5.1. Col·locació
The ETON USB 10 AR is designed for underseat installation due to its compact dimensions. Ensure there is at least 77 mm of vertical clearance. Choose a location that does not obstruct vehicle controls or air vents and allows for secure mounting.
5.2. Connexions de cablejat
Abans de fer qualsevol connexió, desconnecteu el terminal negatiu de la bateria del vehicle.
- Connexió d'alimentació: Connect the main power cable (typically red) to the vehicle's positive battery terminal. Install the provided fuse holder with the 10 A fuse as close to the battery as possible. Connect the ground cable (typically black) to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the vehicle chassis.
- Encès remot: Connect the remote turn-on wire (if available from your head unit) to the corresponding terminal on the subwoofer. If your head unit does not have a remote turn-on output, the subwoofer can use its high-level input sensing to turn on automatically.
- Entrada d'àudio:
- RCA (Low-Level) Input: If your head unit has RCA pre-outs, connect them to the RCA inputs on the subwoofer.
- Entrada d'alt nivell: If your head unit does not have RCA outputs, use the high-level input. Connect the speaker wires from your head unit (or vehicle's speaker wiring) to the high-level input terminal block on the subwoofer. Ensure correct polarity.
- Comandament a distància per cable: Plug the wired remote control into its dedicated port on the subwoofer.

After all connections are made and verified, reconnect the vehicle's negative battery terminal. Turn on your car's audio system. The subwoofer should power on automatically if connected correctly.
6.2. Ajustaments
