This bi-color LED glows green when power is on and no problems are present. If
one of the protection circuits comes on, it will change to red.
B. PHASE SHIFT

Such problems usually result from having the subwoofer at a different distance
from the listener than the other speakers in the system.
C. AUTO POWER ON
This switch controls the use of RGB lights.
Press the switch and it will remain in constant light mode when no music
signal is connected. Input music signal, the color of the LED light and the
light flashing mode will change with the music. When the switch is turned off,
the LED light stops working.
Warning: This product has RGB light flickering effect, please do not stare directly at the light for a long time, so as to avoid eye discomfort
D. LOW PASS FILTER
This control permits you define the frequency range you want the subwoofer
amplifier to receive. The subwoofer will reproduce all sound BELOW the
frequency you set.
Note: The low pass filter frequency can be higher or lower than the standard. There have +1-20% tolerance.
E. BASS BOOST
The BASS BOOST feature will increase the sound level in the bass frequencies.
F. INPUT GAIN CONTROL
After you have installed your system, turn this control to minimum.
Turn the head unit on (and the subwoofer will turn on via the remote connection). Turn the head unit volume to about 2/3 full level. Slowly turn up the subwoofer input gain control until you hear a small amount of distortion. Then reduce the level until the distortion is completely gone. Level the control at this setting.
G. REMOTE LEVEL CONTROL PORT
Attach the included remote level control to control the volume level of the
subwooer independently.
H. HIGH LEVEL (speaker level) INPUTS
If your head unit does not have RCA outputs you can use the speaker outputs
for the audio source for the subwoofer. Use the supplied cable and wire
harness and connect the outputs properly as shown in the connection diagram
in this manual.
I. LOW LEVEL RCA INPUTS
Low level inputs are the recommended way to introduce the audio signal to the
subwoofer if RCA outputs are present on your head unit or other signal source
(such as a sound processor).
J. FUSE
Do not use a fuse with a different value and NEVER replace the fuse with a
wire or coin.
K. POWER INPUT TERMINAL
Low Level Input Wiring
Low-level (RCA) input wiring is preferred for best audio performance. Most
trunk or hatchback installations will require a 15-20 feet RCA cable, while
pickup trucks and under-seat installations will require a 6-12 feet RCA cable.
Always use a high quality cable.
NOTE: Do not connect BOTH the high level and low level Inputs from your receiver to your amplifier at the same time/
Fig.1
High Level Input Wiring
The high level input(s) should only be used when your receiver lacks RCA
outputs.
If the RCA outputs are not present, connect the speaker outputs from the receiver to the high level input connector of the-amplifier. Be sure to observe polarity to avoid audio phase problems.
NOTE: Do not connect BOTH the high level and low level inputs from your receiver to your amplifier at the same time!

Power Connections
Connect the ground terminal to the closest point on the chassis of the
vehicle. Keep this ground wire to less than 39″ (100 cm) in length. Use 8
gauge (or heavier) wire.
Connect the remote terminal to the remote output of head unit using 16 gauge ( or heavier ) wire.
Connect an empty fuse holder within 18″ (45 cm) of the car battery, and run 8 gauge (or heavier) cable from this fuse to the amplifier location. Then connect the fuse holder to the “BATT+” (+12V) connection on the subwoofer rear panel.
