WHAT’S IN THE BOX

ACCESSING CONNECTORS AND CONTROL PANEL

MOUNTING THE AMP

Note: It is recommended that you make all wire connections before permanently mounting the amp.

IMPORTANT: Disconnect the vehicle’s negative (–) battery
terminal before beginning the installation.

• Always wear protective eyewear when using tools.
• Choose a safe mounting location, away from moisture. Check clearances on both sides of a planned mounting surface. Be sure that screws or wires will not puncture brake lines, fuel lines, or wiring harnesses and that wire routing will not interfere with the safe vehicle operation. Use caution when drilling or cutting in the mounting area.
• Choose a location that provides enough air circulation.
• Do not mount the amplifier with the heat sink facing downward, as this interferes with cooling.
• Mount the amplifier so that it will not be damaged by the feet of backseat passengers or shifting cargo in the trunk.

WIRING FOR POWER AND GROUND

At amplifier:

At ground location:

WIRING FOR INPUT SIGNAL

Low-level signals

Note: when using low-level signals and remote turn-on lead, set the “TURN-ON MODE” switch to “REM” and the “INPUT LEVEL” switch to “LO”.

High-level signals

Note: when using high-level signals, set the “TURN-ON MODE” switch to “DC” and the “INPUT LEVEL” switch to “Hill. If no sound plays, change the “INPUT LEVEL” switch to “H12”

CONNECTING TWO REFERENCE 10001A AMPLIFIERS FOR EXTRA POWER

To connect two Reference 10001a amplifiers, use an RCA patch cable to connect the “PRIMARY OUT” of the primary amplifier to the “SECONDARY IN” of the secondary amplifier. Set the Primary/ Secondary switch to “PRIMARY” on the primary amplifier, and to “SECONDARY” on the secondary amplifier.

WIRING FOR AUDIO OUTPUT

One subwoofer (4ohm/2ohm)

Two subwoofers (4ohm)

CONNECTING THE REMOTE BASS CONTROLLER

SETTING GAIN, CROSSOVERS, AND BASS BOOST

TROUBLESHOOTING

No audio and POWER INDICATOR is off.

• No voltage at BATT+ and/or REM terminals, or bad or no ground connection. Check voltages at amplifier terminals with VOM.

No audio and PROTECT INDICATOR flashes every 4 seconds.

• DC voltage on amplifier output. Amplifier may need service; see enclosed warranty card for service information.

No audio and PROTECT and POWER INDICATORS flash.

• Voltage less than 9V on BATT+ connection. Check vehicle charging system.

No audio and PROTECT INDICATOR is on.

• Amplifier is overheated. Make sure amplifier cooling is not blocked at mounting location. Or, there may be voltage greater than 16V (or less than 8.5V) on BATT+ connection. Check vehicle charging system.

Amplifier fuse keeps blowing.

• The wiring is connected incorrectly or there is a short circuit. Check wiring connections.

Distorted audio.

• Gain is not set properly. Check setting. Check wires for shorts or grounds. Amplifier or source unit may be defective.

Distorted audio and PROTECT INDICATOR flashes.

• Short circuit in speaker or wire. Remove speaker leads one at a time to locate shorted speaker or wire, and repair.

Music lacks dynamics or “punch”.

• Speakers are not connected properly. Check speaker connections for proper polarity.

Engine noise—whining or clicking—in system when the engine is on.

• Amplifier is picking up alternator noise. First, check ground connection on the amplifier – a loose or improper ground is one of the main causes for noise. Turn down gain. Move RCA audio cables away from power wires. Installing an alternator noise filter on power line between battery and alternator might also be necessary.
