4. Features and Controls Overview
The DS18 S-3500.1D/SL amplifier features a range of controls for fine-tuning your audio system.
4.1. Control Panel (Rear View)
Image 4.1: Rear panel with input and control settings.
- COMANDAMENT: RJ45 port for connecting the wired remote bass knob.
- CLIP: Indicator light for signal clipping. Adjust gain to prevent this light from illuminating consistently.
- IMPULS: Bass boost control (0dB to 18dB at 45Hz).
- SUBSÒNIC: Adjustable high-pass filter for subwoofers (10Hz to 80Hz). Filters out ultra-low frequencies that can damage subwoofers.
- LPF (filtre de pas baix): Adjustable low-pass filter (55Hz to 250Hz). Allows only frequencies below the set point to pass to the subwoofer.
- FASE: Phase switch (0° or 180°). Adjust to match the phase of other speakers in the system.
- GUANY: Input sensitivity control (MIN to MAX). Matches the amplifier's input to the output of your head unit.
- ENTRADA: RCA audio input jacks (Left and Right).
4.2. Power and Speaker Terminals (Front View)

- + 12V: Positive power input terminal. Connects to the vehicle's positive battery terminal via an inline fuse.
- REM (remot): Remote turn-on input terminal. Connects to the head unit's remote output.
- GND (terra): Ground input terminal. Connects to a clean, bare metal chassis point on the vehicle.
- PWR/PRT: Power (green) and Protection (red) indicator lights. Green indicates normal operation, red indicates a fault.
- FUSIBLE: Fuse holders for ampprotecció de lifier.
- SORTIDA DE L'ALTAVEU: Speaker output terminals. Connects to your subwoofer(s).
5. Instal·lació
Una instal·lació correcta és crucial per al rendiment i la longevitat del vostre amplifier. If you are not confident in your ability to perform the installation, seek professional assistance.
5.1. Ubicació de muntatge
Trieu una ubicació de muntatge que:
- Provides adequate airflow around the amplificador per evitar el sobreescalfament.
- Is secure and protected from moisture, dust, and direct sunlight.
- Allows for short cable runs to the battery and speakers.
- Does not interfere with vehicle operation or safety features.
Common mounting locations include under a seat, in the trunk, or on a custom ampbastidor lifier.
5.2. Connexions de cablejat
Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent power loss or intermittent operation.
5.2.1. Cablejat d'alimentació
- Terra (GND): Connect a heavy-gauge wire (e.g., 4 AWG or larger) from the amplifier's GND terminal to a clean, bare metal point on the vehicle's chassis. Ensure the connection point is free of paint, rust, or dirt. The ground wire should be as short as possible, ideally less than 3 feet (1 meter).
- Potència de +12 V: Connect a heavy-gauge wire (e.g., 4 AWG or larger) from the amplifier's +12V terminal directly to the vehicle's positive battery terminal. Install an inline fuse holder within 18 inches (45 cm) of the battery, using a fuse rated appropriately for the amplifier (refer to specifications).
- Engegada remota (REM): Connecteu un cable de calibre més petit (per exemple, 18 AWG) des del ampel terminal REM del lificador a la sortida d'encesa remota de la unitat principal. Aquest cable indica el amplificador per encendre i apagar amb la unitat principal.
5.2.2. Audio Input (RCA)
Connect RCA cables from the pre-out jacks of your head unit to the INPUT RCA jacks on the amplifier. Use high-quality shielded RCA cables to minimize noise.
5.2.3. Sortida dels altaveus
Connect your subwoofer(s) to the SPEAKER OUTPUT terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). The S-3500.1D/SL is a monoblock amplifier, designed for a single subwoofer or multiple subwoofers wired to a compatible impedance (typically 1 Ohm stable).
5.2.4. Remote Bass Knob
Connect the remote bass knob to the REMOTE port on the amplifier using the provided cable. This allows for convenient adjustment of bass level from the driver's seat.
6. Instruccions de funcionament
After completing the installation, follow these steps for initial setup and operation:
- Initial Gain Setting: Turn the GAIN control on the amplifier to its minimum (MIN) position.
- Head Unit Volume: Puja el volum de la unitat principal fins a aproximadament un 75% del seu nivell màxim.
- Ajust de guany: Slowly increase the GAIN control on the amplifier until you hear slight distortion or the CLIP indicator light flickers. Then, back off the gain slightly until the sound is clear and the CLIP light remains off during normal listening.
- Crossover Settings (LPF & SUBSONIC):
- Set the LPF (Low Pass Filter) to a frequency appropriate for your subwoofer and main speakers, typically between 80Hz and 120Hz. This ensures the subwoofer only plays low frequencies.
- Set the SUBSONIC filter to protect your subwoofer from playing frequencies below its resonant frequency, usually around 20Hz to 30Hz.
- Intensificació dels sons més greus: Use the BOOST control sparingly. Excessive bass boost can lead to distortion and potential damage to your subwoofer. Adjust to taste, ensuring sound remains clear.
- Fase: Experiment with the PHASE switch (0° or 180°) to find the setting that provides the most impactful and coherent bass response with your other speakers.
7. Manteniment
The DS18 S-3500.1D/SL ampEl purificador requereix un manteniment mínim. Seguiu aquestes pautes per garantir la seva longevitat:
- Mantenir el ampEl lificador està net i lliure de pols i restes. Feu servir un drap suau i sec per netejar-lo.
- Ensure that the cooling fins are not obstructed to allow for proper heat dissipation.
- Comproveu periòdicament totes les connexions del cablejat per verificar si estan ben ajustades i si hi ha corrosió.
- No utilitzeu productes químics o dissolvents per a la neteja.
