AMPLIFIER MOUNTING
Attention! For your own safety, disconnect the negative battery terminal (GND)
before you start any wiring work!
Before you proceed to install this AXTON amplifier, it is recommended to map
out the complete system and the respective wiring required. Consider all
additional electrical
requirements and accessories, such as power cables, interconnect cables, etc.,
to complete the installation.
The mounting location should be carefully selected and in the interest of
passive driver and passenger safety, the amplifier must be securely mounted.
Make sure that there is no wiring harness, fuel tank, etc. behind or below the
mounting surface that may be damaged by the drilling of the holes for the
amplifier mounting screws. After installation, there should be a clearance of
at least 5cm to all sides including the top of the amplifier heatsink. Make
sure the unit is not exposed to direct sunlight, humidity, water, oil, or
spill of other fluids that may enter the amplifier.
Once the location where the amplifier will be mounted is determined, use the
unit as a template for the marking of the mounting holes with a pencil or
felt-tip marker. The mounting holes should be pilot-drilled, using a 2,5 mm or
3 mm drill bit. Bolt the amp down.
CAUTION! There must not be a direct contact of the amplifier heatsink,
bottom panel or any other metal part of the amplifier to the vehicle metal
panel! Electrical ground loops will cause an audible hum!
WIRE ROUTING
MAIN POWER WIRES
We recommend a minimum main power cable cross-section (5m total length) of 16
to 20 mm², for both the positive and the ground wires. Following these
recommendations
guarantees a trouble-free operation of your amplifier, as well as full power
output. Due to the limited size of the power terminal, you will have to reduce
the cross-section of the power cable ends to around 10mm2 diameter by using a
dedicated adapter.
Run the positive main power cable („+12 V“) directly from the positive
terminal of the car battery to the amplifier. For the protection of your car
audio system against electrical fire hazards, resulting from a short-circuit
of the main power cable to the chassis ground the main fuse holder must be
inserted within the first 30 cm of the positive main power cable. The
applicable fuse value must be matched to the limitations of your main power
cable and the current draw of the amplifier – therefore choose an appropriate
fuse value.
Attach the ground cable to the amplifier. In most cases, it will be best to
keep the ground cable (GND) as short as possible, i.e. to find a chassis
contact very close to the amplifier.
The ground power wire must have the same cross-section as the positive power
cable. The contact point where the ground wire is attached must be solid and
clean, i.e. free from rust or paint!
Tighten both power input terminals of the amplifier, and double-check for the
perfect fit of both main cable leads!
RCA & REMOTE WIRES
For the best interference-free transmission of the music signal, use double or
triple shielded RCA interconnects only. Twisted pair Interconnects offer
excellent noise rejection as well.
Route the RCA interconnects away from potential sources of Interference, such
as engine computers, gas pumps, etc.
Carefully run the audio signal interconnects, the remote wire, and – if
applicable – the cable of the bass level remote control (A101 only) from the
head unit or dashboard to the
amplifier. As mentioned before, the audio signal cables should always be
routed completely separately from the power cables. Connect the remote (turn
on/turn off) lead to the respective input terminal of the amplifier and to the
remote output of your head unit. Now you can connect the RCA interconnects to
the respective outputs of your head unit and to the inputs of the amplifier by
using the provided RCA input adapter. Pay attention to connecting the stereo
interconnects correspondingly, left is 1CH, right is always 2CH a.s.o.
HIGH-LEVEL INPUT
For longer distances from the head unit to the input section, it is best to
use 1.0 mm 2 or 1.5 mm 2 speaker cables to avoid a loss of power or risk of
degradation of the signal quality. Once the speaker cables have been routed,
connect them to the speaker cable input adapter. Maintain correct polarity
(“+” to “+” and “-“ to “-“). When using the high-level input, you can choose
the Auto-Turn-On function “VOX” or “DC” instead of running a separate remote
wire to turn on the amplifier. “VOX” turns on the amplifier when it recognizes
an audio signal. “DC” is using the DC voltage of the head unit’s internal
speaker amplifier. The Axton amp will then turn on/off according to the head
unit’s state automatically. We recommend using the “DC” mode.
Cut the supplied RCA adapter to use it as a high-level input adapter. 
LOUDSPEAKER WIRES
For longer distances to the speakers, it is best to use 1.5 mm 2 or 2.5 mm 2
speaker cables to avoid a loss of power or risk of degradation of the signal
quality.
Once the speaker cables have been routed, turn loose the screws of the speaker
terminal binding posts and – after inserting the stripped and bare speaker
cable ends – re-tighten the screws. Maintain correct polarity (“+” to “+” and
“-“ to “-“).
