Operation Manual

4.2 RCA & REMOTE WIRES

Carefully run the audio signal interconnects and the remote wire and from the head-unit to the ampli-

fier. As mentioned before, the audio signal cables should always be routed completely separate from

the power cables. Connect the remote (turn on/turn off) lead to the respective input terminal of the

amplifier and to the remote output of your head-unit. Now you can connect the RCA interconnects to

the respective outputs of your head-unit and to the inputs of the amplifier. Pay attention to connect the

stereo interconnects correspondingly,

left is 1CH, right is always 2CH a.s.o.

4.3 LOUDSPEAKER WIRES

Once the speaker cables have been routed, turn loose the screws of the speaker terminal binding posts

and – after inserting the stripped speaker cables – re-tighten the screws. When baring wires for con-

nection, remove approximately 6-8mm of the insulation and after axially twisting the wires, insert the

bare ends into the corresponding speaker terminal output on the amplifier. Maintain

correct pola-

rity („“ to „“; „“ to „“).

5. INPUT LEVEL ADJUSTMENT

To reach a maximum in dynamic response from each individual head-unit/amplifier/speaker combi-

nation, it is important to set the respective input level controls („GAIN“) of all channel pairs correctly.

Before you start, you MUST set all tone controls (Bass, Mid, Treble, Loudness etc.) and the fader

on the head unit to their neutral or center positions.

Now turn all input gain controls of the installed amplifiers anti-clockwise to their minimum positions

and start with the channel pair, that drives the subwoofer system.

➡ SUBWOOFER CHANNEL

Set the volume control of your head-unit to approximately 3/4 of full volume, while playing a dyna-

mic piece of music. Slowly increase the input gain control of the channel pair, that drives the subwo-

ofer(s), by turning the GAIN control clockwise until you can just about hear distorted sounds coming

out of your subwoofer system. Reduce the main volume level on your head-unit to a medium listening

level.

➡ SATELLITE CHANNELS

Slowly increase the input gain control of the channel pair, that drives the loudspeaker system installed

in the front doors, by turning the GAIN potentiometer of the 1/2-CH section clockwise, until you reach

a good tonal balance with a slight emphasis of the bass range. Aim at a full bodied bass response.

Now slowly turn up the input GAIN control potentiometers of all the remaining channel pairs - until

you reach a good tonal balance of all speakers installed in your vehicle.
