• LED DE PROTECCIÓN: Ilumina cando o ampo lifier está en modo de protección.
• REMOTO: Port for connecting the wired remote bass knob.
• ENTRADA (RCA): Audio signal input from your head unit or source.
• BRIDGE IN: Usado para conectar múltiples amplifiers (refer to advanced setup).
• GAÑA: Axusta a sensibilidade de entrada do ampmáis vivo.
• LPF (filtro paso baixo): Adjusts the low-pass crossover frequency (40 Hz ~ 180 Hz).
• SUBSONICO: Adjusts the subsonic filter frequency (0 Hz ~ 50 Hz).
• BASS BOOST FREQ: Selects the center frequency for bass boost (30 Hz, 40 Hz, 60 Hz).
• BASS BOOST: Adjusts the level of bass boost (0 dB ~ 12 dB).
• LED POWER: Ilumina cando o ampo lifier está acendido.

4.2 Power and Speaker Terminal Panel

• PONENTE: Output terminals for connecting your subwoofer(s).
• POTENCIA (+12 V): Connects to the positive terminal of the vehicle's battery.
• REM (Remoto): Connects to the remote turn-on output of your head unit.
• GND (terra): Connects to a solid chassis ground point in the vehicle.

5. Instalación

5.1 Montaxe do Ampmáis vivo

Choose a mounting location that is dry, well-ventilated, and secure. Ensure there is sufficient airflow around the amplifier to prevent overheating. The amplifier can be mounted horizontally or vertically. Use the provided mounting screws to secure the amplifter a unha superficie sólida no seu vehículo.

5.2 Conexións de cableado

Proper wiring is crucial for optimal performance and safety. Refer to Figure 3 for terminal locations.

1. Conexión de alimentación (+12 V): Run a heavy-gauge power cable (e.g., 4-gauge or larger) directly from the vehicle's positive battery terminal to the amplifier's +12V terminal. Install an in-line fuse holder with an appropriate fuse (not included) within 18 inches (45 cm) of the battery.
2. Conexión a terra (GND): Run a heavy-gauge ground cable (same gauge as power cable) from the amplifier's GND terminal to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the vehicle's chassis. Ensure a good electrical connection by scraping away any paint or rust. The ground cable should be as short as possible, ideally less than 3 feet (1 meter).
3. Conexión de activación remota (REM): Connect a smaller gauge wire (e.g., 18-gauge) from the amplifier's REM terminal to the remote turn-on output of your head unit. This wire tells the ampactivar cando a unidade principal estea activa.
4. Conexión de entrada RCA: Connect RCA cables from the pre-out outputs of your head unit to the INPUT RCA jacks on the ampmáis vivo.
5. Conexión do altofalante: Connect your subwoofer(s) to the SPEAKER output terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). The amplifier is stable down to 1 Ohm. Consult your subwoofer's specifications for proper wiring configurations to achieve the desired impedance.
6. Control remoto de graves: Plug the remote bass knob cable into the REMOTE port on the amplifier and mount the knob in a convenient location for adjustment.

6. Funcionamento

6.1 Encendido inicial

After all connections are made and verified, reconnect the vehicle's battery. Turn on your head unit. The POWER LED on the amplifier should illuminate. If the PROTECT LED illuminates, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

6.2 Axuste AmpConfiguración do lifier

Adjust these settings carefully to optimize sound quality and prevent damage to your speakers.

• GAÑA: Start with the GAIN control at minimum. Play a familiar piece of music at a moderate volume on your head unit. Slowly increase the GAIN until you hear distortion, then back off slightly. This sets the ampa sensibilidade de entrada do adaptador para que coincida coa saída da unidade principal.
• LPF (filtro paso baixo): Adjust the LPF to filter out frequencies above your desired subwoofer range. A common starting point is 80-100 Hz. This ensures only low frequencies are sent to your subwoofer.
• Filtro SUBSONICO: This filter removes extremely low frequencies that your subwoofer cannot reproduce efficiently, preventing damage and improving sound quality. Set it slightly below your subwoofer's port tuning frequency or around 25-30 Hz for sealed enclosures.
• BASS BOOST FREQ & BASS BOOST: Use these controls to enhance bass output at a specific frequency. Start with Bass Boost at 0 dB and adjust only if needed. Excessive bass boost can cause distortion and damage.

6.3 Botón de baixo remoto

The remote bass knob allows you to adjust the subwoofer output level conveniently from your listening position. This control typically acts as a master volume for the subwoofer channel, allowing you to fine-tune bass levels without accessing the amplifier directamente.
