5. Identifikacija komponente
5.1 Power and Speaker Terminals
The power input section includes terminals for Ground (GND), Remote Turn-On (REM), and +12V power. The speaker output section provides terminals for connecting your subwoofer.
5.2 Input and Control Panel
This panel features the RCA input jacks for audio signal, a Gain control knob to match the amplifier's input sensitivity to your head unit's output, a dedicated port for the remote gain control, a Bass Boost switch for enhancing low frequencies, and an LPF (Low Pass Filter) control to adjust the upper frequency limit for the subwoofer.
5.3 Remote Gain Control
The remote gain control unit connects to the amplifier via the 'REMOTE' port and allows for convenient adjustment of the subwoofer's output level from the vehicle's cabin.
6. Postavljanje i instalacija
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and safety. If you are not confident in your ability to install the ampspasilac, potražite stručnu pomoć.
6.1 Lokacija montiranja
Choose a mounting location that is dry, well-ventilated, and away from direct heat sources. The compact size of the Powerbox Micro allows for installation under seats, behind trim panels, or in other discreet locations. Ensure there is sufficient airflow around the ampLifier za hlađenje.
6.2 Ožičenje
Električno ožičenje:
- Povežite +12V terminal to the vehicle's positive battery terminal using a suitable gauge power cable (e.g., 8 AWG or 10 AWG). Install an in-line fuse holder within 18 inches (45 cm) of the battery.
- Povežite GND terminal to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the vehicle's chassis. Ensure a good electrical connection. The ground cable should be of the same gauge as the power cable and as short as possible.
- Povežite REM (Remote Turn-On) terminal to the remote output of your head unit. This wire signals the amplifier to turn on and off with your stereo. If your head unit lacks a remote output, you can use an accessory wire that turns on with the ignition, or utilize the amplifier's auto-sense feature if applicable.
Ožičenje zvučnika:
- Povežite svoj subwoofer na Izlaz zvučnika terminals (+ and -). Ensure correct polarity. This amplifier is 1 Ohm stable, allowing flexibility in subwoofer impedance configurations. Refer to your subwoofer's specifications for optimal impedance matching.
Signal Input (RCA):
- Connect the RCA output from your head unit or signal processor to the INPUT (L/R) RCA jacks on the amplifier.
Daljinska kontrola pojačanja:
- Plug the remote gain control unit into the dedicated REMOTE port na amplifier. Route the cable to a convenient location for adjustment.
ISO T Harness / ISOAWK Kit:
- For simplified installation with existing stereo looms, an optional ISOAWK kit (available separately) can be used to make the amplifier compatible with an ISO T harness. This allows for plug-and-play integration for audio signal, power, and ground, potentially eliminating the need for separate battery connections.
7. Operacija
7.1 Početno napajanje
After all connections are made and verified, reconnect the vehicle's battery. Turn on your head unit. The amplifier's power indicator (PWR) should illuminate green. If the protection indicator (PRT) illuminates red, refer to the troubleshooting section.
7.2 Podešavanje pojačanja
The Gain control matches the ampulazna osjetljivost pretvarača na izlaznu jačinu zvukatagvaše glavne jedinice. Za podešavanje pojačanja:
- Okrenite amplifier's Gain control to its minimum (MIN) setting.
- Podesite jačinu zvuka vaše glavne jedinice na oko 75-80% maksimuma.
- Svirajte dinamičan muzički komad.
- Polako povećavajte amplifier's Gain control until you hear distortion, then back it off slightly until the sound is clear.
The remote gain control unit allows for real-time adjustment of the subwoofer level without affecting the main system volume.
7.3 niskopropusni filter (LPF)
The LPF control sets the upper frequency limit for the amplifier's output. This is essential for subwoofers, ensuring they only reproduce low frequencies. Adjust the LPF knob (typically 30Hz to 150Hz) to blend the subwoofer's output seamlessly with your main speakers. A common starting point is around 80-100Hz.
7.4 Pojačanje basa
The Bass Boost switch provides an adjustable low-frequency enhancement. Use this feature sparingly, as excessive bass boost can lead to distortion and potential damage to your subwoofer. Adjust the boost level (0dB to 12dB) to your preference.
8. Održavanje
- čišćenje: Povremeno obrišite ampVanjski dio uređaja obrišite mekom, suhom krpom. Ne koristite jake hemikalije ili abrazivna sredstva za čišćenje.
- Veze: Regularly check all power, ground, and speaker connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can cause performance issues or damage.
- ventilacija: Osigurajte da ampRebra za hlađenje usisavača nisu blokirana kako bi se održalo pravilno odvođenje topline.
9. Otkrivanje problema
| Problem | Mogući uzrok | Rješenje |
|---|---|---|
| Nema napajanja (LED dioda za napajanje isključena) | Pregoreli osigurač, labava veza sa napajanjem/uzemljenjem, nema daljinskog signala. | Check in-line fuse, verify +12V, GND, and REM connections. |
| Protection Mode (PRT LED on) | Pregrijavanje, kratki spoj u ožičenju zvučnika, preniska impedancija. | Ensure proper ventilation, check speaker wiring for shorts, verify speaker impedance. |
| Nema izlaza zvuka | No input signal, gain too low, speaker wires disconnected. | Check RCA input connections, adjust gain, verify speaker wiring. |
| Distorted Sound | Gain set too high, LPF incorrectly set, poor ground connection. | Reduce gain, adjust LPF, check ground connection. |
