3.2 Amplifier Installation (KICKER 46CXA8001)

Монтирајте amplifier in a location that provides good air circulation and is protected from moisture and excessive heat. Common locations include under a seat, in the trunk, or attached to the subwoofer enclosure.

3.2.1 Power Wiring (HA-AK8 Kit)

  1. Power Cable (+12V): Connect the 8-gauge power cable from the HA-AK8 kit to the vehicle's positive battery terminal. Install the fuse holder (included in HA-AK8 kit) as close to the battery as possible (within 18 inches) to protect the vehicle's electrical system. Route the power cable to the amp+12V терминал на пуњачу.
  2. Ground Cable (GND): Connect the 8-gauge ground cable from the HA-AK8 kit to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the vehicle's chassis. Ensure a solid, low-resistance connection. Connect the other end to the amplifier's GND terminal. The ground cable should be as short as possible, ideally less than 3 feet.
  3. Remote Turn-On Cable (REM): Connect a thin gauge wire (typically blue) from your head unit's remote output to the ampREM терминал пуњача. Ова жица окреће ampукључивање и искључивање горионика помоћу ваше главне јединице.

3.2.2 Сигнални улаз

The 46CXA8001 amplifier supports both high-level (speaker level) and low-level (RCA) inputs. Use the appropriate input type based on your head unit's outputs.

  • Улаз ниског нивоа: If your head unit has RCA outputs, connect them to the ampRCA улазни прикључци компаније Lifer.
  • Улаз високог нивоа: If your head unit does not have RCA outputs, use the speaker-level inputs. Refer to the amplifier's specific wiring diagram for connecting speaker wires directly to the ampлифиер.

3.2.3 Излаз звучника

Connect the subwoofer enclosure's speaker terminals to the amplifier's SPEAKER output terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) for optimal sound. The 48DCWR122-RS enclosure is wired for a 2 Ohm load.

4. Упутство за употребу

Once the system is installed, follow these steps for initial setup and operation:

4.1 Почетно укључивање

  1. Двапут проверите све прикључке ожичења.
  2. Reconnect the vehicle's battery negative terminal.
  3. Укључите главну јединицу. ampУређај за напајање требало би да се укључи (што је назначено ЛЕД диодом).

4.2 Amplifier Settings (KICKER 46CXA8001)

The 46CXA8001 amplifier features several adjustable controls:

  • Гаин Цонтрол: Adjust the gain to match the output voltagваше главне јединице. Почните са минимумом појачања и полако га повећавајте док не чујете изобличење, а затим мало смањите. Ово није контрола јачине звука.
  • Low Pass Crossover (LPF): Variable from 50-200Hz. Set this to filter out frequencies above your desired subwoofer range. A common starting point is 80-100Hz.
  • Подзвучни филтер: Fixed at 25Hz. This filters out extremely low frequencies that the subwoofer cannot reproduce efficiently, protecting it from damage.
  • KICKER EQ Boost: Variable to +12dB, centered at 40Hz. Use this to fine-tune the bass response to your preference. Use sparingly to avoid distortion.