Close the electrical circuit by attaching the ground wire to the battery and
switch on your head unit. If the status LED does not illuminate, your
installation is wrong! Immediately turn off your head unit and carefully
recheck all installation and wiring steps!
CROSSOVER ADJUSTMENTS
For the amplifier to perform best with your speakers, the electronic crossover
controls must be set and adjusted accordingly.
SELECTING THE OPERATION MODE
You must select and set the appropriate operation mode before you can proceed
to adjust crossover frequency points. This operation mode depends on the
speaker system connected to the respective amplifier channels.
➞ Select HIGHPASS, if the speaker system is a component-, coaxial- or
triaxial- type.
➞ Select LOWPASS for a woofer or subwoofer system.
➞ Select FULL, if your speaker system will handle a full range signal without
electrical or mechanical overload.
HIGH PASS CROSSOVER FREQUENCY
For satellite speaker systems, select the “HPF” mode, to cut off the bass
content in the music signal.
Highpass filtering will take away unnecessary mechanical and electrical
‘strain’ from the connected coaxial or component speaker systems. Depending on
the cone surface, voice-coil diameter, and the power handling of the speakers,
the following recommendations can be issued:
FRONT DOOR SATELLITE SPEAKER SYSTEM („HPF” MODE)| HP CROSSOVER
FREQUENCY
---|---
10 cm 2-way Component System| 160 – 200Hz
13 cm 2-way Component System| 80 – 110Hz
16 cm 2- or 3-way Component System| 50 – 80Hz
REAR SATELLITE SPEAKER SYSTEM („HPF” MODE)| HP CROSSOVER FREQUENCY
---|---
10 cm 2-way Coaxial or Component System| 160 – 200Hz
13 cm 2-way Coaxial or Component System| 100 – 120Hz
16 cm 2-way Coaxial or Component System| 100 – 120Hz
6×9” or 7×10” Triaxial Speaker System| 100 – 120Hz*
- When a subwoofer is part of the audio system installed.
LOW PASS CROSSOVER FREQUENCY
Select “LPF”, to activate the lowpass filter of the integrated electronic crossover.
The LOWPASS cut-off frequency setting depends on the woofer system and each vehicle is different! As a rule of thumb, settings between 60 to 90 Hz will usually give solid results. The woofer lowpass frequency point is mostly a matter of taste, and must therefore be ‘played by ear’.
SUBSONIC CROSSOVER FREQUENCY (A101)
Now proceed to adjust the subsonic highpass frequency. This subsonic crossover frequency point depends on the size and the power handling of the installed subwoofer system. The higher the subsonic crossover frequency is set, the better or higher mechanical power handling will result. The trade-off is reduced low-end extension! The subsonic highpass cannot be bypassed. But you can set the potentiometer to a value of 10Hz to make subsonic filtering completely inaudible.
BASS BOOST (A101)
Depending on the size and output capacity of the subwoofer system driven by the A101 amplifier, it may be sonically beneficial to turn the bass boost clockwise to the 18 dB
position, which will emphasize the 45 Hz frequency range output for more „bass punch“. The emphasis at 45 Hz causes a „fatter“ bass response, which often creates that extra bit of fun, depending on the music preferences. By emphasizing the 45 Hz range, the A101 will also limit a bit earlier, e.g. the distortion-free output is slightly reduced.
INPUT SENSITIVITY
To reach a maximum dynamic response from each individual head- unit/amplifier/speaker combination, it is important to set the respective input sensitivity controls („SENS“) of all channel pairs correctly.
Before you start, you MUST set all tone controls (Bass, Mid, Treble, Loudness, etc.) and the fader on the head unit to their neutral or center positions.
Now turn all input gain controls of the installed amplifiers counterclockwise to their minimum positions and start with the channel pair, that drives the subwoofer system.
SUBWOOFER CHANNEL(S)
Set the volume control of your head unit to approximately ¾ of full volume, while playing a dynamic piece of music. Slowly increase the input to gain control of the channel pair driving the subwoofer(s), by turning the GAIN control clockwise. Increase clockwise until the bass starts to distort. Reduce the main volume level of your head unit to a medium listening level. Proceed with further channels, if applicable.
SATELLITE CHANNELS
Slowly increase the input to gain control of the channel pair driving the satellite system, by turning the GAIN control clockwise. Increase clockwise until you reach a good tonal balance with a slight emphasis on the bass range. Repeat for all further channels.
FINE-TUNING OF ALL CROSSOVER FREQUENCY POINT SETTINGS
Finally, you can attempt to fine-tune the HP, and LP crossover frequencies on your amplifier setup, to reach the maximum tonal balance and channel integration of all loudspeakers connected to your car audio system.
