Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and safety. It is recommended to have this system installed by a qualified professional if you are not experienced with car audio wiring.
5.1. Allgemeine Verdrahtungsrichtlinien
- Batterie abklemmen: Always disconnect the negative terminal of your vehicle's battery before starting any wiring.
- Montageort: Choose a secure, dry, and well-ventilated location for the amplifier. For motorcycle applications, ensure it fits securely within the fairing.
- Kabelführung: Route power, ground, and signal cables separately to minimize noise interference. Avoid sharp edges and moving parts.
- Fixierung: Install the provided 100 Amp fuse holder within 18 inches of the battery's positive terminal.
5.2. Amplifier Wiring Steps
- Stromanschluss: Connect the 17 ft 4 AWG blue power wire from the fuse holder (connected to the battery's positive terminal) to the amplifier's +12V terminal.
- Masseanschluss: Connect the 4 ft 4 AWG gray ground wire from the amplifier's GND terminal to a clean, bare metal chassis point on the vehicle. Use the self-tapping bolt and washer to ensure a secure connection.
- Ferneinschaltung: Connect the 17 ft 16 gauge remote wire from your head unit's remote output to the ampDer REM-Anschluss des Verstärkers. Dieser Draht schaltet den ampVerstärker mit dem Autoradio ein- und ausschalten.
- Signaleingang: Use the 16.4 ft KI RCAs to connect the head unit's RCA outputs to the amplifier's RCA inputs. If your head unit does not have RCA outputs, the amplifier's high-level input can be used (refer to the amplifier's specific wiring diagram for high-level input).
- Lautsprecherausgang: Schließen Sie Ihren/Ihre Subwoofer an den/die an amplifier's speaker output terminals using the 12 ft Q Series 12 AWG speaker wire. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
5.3. Dual Bass Remote Installation
Mount the dual bass remote in a convenient location within reach of the driver. Connect the remote to the amplifier's remote input jack (typically a 3.5mm input) using the provided cable. This remote allows for real-time adjustment of bass levels.
6. Bedienungsanleitung
