Installationsvejledning
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your HERTZ DBA 201 subwoofer. Follow these steps carefully:
- Vælg et monteringssted: Select a secure, dry location in your vehicle, such as the trunk or under a seat, that allows for adequate ventilation and does not obstruct vehicle operation. Ensure the subwoofer is firmly mounted to prevent movement during driving.
- Afbryd batteriet: Before making any electrical connections, disconnect the negative (-) terminal of your vehicle's battery to prevent short circuits.
- Strømledninger:
- Connect the main power wire (typically red) from the subwoofer's wiring harness to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle's battery. Use an appropriate fuse holder (included) as close to the battery as possible.
- Connect the ground wire (typically black) from the subwoofer's wiring harness to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the vehicle's chassis. Ensure a good electrical connection.
- Connect the remote turn-on wire (typically blue or yellow) to the remote output of your car stereo. If your stereo does not have a remote output, you can use the "Auto Sense" feature (see Operating section).
- Lydsignalindgang:
- RCA (Low-Level) Input: If your car stereo has RCA pre-outs, connect them to the RCA input jacks on the DBA 201 using the provided RCA cable.
- Input på højt niveau: If your car stereo does not have RCA pre-outs, use the high-level input wires from the wiring harness. Connect these wires directly to your car stereo's speaker outputs (e.g., rear left and right speaker wires). Ensure correct polarity.
- Remote Level Control Installation: Mount the remote level control in a convenient location within reach of the driver. Connect its cable to the "REMOTE CONTROL" port on the subwoofer.
- Sikker ledningsføring: Route all wires safely away from moving parts, sharp edges, and heat sources. Use cable ties or clips to secure them.
- Gentilslut batteri: Once all connections are made and secured, reconnect the negative (-) terminal of the vehicle's battery.
