))) XENITH SERIES AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION GUIDE
Thank you for purchasing this Cadence Xenith Series amplifier. Cadence has been producing quality car audio electronics for more than 16 years and while so many car audio brands have come and gone, Cadence has withstood the test of time which is a testament to our success. But we know that our success couldn’t have been achieved with out you our customer whose faith in our brand has taken us so far.
))) XENITH POWER AND PROTECTION CIRCUITRY: Xenith Series amplifiers feature our unique IC controlled protection circuitry. This sophisticated circuit constantly monitors the heat sink internal temperature and various voltages, adjusting the amp automatically and protecting it from dangerous conditions.
PROTECTION CIRCUITRY: Cadence amplifiers incorporate many outstanding protection circuits to help protect the amplifier from being damaged during operating conditions. Thermal Protection: When the amplifier reaches an unsafe operating temperature of 80 degrees Celsius the amplifier will turn off.
))) XENITH The wire harness should be made of red primary cable of at least 8 gauge for the Xa125.2 and at least 4 gauge for all other larger models. The harness should terminate in a large ring terminal for connection directly to the positive terminal of the car battery. Use a spade plug to attach the wire, which connects to the amplifier location marked 12V+. A second black color wire of equal gauge should be used as a ground connection to a welded chassis member.
ADJUSTING THE SYSTEM Once the system is operational, the first thing to do, is set all crossover points to approximate settings. In the case of the basic sub woofer system Low Pass filter crossover at 100 Hz or so. Set the Bass Boost equalizer controls to 0 dB ( Flat Switch Position.) Now you should set the amplifiers Input Sensitivity adjustment. The knob accessible on the side of the amplifier marked INPUT GAIN adjusts the input sensitivity from 200mV to 8Volts.
))) XENITH MOUNTING THE AMPLIFIER: Choose a convenient mounting location with unobstructed airflow. The Xenith amplifiers feature four mounting holes located at the amplifiers four corners. Remove the 4 caps which are factory installed in the amplifier side trim panels. Insert the screws and tighten. You should first drill a pilot hole in the location where you wish to mount your amplifier so that when you go install the mounting screws they install easily and straight.

POWER / GROUND / REMOTE WIRING - MONO BLOCK SUBWOOFER Xenith Mono Block amplifiers are 2 ohm stable mono blocks. For installation ease we have provided two sets of terminals, but these terminals are wired in parallel inside the amp. Therefore when wiring two woofers, each woofer should never be less than 4 ohm per terminal. When using one 2 ohm woofer you can use any single + and - terminal. Remote turn on from head unit.
