5.2 Conexións de cableado

All wiring connections should be made with the vehicle's battery disconnected.

5.2.1 Power Connection (+12V)

Connect a suitable gauge power wire directly from the vehicle's positive battery terminal to the +12V terminal on the amplifier. An inline fuse holder with the appropriate fuse rating (refer to specifications) must be installed within 18 inches (45 cm) of the battery.

5.2.2 Ground Connection (GND)

Connect a wire of the same gauge as the power wire from the GND terminal on the amplifier to a clean, solid metal point on the vehicle's chassis. Ensure the connection point is free of paint, rust, or debris for optimal conductivity.

5.2.3 Remote Turn-On Connection (REM)

Connect a 18-gauge wire from the REM terminal on the amplifier to the remote turn-on output of your source unit (head unit). This wire signals the ampactivador para acender e apagar coa unidade fonte.

5.2.4 Conexións de entrada

The CXA8001 amplifier supports both low-level (RCA) and high-level (speaker-level) inputs.

• Entrada de baixo nivel (RCA): Connect RCA cables from the subwoofer output of your source unit to the INPUT RCA jacks on the ampmáis vivo.
• Entrada de alto nivel (nivel de altofalante): If your source unit does not have RCA outputs, connect the speaker wires from your source unit directly to the INPUT terminals on the amplifador. Asegúrese de que a polaridade sexa correcta.

5.2.5 Speaker Output Connection

Connect your subwoofer(s) to the SPEAKER terminals on the amplifier. Ensure the total impedance of the connected subwoofers is within the amplifier's stable operating range (1-Ohm minimum). Observe correct polarity for all speaker connections.

6. Funcionamento e axustes

Unha vez instalado, o amplifier's settings can be adjusted to optimize sound performance.

6.1 Control de ganancia

O control de GANANCIA coincide co amplifier's input sensitivity to the output level of your source unit. To set the gain:

1. Active o control de GANANCIA no amplifier all the way down (counter-clockwise).
2. Turn the source unit volume up to about 75% of its maximum level.
3. Aumente lentamente o control de GANANCIA no amplifier until you hear slight audible distortion, then back it off slightly.

6.2 Low-Pass Filter (LPF) Crossover

The LPF control sets the upper frequency limit for the subwoofer. Frequencies above this setting will be filtered out. Adjust this control to blend the subwoofer's output seamlessly with your main speakers.

6.3 Bass Boost (KickEQ)

The BASS BOOST control provides an adjustable low-frequency enhancement. Use this sparingly to add impact to your bass. Excessive bass boost can lead to distortion and potential damage to your subwoofers.

6.4 Filtro subsónico

The SUBSONIC FILTER removes ultra-low frequencies that are below the audible range and can cause subwoofers to over-excurt without producing useful sound. This protects your subwoofers and improves overall sound quality. Adjust this to a frequency slightly below the tuning frequency of your ported enclosure, or around 25-30 Hz for sealed enclosures.

7. Mantemento

The Kicker 46CXA8001 amplifier requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines:

• Inspeccione periodicamente todas as conexións do cableado para garantir que estean seguras e libres de corrosión.
• Manteña o ampManteña o purificador limpo e libre de po e residuos. Use un pano suave e seco para a limpeza.
• Asegurar un fluxo de aire axeitado arredor do amplifier para evitar o sobrequecemento.
