4. Opsætning og installation
4.1 Monteringssted
Vælg et monteringssted, der giver tilstrækkelig ventilation til amplifier. Avoid mounting in enclosed spaces or directly on carpet. Secure the amplifier firmly to a solid surface using the provided mounting hardware to prevent movement during vehicle operation.
4.2 Ledningsforbindelser
Refer to the diagram below and the following instructions for proper wiring. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.

4.2.1 Strømtilslutning
- Connect the power cable (typically red) from the amplifier's +12V terminal to the positive terminal of the vehicle's battery.
- Install the fuse holder within 18 inches (45 cm) of the battery and insert the appropriate fuse (refer to specifications for fuse rating).
4.2.2 Jordforbindelse
- Connect the ground cable (typically black) from the amplifier's GND terminal to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the vehicle's chassis.
- Ensure the ground point is free of paint, rust, or dirt for a good electrical connection. The ground cable should be as short as possible, ideally less than 3 feet (1 meter).
4.2.3 Remote Turn-On Connection
- Tilslut fjerntændingsledningen (typisk blå) fra amplifier's REM terminal to the remote output of your head unit. This wire turns the amptænd og sluk for højttaleren med din bils lydsystem.
4.2.4 Input Connection (RCA or Speaker Level)
- RCA-indgang: Hvis din hovedenhed har RCA pre-outs, skal du tilslutte dem til amplifier's RCA INPUT terminals (CH-1(L) and CH-2(R)).
- Højttalerniveauindgang: If your head unit does not have RCA pre-outs, use the speaker level input harness. Connect the speaker wires from your head unit's speaker outputs to the corresponding wires on the amplifier's speaker level input harness.
4.2.5 Højttalertilslutning
- Tilslut din(e) subwoofer(e) til amplifier's SPEAKER OUTPUT terminals.
- Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) for optimal sound performance.
4.2.6 Remote Bass Control (Optional)
- If using an optional remote bass control, connect it to the REMOTE BASS CONTROL port on the amplivligere.
5. Betjeningsvejledning
Når den er installeret, skal du justere ampLifier-indstillinger for optimal lydgengivelse.
5.1 Betjening og justeringer
- GEVINST: This control matches the output level of your head unit to the input sensitivity of the amplifier. Start with the gain set to minimum, then slowly increase it until you achieve a clear, undistorted sound at your desired maximum volume from the head unit. Avoid setting the gain too high, as this can introduce distortion.
- LP FILTER (Low Pass Filter): Denne kontrol indstiller den øvre frekvensgrænse for amplifier's output. For subwoofers, set this to a frequency typically between 50Hz and 120Hz. This ensures that only low-frequency sounds are sent to the subwoofer, improving overall sound clarity.
- BAS EQ: This control provides a bass boost at a specific frequency. Use sparingly and adjust carefully to avoid distortion or damage to your subwoofer.
- REMOTE BASS CONTROL: If connected, this allows for convenient adjustment of the bass level from the driver's seat.
6. Vedligeholdelse
- Rensning: Tør regelmæssigt af ampRengør ydersiden af apparatet med en blød, tør klud. Brug ikke skrappe kemikalier eller slibende rengøringsmidler.
- Tilslutningstjek: Regularly inspect all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to poor performance or damage.
- Udskiftning af sikring: Hvis amplifier stops working, check the fuse in the external fuse holder. Replace it only with a fuse of the exact same type and rating. Never use a higher-rated fuse.
