Warning

  • Do not operate any function that takes your attention away from safely driving your vehicle. Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be performed after coming to a complete stop.
    Always stop the vehicle in a safe location before performing these functions. Failure to do so may result in an accident.

  • Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear outside noises while driving.
    Excessive volume levels that obscure sounds such as emergency vehicle sirens or road warning signals (train crossings, etc.) can be dangerous and may result in an accident. Listening at loud volume levels in a car may also cause hearing damage.

  • Do not disassemble or alter.
    Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.

  • Use this product for mobile 12V applications.
    Use for other than its designed application may result in fire, electric shock or other injury.

  • Use the correct ampere rating when replacing fuses.
    Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

  • Do not block vents or radiator panels.
    Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire.

  • Make the correct connections
    Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or product damage.

  • Use only in vehicles with a 12 volt negative ground.
    Failure to do so may result in fire, etc. (Check with your dealer if you are not sure.)

  • Before wiring, disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal.
    Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to electrical shorts.

  • Do not allow cables to become entangled in surrounding objects.
    Arrange wiring and cables in compliance with the manual to prevent obstructions when driving. Cables or wiring that obstruct or hang up on places such as the steering wheel, gear lever, brake pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous.

  • Do not splice into electrical cables.
    Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to other equipment. Doing so will exceed the current carrying capacity
    of the wire and result in fire or electric shock.

  • Do not damage pipe or wiring when drilling holes.
    When drilling holes in the chassis for installation, take precautions so as not to contact, damage or obstruct pipes,
    fuel lines, tanks or electrical wiring. Failure to take such precautions may result in fire.

  • Do not use bolts or nuts in the brake or steering systems to make ground connections.
    Bolts or nuts used for the brake or steering systems (or any other safety- related system), or tanks should NEVER be used for installations or ground connections. Using such parts could disable control of the vehicle and cause fire etc.

  • Keep small objects such as bolts or screws out of the reach of children.
    Swallowing hem may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

Caution

  • Halt use immediately if a problem appears.
    Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the product. Return it to your authorized dealer or the nearest Service Center for repairing.

  • Have the wiring and installation done by experts.
    The wiring and installation of this unit requires special technical skill and experience. To ensure safety, always contact the dealer where you purchased this product to have the work done.

  • Use specified accessory parts and install them securely.
    Be sure to use only the specified accessory parts. Use of other than designated parts may damage this unit internally or may not securely install the unit in place. This may cause parts to become loose resulting in hazards or product failure.

  • Arrange the wiring so it is not crimped or pinched by a sharp metal edge.
    Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts (like the seat rails) or sharp or pointed edges. This will prevent crimping and damage to the wiring. If wiring passes through a hole in metal, use a rubber grommet to prevent the wire’s insulation from being cut by the metal edge of the hole.

  • Do not install in locations with high moisture or dust.
    Avoid installing the unit in locations with high incidence of moisture or dust. Moisture or dust that penetrates into this unit may result in product failure.

Installation

Caution
Caution on connection terminals/parts

  • Keep electrically conductive objects away from the unit’s terminals/parts (power terminals, fuses, speaker input terminals, RCA connectors, etc.). Doing so prevents a possible short circuit and damage to the unit.

Note:

  • For securing the mounting brackets to the vehicle, it may be necessary to use longer screws (not included) to accommodate carpet thickness, etc.
  • To securely connect the ground lead, use an already installed screw on the metal purl of the whence
    (marked this is a good ground by checking continuity to the battery(-) terminal. As much as possible connectable equipment same ground point. These procedures will help eliminate noise.

Connection
Before making connections, be sure to turn the power off to all audio components. Connect the red battery lead from the amp directly to the positive(+) terminal of the vehicle’s battery. Do not connect this lead to the fuse block.

Caution

    Subwoofer output phase can be set to Subwoofer
    Normal 0° (Button Out) or Subwoofer Reverse 180° (Button In).

  2. Crossover Frequency Adjustment Knob (LP FILTER)
    Use this control to adjust the crossover frequency between 50 to 150Hz.

  3. Input Gain Adjustment Control
    Note: If the Remote Bass Level Knob will be connected in your system, make sure to rotate the knob fully clockwise (set to”+”) before making the input gain adjustment.
    Set the SW-68F input gain to the minimum position. Using a dynamic CD as a source, increase the
    head unit volume until the output distorts. Then, reduce the volume 1 step (or until the output is no longer distorted). Now, increase the amplifier gain until the sound from the speakers becomes distorted. Reduce the gain slightly so the sound is no longer distorted to achieve the optimum gain setting.

  4. Power Indicator
