4.2 Connexions de cablejat

Refer to the wiring diagram on the unit and in the full manual for specific connections. General steps include:

  1. Potència (B+): Connect the main power wire (typically red) to the positive terminal of the vehicle's battery. Ensure an in-line fuse (not supplied, typically 15A as per product specifications, but verify with the unit's fuse holder) is installed close to the battery.
  2. Terra (GND): Connect the ground wire (typically black) to a clean, unpainted metal surface of the vehicle chassis. Ensure a solid electrical connection.
  3. Engegada remota (REM): Connect the remote turn-on wire (typically blue or yellow) to the remote output of your head unit. This signal turns the subwoofer on and off with your car stereo.
  4. Entrada d'àudio:
    • RCA (Low-Level) Input: If your head unit has RCA pre-outs, connect them to the RCA inputs on the subwoofer.
    • Speaker Level (High-Level) Input: If your head unit does not have RCA outputs, connect the speaker wires from your head unit directly to the speaker level inputs on the subwoofer's wiring harness.

  • LO-PASS (Low-Pass Filter): Sets the upper frequency limit for the subwoofer. Frequencies above this setting will be filtered out. Typically set between 50Hz and 100Hz, depending on your main speakers.
  • INTENSIFICACIÓ DELS SONS MÉS GREUS: Provides an adjustable boost to bass frequencies, usually around 45Hz. Use sparingly to avoid distortion.
  • FASE: Allows you to adjust the phase of the subwoofer output (0° or 180°) to match the phase of your main speakers. Adjust this setting to achieve the most coherent bass response.
  • REMOTE CONTROL TURN ON: Switch between DC (DC offset detection for high-level input) or AUDIO (audio signal detection for high-level input) for automatic turn-on, or ON for remote wire turn-on.
  • ENTRADA: Selects between PRE (RCA/low-level input) and SPK (speaker/high-level input).
