5. Enstalasyon ak Enstalasyon
Bon enstalasyon enpòtan anpil pou yon pèfòmans ak yon sekirite optimal. Si ou pa sèten sou nenpòt etap, konsilte yon enstalatè odyo machin pwofesyonèl.
5.1 Monte a Amplifier
Choose a secure, dry location with adequate ventilation. Avoid mounting on carpet or directly to metal surfaces without insulation. Ensure the amplifier is easily accessible for wiring and adjustments.
5.2 Koneksyon fil elektrik
Refer to the diagram below for proper wiring connections. Use high-quality cables of appropriate gauge.
Figure 3: Rear panel showing power, ground, remote, fuse, and speaker output connections.
- Koneksyon kouran (B+): Connect a heavy-gauge power cable (e.g., 4 AWG) directly from the positive terminal of the vehicle's battery to the B+ terminal on the amplifier. Install an in-line fuse holder within 18 inches of the battery.
- Koneksyon tè (GND): Connect a heavy-gauge ground cable (same gauge as power) from the GND terminal on the amplifier to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the vehicle chassis. Ensure a solid, low-resistance connection.
- Aktivite a Distans (REM): Connect a remote turn-on wire (e.g., 18 AWG) from your head unit's remote output to the REM terminal on the amplifè. Sa a vire la amplimen epi etenn lifan an ak inite prensipal ou a.
- RCA Input Connection: Connect RCA cables from your head unit's pre-amp outputs to the CH1 and CH2 RCA input jacks on the amplifier.
- Koneksyon Sòti Oratè: Connect your speakers to the SPEAKER output terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). For bridged mode, connect to the designated bridged terminals.
5.3 Anviwònman Inisyal
Anvan ou limen l, mete amplifier's controls to their initial positions:
- PRAN: Set to minimum (fully counter-clockwise).
- X-KONTINYE: Set to FULL for initial setup, or LPF/HPF as needed for your speaker type.
- FREKANS: Set to the middle of the range.
- BASS BOOST: Set to 0dB.

6. Operasyon Enstriksyon
Yon fwa enstale, swiv etap sa yo pou opere ou amplifier and fine-tune your audio system:
- Pouvwa sou: Turn on your vehicle and head unit. The amplifier's power indicator LED should illuminate.
- Akeri Ajisteman: Play a familiar piece of music at a moderate volume on your head unit (around 75% of max volume). Slowly increase the amplifier's GAIN control until you hear slight distortion, then back it off slightly. This matches the amplifier's input sensitivity to your head unit's output.
- Ajisteman kwazman: Adjust the X-OVER switch and FREQUENCY knob according to your speaker type. For full-range speakers, use FULL. For subwoofers, use LPF (Low Pass Filter) and set the frequency to cut off high notes. For component speakers, use HPF (High Pass Filter) and set the frequency to cut off low notes.
- Ajisteman pou ranfòse bas: Use the BASS BOOST control sparingly. Excessive bass boost can cause distortion and damage speakers. Adjust to enhance bass response as desired, ensuring clarity.
- Remote Bass Knob: Connect the included bass remote to the 'REMOTE' port on the amplifier. This allows convenient adjustment of the subwoofer level from the driver's seat.
