5.2 Hononga Waea
Follow these steps for secure and correct wiring:
- Waea Hiko (+12V): Connect the 17FT Translucent Blue Power Wire from the vehicle's positive battery terminal (via the Mini-ANL/AFS Fuseholder & Fuse, installed within 18 inches of the battery) to the +12V terminal on the amplifier. Ensure a secure, crimped connection.
- Waea Whenua (GND): Connect the 3FT Translucent Silver Ground Wire from the GND terminal on the ampWhakakīia te hiko ki tētahi mata whakarewa ma, kāore anō kia peitahia i runga i te anga o te waka. Me whakarite he hononga pakari, he iti te ātete.
- Remote Turn-on Wire (REM): Connect the 16FT Blue Remote Turn-on Wire from the REM terminal on the amplifier to the remote output of your head unit or other switched 12V source. This wire turns the ampwhakakoi me te whakaweto me to wae upoko.
- RCA Tāuru: Connect the 17FT Translucent Blue Twisted Pair RCA interconnects from the RCA output of your head unit to the INPUT RCA terminals (L/R) on the amplifier. For bridged input, use the BRIDGE IN RCA terminal.
- Putanga Kaikōrero: Connect your subwoofer(s) to the MONO OUTPUT MIN 1 Ohm terminals on the amplifier using the 20FT Translucent Speaker Wire. Observe correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). Ensure the total impedance of your subwoofer(s) is 1 Ohm or higher.

5.3 Whakapiki
Choose a mounting location that provides adequate ventilation and is secure. Avoid mounting the amplifier directly to carpet or in enclosed spaces without airflow. Use the provided mounting hardware to firmly attach the amplifier to a solid surface in your vehicle.
6. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere
Kia whakauruhia, whakatikahia te ampnga tautuhinga riipene mo te mahi oro tino pai.
6.1 Whakatikatika Mana
- GAIN (Input Level): Ka rite tenei mana ki te amplifier's input sensitivity to the output of your head unit. Start with the gain at minimum (fully counter-clockwise). Play a familiar track at about 75% of your head unit's maximum volume. Slowly increase the gain until you hear distortion, then back off slightly.
- LPF (Tatari Utu Iti): This filter allows only frequencies below the set point to pass through to the subwoofer. Adjust this knob (40Hz-180Hz) to blend the subwoofer's output with your main speakers. A common starting point is 80Hz.
- SUBSONIC: This high-pass filter removes extremely low frequencies that are below the audible range or harmful to your subwoofer. Set it to OFF or 50Hz, depending on your subwoofer's capabilities and enclosure tuning.
- FREQ (Bass EQ Frequency): This knob (30Hz/80Hz) selects the center frequency for the Bass BOOST.
- BOOST (Bass EQ Level): This control (0dB/12dB) increases the output at the selected FREQ. Use sparingly to avoid distortion and potential damage to your subwoofer.
6.2 Mana Taumata o te Ipu-iti Mamao
The included remote level control allows you to conveniently adjust the subwoofer output level from your driving position. This control only adjusts the output level and does not affect the ampte tautuhinga whakanui a te lifier.
