5. Tatūnga me te Tāuta
He mea nui te whakaurunga tika mo te mahi tino pai me te roa o to oranga ampwhakarara. A pee i enei taahiraa.
5.1 Te Tauwhi Maunga
Choose a mounting location that is dry, well-ventilated, and protected from direct sunlight or excessive heat. Ensure there is enough space around the amplifier for air circulation. The compact size of the CANDY-X2B allows for flexible placement options.
5.2 Hononga Waea
Refer to the diagrams below for proper wiring of power, ground, remote, input, and speaker outputs.
Ngā Hononga Hiko me te Whenua:
- GND (Te Papa): Connect this terminal to a clean, unpainted metal surface of the vehicle chassis. Ensure a solid connection for optimal performance and safety.
- REM (Whakakā Mamao): Connect this to the remote output of your head unit. This signal turns the ampwhakakorikori me to punaha ororongo.
- +12V (Mana): Connect this terminal directly to the positive terminal of your vehicle's battery. An inline fuse (not supplied, typically 25A for this model) should be installed within 18 inches of the battery.
Ngā Hononga Putanga Kaikōrero:
Connect your speakers to the LEFT and RIGHT speaker output terminals. For bridged mode operation, refer to the diagram and connect to the designated BRIDGE terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).

Hononga Whakauru:
The CANDY-X2B supports both Low-Level (RCA) and High-Level inputs.
- Tāuru Taumata-iti (RCA): Honoa nga taura RCA mai i to mahunga o mua-amp putanga ki te amplifier's INPUT L and R RCA jacks.
- Tāuru Taumata-Teitei: If your head unit does not have RCA outputs, use the supplied high-level input harness. Connect the speaker wires from your head unit to the corresponding wires on the harness, then plug the harness into the amplifier's HIGH INPUT port.

6. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere
Kotahi te amplifier is installed, adjust the settings for optimal audio performance.
6.1 Paewhiri Mana Ki rungaview
The front panel of the CANDY-X2B features several controls for fine-tuning your audio output:
- KAUPAPA KAUPAPA: Adjusts the bass level enhancement (0dB to +12dB). Use sparingly to avoid distortion.
- FREQ (auau): Selects the crossover frequency for the Low Pass Filter (LPF) or High Pass Filter (HPF).
- X-OVER (Crossover Switch): Selects between FULL (full range), LPF (Low Pass Filter), or HPF (High Pass Filter) modes.
- MAU: Ka rite ki te amplifier's input sensitivity to the output level of your head unit. Start with the gain at minimum and slowly increase until desired volume is achieved without distortion.

6.2 Tatūnga Tuatahi me te Whakaritea
- Whakatakotoria nga mea katoa amplifier controls (Gain, Bass Boost) to their minimum positions.
- Whakatakotoria te oro o tō pane oro ki te 75% o tōna mōrahi.
- Whakarei ake i te amplifier's GAIN control until you hear slight distortion, then back off slightly.
- Adjust the X-OVER switch and FREQ knob according to your speaker type:
- For full-range speakers, set X-OVER to KATOA.
- For subwoofers, set X-OVER to LPF and adjust FREQ to the desired low-pass cutoff (e.g., 80Hz-120Hz).
- For component speakers or tweeters, set X-OVER to HPF and adjust FREQ to the desired high-pass cutoff (e.g., 80Hz-120Hz).
