5.2 Connexions de cablejat

Totes les connexions de cablejat s'han de fer amb la bateria del vehicle desconnectada.

5.2.1 Power Connection (+12V)

Connect a suitable gauge power wire directly from the vehicle's positive battery terminal to the +12V terminal on the amplifier. An inline fuse holder with the appropriate fuse rating (refer to specifications) must be installed within 18 inches (45 cm) of the battery.

5.2.2 Connexió a terra (GND)

Connect a wire of the same gauge as the power wire from the GND terminal on the amplifier to a clean, solid metal point on the vehicle's chassis. Ensure the connection point is free of paint, rust, or debris for optimal conductivity.

5.2.3 Connexió d'encesa remota (REM)

Connect a 18-gauge wire from the REM terminal on the amplifier to the remote turn-on output of your source unit (head unit). This wire signals the amplifier to turn on and off with the source unit.

5.2.4 Connexions d'entrada

The CXA8001 amplifier supports both low-level (RCA) and high-level (speaker-level) inputs.

• Entrada de baix nivell (RCA): Connect RCA cables from the subwoofer output of your source unit to the INPUT RCA jacks on the ampmés viu.
• Entrada d'alt nivell (nivell d'altaveu): If your source unit does not have RCA outputs, connect the speaker wires from your source unit directly to the INPUT terminals on the ampAssegureu-vos de la polaritat correcta.

5.2.5 Speaker Output Connection

Connect your subwoofer(s) to the SPEAKER terminals on the amplifier. Ensure the total impedance of the connected subwoofers is within the amplifier's stable operating range (1-Ohm minimum). Observe correct polarity for all speaker connections.

6.1 Control de guanys

El control de GUANY coincideix amb el amplifier's input sensitivity to the output level of your source unit. To set the gain:

1. Turn the GAIN control on the amplifier all the way down (counter-clockwise).
2. Turn the source unit volume up to about 75% of its maximum level.
3. Slowly increase the GAIN control on the amplifier until you hear slight audible distortion, then back it off slightly.

6.2 Low-Pass Filter (LPF) Crossover

The LPF control sets the upper frequency limit for the subwoofer. Frequencies above this setting will be filtered out. Adjust this control to blend the subwoofer's output seamlessly with your main speakers.

6.3 Bass Boost (KickEQ)

The BASS BOOST control provides an adjustable low-frequency enhancement. Use this sparingly to add impact to your bass. Excessive bass boost can lead to distortion and potential damage to your subwoofers.

6.4 Filtre subsònic

The SUBSONIC FILTER removes ultra-low frequencies that are below the audible range and can cause subwoofers to over-excurt without producing useful sound. This protects your subwoofers and improves overall sound quality. Adjust this to a frequency slightly below the tuning frequency of your ported enclosure, or around 25-30 Hz for sealed enclosures.

7. Manteniment

The Kicker 46CXA8001 amplifier requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines:

• Inspeccioneu periòdicament totes les connexions del cablejat per assegurar-vos que estiguin ben fixades i que no presentin corrosió.
• Mantenir el ampEl lificador està net i lliure de pols i restes. Feu servir un drap suau i sec per netejar-lo.
