GUIDED TOUR OF 61S The Top View Figure 3: Top View Of The 6XS 1) Inputs: The 6XS has three pairs of inputs; FRONT, REAR, AND SUBWOOFER. These inputs should get their signals from the main source unit/head unit. If your source unit has front, rear, and subwoofer outputs (aka "six channel"), connect them to the identical inputs on your 6XS.

2) Outputs: These RCA connectors should be connected to the amplifier(s) that are in your system. Depending upon your system configuration, you mayor may not need to use all of the outputs. 3) Power Connectors: This nifty connector is a godsend to anyone who has tried to wire up their gear with their head crammed in a trunk. You can wire up the power, ground, and remote tum-on while conveniently standing outside your car and then casually plug it in the back of your 6XS.

WIRING THE AUDIO (without coHee) As you may already have guessed, there are numerous ways to configure the 6XS in your audio system. Spend a little quality time planning out your system and even sketching it out on paper if you can.

AutoMode Inputs: If your source unit has front, rear, and subwoofer outputs (aka "six channel"), connect them to the identical inputs on your 6XS. However, if you are only using front and rear signals (four channel) or just two channels, the Auto Mode circuitry in your 6XS will automatically feed your subwoofer channel with signal from your front inputs.

TROUBLESHOOTING No Power: If the Power LED on your 6XS will not tum on, check to make sure that the power wire and remote tum on wires are connected or a fuse has not blown. Sounds Distorted: Should your system sound distorted or your speakers are moving way too much, you should first decrease the remote level control and output levels on your 6XS.
