Panel controls and features

A.POWER STATUS LED

B.PHASE SHIFT

Use this switch to help compensate for time
alignment problems in the system. Such
problems usually result from having the
subwoofer at a different distance from the
listener than the other speakers in the system.

C.AUTO POWER ON

D.LOW PASS FILTER

his control alows you fine tune the frequency
range you want the subwoofer amplifier will
receive.

F.INPUT GAIN CONTROL

After you have installed your system, turn this
control to minimum.

Turn the head unit on (and the subwoofer will
turn on via the remote connection). Turn the
head unit volume to about 2/3 full level.

Slowly turn up the subwoofer input gain control
until you hear a small amount of distortion. Then
reduce the level until the distortion is completely
gone. Level the control at this setting.

G.REMOTE LEVEL CONTROL

Attach the included remote level control to
control the volume level of the subwooer
independently.

H.HIGH LEVEL (speaker level) INPUTS

If your head unit does not have RCA outputs
you can use the speaker outputs for the audio
source for the subwoofer. Use the supplied
cable and wire harness and connect the
outputs properly as shown in the connection
diagram in this manual.

I.LOW LEVEL RCA INPUTS

Low level inputs are the recommended way
to introduce the audio signal into your subwoofer.

J.FUSE

K.POWER INPUT TERMINAL

This bi-color LED glows green when power is
on and no problems are present. If one of the
protection circuits comes on, it will change to
red.

Do not use a fuse with a different value
other than the origional value.

T

E.BASS BOOST

he BASS BOOST feature will increase the
sound level in the bass frequencies.

The AUTO POWER ON(ON/OFF) is for high
level(speaker-level) connections. When the
switch is in the “ON” position, the subwoofer
will AUTO POWER ON when there is signal
input. If the amplifier detects no signal input,
the amplifier will auto power off. If you prefer
to use the remote turn on/off connection,
leave switch in the “OFF” position.

If RCA outputs are present on your head unit

Low Level Input Wiring

Low-level (RCA) input wiring is preferred for best audio performance. Most trunk
or hatchback installations will require a 15-20 feet RCA cable, while pickup trucks
and under-seat installations will require a 6-12 feet RCA cable. Always use a
high quality cable.

NOTE: Do not connect BOTH the high level and low level inputs from your
receiver to your amplifier at the same time!

T

High Level Input Wiring

he high level input(s) should only be used when your receiver lacks RCA outputs.
If the RCA outputs are not present, connect the speaker outputs from the receiver
to the high level input connector of the amplifier. Be sure to observe polarity to
avoid audio phase

problems.

NOTE: Do not connect BOTH the high level and low level inputs from your
receiver to your amplifier at the same time!

Power Connections

Connect the ground terminal to the closest point on the chassis of the vehicle.
Keep this ground wire to less than 12" (30.5 cm) in length. Use 8 gauge
(or heavier) wire.

Connect the remote terminal to the remote output of head unit using 16 gauge
( or heavier ) wire.

Connect an fuse holder within 18" (45 cm) of the car battery, and run 8 gauge
(or heavier) cable from this fuse to the amplifier location. Then connect the fuse
holder to the "BATT+" (+12V) connection on the subwoofer rear panel.
