4. Configuració i instal·lació
4.1 Muntatge del Ampmés viu
Choose a secure, dry location for mounting the amplifier, away from direct heat sources and moisture. Ensure adequate airflow around the amplifier for proper cooling. Use the provided mounting hardware to secure the amplifier firmly to a solid surface in your vehicle.
4.2 Connexions de cablejat
Proper wiring is crucial for performance and safety. Refer to the diagrams below for correct connections. Always use high-quality, appropriate gauge wiring.
Power and Speaker Terminals:

Figura 4.1: View of the power and speaker terminal panel on the DS18 S-1600.2/SL amplifier, showing connections for +12V, REM, GND, FUSE, and speaker outputs.
- +12V (Alimentació): Connect to the positive terminal of the vehicle's battery via an inline fuse (not supplied, recommended 60A).
- REM (remot): Connecteu-vos a la sortida d'encesa remota de la unitat principal.
- GND (terra): Connect to a clean, solid metal point on the vehicle chassis. Ensure a good electrical connection.
- FUSIBLE: El amplifier includes an internal fuse for protection. Do not attempt to replace with a higher ampfusible erage.
- Sortides dels altaveus: Connect your speakers to the designated positive (+) and negative (-) terminals. Ensure correct polarity.
Input and Control Panel:

- ENTRADA (RCA): Connect your head unit's RCA pre-outs to these inputs.
5. Instruccions de funcionament
5.1 Initial Setup and Adjustments
After all connections are made, proceed with the following adjustments:
- GAIN (Input Level): Start with the GAIN control set to minimum (MIN). Gradually increase the GAIN until you achieve a clear, undistorted sound at your desired volume level. Avoid setting the gain too high, as this can lead to distortion and potential damage to speakers or the ampmés viu.
- X-OVER (Crossover Switch): This switch selects the type of filter.
- HPF (filtre de pas alt): Allows frequencies above the set FREQ to pass. Useful for full-range speakers to prevent low bass distortion.
- COMPLET: Eviteu el crossover, permetent que passin totes les freqüències.
- LPF (filtre de pas baix): Allows frequencies below the set FREQ to pass. Useful for subwoofers.
- FREQ (Frequency Control): Adjusts the cutoff frequency for the HPF or LPF, depending on the X-OVER switch setting. This allows you to fine-tune the audio output to your speakers or subwoofer.
5.2 Indicadors d'alimentació i protecció
El amplifier features LED indicators on the power/speaker terminal panel:
- PWR (potència): S'il·lumina quan el ampEl transformador rep alimentació i funciona normalment.
- PRT (Protection): S'il·lumina quan el amplifier's protection circuitry is activated due to a fault (e.g., short circuit, overheating, voltage issues). If this light comes on, turn off your audio system and investigate the cause.
6. Manteniment
Per garantir la longevitat i el rendiment òptim del vostre amplificador, seguiu aquestes pautes de manteniment:
- Neteja: Netegeu periòdicament el amplifier's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure ventilation fins are free from dust and debris.
- Connexions: Regularly check all power, ground, remote, and speaker connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to poor performance or damage.
- Medi ambient: Assegureu-vos el amplifier remains in a well-ventilated area, free from excessive heat or moisture.
