4. Instal·lació
Proper installation is critical for optimal performance and safety. Consult a professional if you are unsure about any steps.
4.1 Muntatge del Ampmés viu
- Choose a mounting location that is dry, well-ventilated, and protected from direct sunlight or excessive heat.
- Ensure the location allows for sufficient airflow around the amplifier's heat sinks.
- Assegureu-vos el amplifier firmly to a solid surface using appropriate hardware to prevent movement during vehicle operation.
4.2 Cablejat d'alimentació
- +12V (Alimentació): Connect a heavy gauge wire (e.g., 8-gauge or larger, depending on total system power) directly from the positive terminal of the vehicle's battery to the +12V terminal on the ampInstal·leu un portafusibles en línia a menys de 45 cm de la bateria.
- TERRA: Connect a heavy gauge wire of the same size as the +12V wire from the GROUND terminal on the amplifier to a clean, unpainted metal surface of the vehicle's chassis. Ensure a good electrical connection.
- COMANDAMENT: Connect a smaller gauge wire (e.g., 18-gauge) from the REMOTE terminal on the ampl'activador a la sortida d'encesa remota de la unitat principal. Aquest cable encén el ampencendre i apagar el lificador amb la unitat principal.
4.3 Signal Input Connections
- Entrada de baix nivell (RCA): For head units with RCA pre-amp outputs, connect RCA cables from the head unit's outputs to the INPUT CONTROLS (CH 1/2 and CH 3/4) on the ampmés viu.
- High-Level Input (Speaker Wire): If your head unit does not have RCA outputs, use a high-level input converter (not included) to connect speaker wires from the head unit to the ampentrades RCA del lifier.
4.4 Connexions de sortida d'altaveus
- Connect your speakers to the SPEAKER CONNECTIONS terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
- Estèreo de 4 canals: Connect one speaker to each of the four channels (CH 1, CH 2, CH 3, CH 4).
- Pont de 2 canals: For higher power output to subwoofers, bridge channels. For example, connect a subwoofer to CH 1 (+) and CH 2 (-) for one bridged channel, and another subwoofer to CH 3 (+) and CH 4 (-) for a second bridged channel. Refer to the 'BRIDGED MODE' markings on the ampmés viu.
5. Configuració i ajust
5.1 Gain Setting (LEVEL Control)
The LEVEL control matches the amplifier's input sensitivity to the output of your head unit. Incorrect gain settings can lead to distortion or damage.
- Gireu el amplifier's LEVEL controls to their minimum (counter-clockwise) position.
- Ajusteu el volum de la unitat principal al 75% aproximadament del seu màxim.
- Augmenta lentament el amplifier's LEVEL control until you hear slight distortion, then back it off slightly until the sound is clear.
5.2 Crossover Adjustment
The AC1200.4 features selectable crossovers for channels 1/2 and 3/4.
- PAS ALTA: Use for full-range speakers to filter out low frequencies, preventing distortion and improving clarity.
- COMPLET: Allows the full frequency range to pass through. Suitable for full-range speakers or when using an external crossover.
- PAS BAIX: Use for subwoofers to filter out high frequencies, ensuring only bass signals are reproduced. Adjust the LOW PASS knob to set the desired cutoff frequency.
5.3 Bass Boost (Channels 3/4)
The BASS BOOST control on channels 3/4 allows you to enhance low frequencies. Use sparingly to avoid distortion and potential speaker damage.
6. Instruccions de funcionament
