer system provides for the installation of a low frequency driver in an enclosure which
is powered by a small low current, high power class "D" (Digital) amplifier. The advantage to using this type of amplifier
is in the low current consumption of the amplifier at high power levels. The class "D" amplifier provided with this system
will produce a rated 100W into a 2 ohm load. The woofer supplied with this system uses a voice coil with rated impedance of 2 ohms, and therefore is not considered a standard woofer. Replacing the woofer with any driver having an
impedance greater than 2 ohms will yield lower power output from the amplifier, and is not recommended.
PROCEDURE
Proper installation of this product requires proper tools and knowledge of car audio principles. If you are not comfortable
performing any of the outlined tasks below, contact a professional installation facility to perform the work.

Ia. WIRING USING A CLARION “T” HARNESS
There are 2 methods to connect this product to the vehicle. Please refer to section Ia and Ib for each.
• STEP 1:
Remove the Radio.
• STEP 2:
Connect the "T" Harness.
A. Unplug factory wires from radio.
B. Plug the "T" harness in line with the radio wiring. SEE DIAGRAM 1.
C. Connect the BLACK wire on "T" harness to radio chassis.
• STEP 3:
Route the wire harness from the radio to the rear passenger side of the
vehicle.
•STEP 4:
Connect the amplifier ground wire to a clean chassis ground near the
subwoofer enclosure.
STEP 5:
TEST and SET the GAIN.
A. Turn on the system and be sure all speakers are working properly.
B. Set the subwoofer amplifier gain to a suitable level.
Ib. WIRING USING THE SUPPLIED HARNESS
• STEP 1:
Remove the Radio.
• STEP 2:
Connect the wires.
Yellow: Connect to Constant 12V Power
Black: Connect to Radio Ground or Chassis
Blue: Connect to Amp/Antenna Turn-on Lead
Green: Connect to Left Rear Speaker (+) Positive Lead
Green/Black: Connect to Left Rear Speaker (-) Negative Lead
Violet: Connect to Right Rear Speaker (+) Positive Lead
Violet/Black: Connect to Right Rear Speaker (-) Negative Lead
• STEP 3:
Route the wire harness from the radio to the rear passenger side of the
vehicle.
•STEP 4:
Connect the amplifier ground wire to a clean chassis ground near the
subwoofer enclosure.
STEP 5:
TEST and SET the GAIN.
A. Turn on the system and be sure all speakers are working properly.
B. Set the subwoofer amplifier gain to a suitable level.

II. RUN WIRE HARNESS
A. Run harness to the rear driver’s side wheel well hump.
III. TEST THE ENCLOSURE
A. Remove security shade from the rear cargo area.
B. Place the enclosure into the vehicle (the enclosure rests on the
two rear wheel well humps, the subwoofer will aim toward the
back of the vehicle).
C. Plug the wire harness into the enclosure.
D. Plug in the “T” harness behind the radio (or hard wire the sup-
plied ‘pigtail’ harness to the factory wiring).
E. Test for proper operation.
F. Adjust subwoofer gain (gain pod is located on the amplifier next
to the wire harness connector, and is adjustable with a Phillips
screw driver).
IV. ATTACHTHE ENCLOSURE
A. Reinstall the rear security shade.
B Position the enclosure so that it is centered between the wheel
wells.
C. Prepare the provided template by cutting out the indicated sec-
tions.
D. Mark the correct location for each of the hook bases onto each
wheel well.
E. Attach the hook base to the vehicle using the (2) supplied 1"
self-taping screws (the hook will have to be removed from its
base for this step).
F. Reattach the hook to the base.
G. Latch the hook onto the metal bracket on the enclosure.
