Always use an in-line fuse in the +12 V power cable in max. 12"from the
battery·s + terminal (value must meet the current requirements of the whole
sound system, minimum value is 60A).

1.5 The last connection is the remote wire.The headunit must always be

turned off during this connection, as it might be damaged when
remote output is shorted to ground!

1.6 Now you can reconnect the battery and insert the main fuse

into the power cable fuse holder.

For safety reasons, the

has to be mounted properly

and fixed to the car body. Please fix the device using the screws that come
with your product.
Be careful when drilling holes, there might be wires, fuel lines or the gas tank
behind a wall!

Before you make any connections, always disconnect the battery!
1.1 First of all, connect the RCA cables coming from the radio/headunit

to the respective inputs of your

.Always run signal cables

in a distance to power cables and the vehicle·s factory wires to avoid
induction of noise.

1.2 Now connect the signal cables from the outputs of

to the

corresponding inputs of your power amplifiers. Make sure that all
power amplifiers are in fullrange or bypass mode , that means
that all filters are off, because otherwise the filter curves of

would be overlapped.

1.3 Next step is the ground connection. Check for a good grounding

point using your vehicle·s chassis. Make sure that this point has good
electrical contact! Some parts of the chassis might only be glued
and have no contact to battery (-). Run all ground cables of the
system to this point to avoid alternator whine and other noise.

Never drill holes when you do not know what·s behind.
Never install signal wires close to power cables to avoid hum and
alternator noise is being induced.

1.4 In the next step, the +12 V cable has to be connected to the (+)

terminal of the battery. Always be careful not to run this cable
around sharp edges, the insulation might be damaged. For holes always
use grommets!

1.5 Always use an in-line fuse in the +12 V power cable in max. 12" from

the battery·s + terminal (value must meet the current requirements
of the whole sound system, minimum value is 60A).

1.6 Now you can reconnect the battery and insert the main fuse into the

power cable fuse holder.

2.1 System level / push tweeter

This function adjusts the system volume. If you keep the switch
pressed you can adjust the tweeter level in relation to the woofer
level.

2.2 X-over Freq

Adjusts the x-over frequency between tweeter and woofer.
Center position is 4.1 KHz, adjustment range is 2.3 KHz - 6.5 KHz.

2.3 Phase tweeter left, Phase tweeter right

This feature provides phase delay correction separately for each
channel. Phase correction ensures that tweeter and woofer signals
reach the ear coherently.
This results in a dynamic and spatial sound reproduction.

2.4 Woofer highpass

With this control the upper frequency limit of the bass channel can
be adjusted from 45 Hz to 250 Hz. Center position is 115 Hz.

2.5 Bass level

This feature adjusts the level of the bass channel.

2.6 Bass highpass

The option bass highpass defines the lower x-over frequency, that
means the frequency the bass range starts at. (22 Hz-160 Hz) Center
position is 90 Hz.

Caution:Always replace fuses with same value. Higher values may
cause damage to your amplifier, battery or car!
