antenna
lead.
b.
The

If
any of the above conditions
exist, the remote turn-on
lead
of your PWE-SB must be
connected to a switched power source (ignition)
in
the
vehicle.
Be sure to use a 3A fuse as
close
as
possible
to this ignition tap. Using this connection method, the
PWE-SB
will
turn on and stay on as long as the ignition
switch
is
on.

E Remote Bass Level Knob
Allows
the user to adjust the
overall
bass
level
of the
subwoofer.
Turning the remote bass

towards(+)
increases
the
overall
subwoofer level,
while turning the bass
level
knob towards
(-)decreases
the
overall subwoofer
level.
(Note:
PWE-SB
can be used without connecting the
remote bass level knob. However, overall subwoofer level
cannot be adjusted from the listening position.)
If this is
objectionable,
a
SPST (Single Pole, Single Throw)
switch, in addition to the
3A
fuse mentioned above, may be
installed in-line
on the PWE-S8 turn-on
lead.
This switch
will
then be used to turn on (and off) the PWE-S8. Therefore, the
switch
should
be mounted so that is
accessible
by the driver.
Make sure the switch is turned off when the
vehicle
is not
running. Otherwise, the subwoofer
will
remain on
and
drain the
battery.
