5.2 Conexións de cableado
Follow these steps for secure and correct wiring:
- Cable de alimentación (+12 V): Connect the 17FT Translucent Blue Power Wire from the vehicle's positive battery terminal (via the Mini-ANL/AFS Fuseholder & Fuse, installed within 18 inches of the battery) to the +12V terminal on the amplifier. Ensure a secure, crimped connection.
- Cable de terra (GND): Connect the 3FT Translucent Silver Ground Wire from the GND terminal on the ampo adaptador a unha superficie metálica limpa e sen pintar no chasis do vehículo. Asegúrese de que a conexión sexa sólida e de baixa resistencia.
- Remote Turn-on Wire (REM): Connect the 16FT Blue Remote Turn-on Wire from the REM terminal on the amplifier to the remote output of your head unit or other switched 12V source. This wire turns the ampacende e apaga o activador coa unidade principal.
- Entrada RCA: Connect the 17FT Translucent Blue Twisted Pair RCA interconnects from the RCA output of your head unit to the INPUT RCA terminals (L/R) on the amplifier. For bridged input, use the BRIDGE IN RCA terminal.
- Saída do altofalante: Connect your subwoofer(s) to the MONO OUTPUT MIN 1 Ohm terminals on the amplifier using the 20FT Translucent Speaker Wire. Observe correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). Ensure the total impedance of your subwoofer(s) is 1 Ohm or higher.
- Control remoto do nivel do subwoofer: Plug the included remote bass knob into the REMOTE port on the ampmáis vivo.
5.3 Montaxe
Choose a mounting location that provides adequate ventilation and is secure. Avoid mounting the amplifier directly to carpet or in enclosed spaces without airflow. Use the provided mounting hardware to firmly attach the amplifter a unha superficie sólida no seu vehículo.
6. Instrucións de funcionamento
Unha vez instalado, axuste o ampaxustes do lifter para un rendemento sonoro óptimo.
6.1 Axuste dos controis
- GANANCIA (Nivel de entrada): Este control coincide co amplifier's input sensitivity to the output of your head unit. Start with the gain at minimum (fully counter-clockwise). Play a familiar track at about 75% of your head unit's maximum volume. Slowly increase the gain until you hear distortion, then back off slightly.
- LPF (filtro paso baixo): This filter allows only frequencies below the set point to pass through to the subwoofer. Adjust this knob (40Hz-180Hz) to blend the subwoofer's output with your main speakers. A common starting point is 80Hz.
- SUBSONICO: This high-pass filter removes extremely low frequencies that are below the audible range or harmful to your subwoofer. Set it to OFF or 50Hz, depending on your subwoofer's capabilities and enclosure tuning.
- FREQ (Bass EQ Frequency): This knob (30Hz/80Hz) selects the center frequency for the Bass BOOST.
- BOOST (Bass EQ Level): This control (0dB/12dB) increases the output at the selected FREQ. Use sparingly to avoid distortion and potential damage to your subwoofer.
6.2 Control remoto do nivel do subwoofer
The included remote level control allows you to conveniently adjust the subwoofer output level from your driving position. This control only adjusts the output level and does not affect the amplifier's gain setting.

7. Mantemento
The STINGER MT20001 ampO lificador require un mantemento mínimo para garantir un rendemento a longo prazo.
- Limpeza: Limpar periodicamente o ampo exterior do lifador cun pano suave e seco. Non empregue produtos químicos agresivos nin produtos de limpeza abrasivos.
- Comproba as conexións: Annually, inspect all power, ground, remote, RCA, and speaker connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can cause performance issues or damage.
- Ventilación: Asegúrese de que o amplifier's cooling fins remain clear of obstructions to maintain proper heat dissipation.
