Introduction
With the Z8150,we are introducing
a slim-profile amplified subwoofer.
Slim enough to fit underseat or in a hide
away location. It is a quick and easy
way to add a high-powered subwoofer
solution to your audio system.
The integrated amplifier in the
subwoofer features both subsonic
and low pass crossovers, and a control
for adjusting the input sensitivity from
0.2V to 6V.
Both high level (speaker level) and low
level (RCA type) inputs are present,
making this a universal solution for use
with any head unit or other input
source.
For further flexibility in the use of a
subwoofer, a variable bass boost
control has been included. You can
control the subwoofer level with the
remote level control module.

What should I do if the POWER STATUS

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.
