SYSTEM PLANNING Before wiring up an audio system that may not achieve the sound quality you want, be sure to choose a system concept Full-Range Full-Range that fits your listening requirements. Basic systems, a receiver with internal 4x20 watts and 4 coax speakers, are adequate for many listeners. But, when you want to really “feel” the music, you will need some kind of subwoofer amplifier/speaker combination. Although many people might jump into an “add-on” amplifier to power to rear coaxial

VEHICLE WIRING VEHICLE FUSING SYSTEM FUSE CHART For safety purposes, a high current fuse (or circuit breaker) (Fuse size for total amplifier system power in “rms” watts) MUST be installed in line with the amplifiers(s) immediately at 100 W 200 W 500 W 1000 W the battery to prevent vehicle damage should the battery line in advertently shorted to the vehicle chassis. The chart at the Fuse Size 20 A 30 A 50 A 100 A right shows the recommended master fuse sizes for an (in amps) average audio system

CONNECTIONS & CONTROLS Line Level Input Crossover Low-Pass Power On Mode Frequency LED Gain Control High-Pass Bass Boost Protection Frequency LED LINE LEVEL INPUTS & OUTPUTS - The most commonly used inputs & outputs in the aftermarket are RCA type line level inputs. These can handle up to about 6 Volts rms without overdriving the amplifier. Such high voltages are rarely found from car audio head units so this is a very comfortable value. But, should the use need to drive the amp directly from

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION #1 High-Pass Full-Range Full-Range High-Pass Subwoofer 5 Channel Combo (2ch HP + 3ch passive Multi-Mode) The multi-mode system is a “poor-man’s” satellite/subwoofer system. This amplifier is able to drive speakers in stereo mode and at the same time drive low frequencies to a dedicated subwoofer speaker. By inserting inductors (coils) and capacitors, the result is an inexpensive solution to generating a ‘5' channel system with a 4 channel amplifier. Using passive component

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION #3 Full-Range Full-Range Subwoofer Full-Range Full-Range 3 Channel Combo (2ch HP + 1ch Subwoofer) Like the four channel systems as shown above, the benefits, and performance trade-offs are similar. But, this system configuration offers an additional advantage with the internal high-pass crossover. This crossover reduces the bass to the front speakers thus protecting them under heavy low frequency loads. A typical system with larger drivers in the back is then able to be

TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE Below is a basic trouble-shooting guide to assist in seeking out and correcting a problem that may occur in the installation process. Although lengthy, this chart cannot address every single problem possible but mainly the ones most common. SYMPTOM PROBABLE CAUSE OR CORRECTION No power (power light not on) ■ Check connections to amps +12 volt, ground, and remote lines. ■ Use voltmeter to verify voltages are at terminals of amp. ■ Check main power connection at battery.
