Wiring Connections
Follow these steps for proper wiring of your system:
- Power Wire: Connect the 8-gauge red power wire from the amplifier's +12V terminal to the positive terminal of your vehicle's battery. Install the MINI-ANL fuse holder within 18 inches of the battery.
- Ground Wire: Connect the 8-gauge black ground wire from the amplifier's GND terminal to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the vehicle's chassis. Ensure a solid, secure connection.
- Remote Turn-On Wire: Connect the 18-gauge gray remote lead wire from the amplifier's REM terminal to the remote turn-on output of your head unit. This wire tells the amplifier to turn on when your head unit is active.
- RCA Interconnect Cable: Connect the 2-channel RCA interconnect cable from the RCA output of your head unit to the RCA input (INPUT) on the amplifier.
- Speaker Wire: Connect the 16-gauge speaker cable from the amplifier's SPEAKER output terminals to the spring-loaded push terminals on the subwoofer enclosure. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
- Remote Bass Knob: Plug the remote bass knob cable into the 'REMOTE' port on the amplifier. Mount the bass knob in an accessible location for easy adjustment.

Operation
Remote Bass Knob
The included remote bass knob provides convenient control over the subwoofer's output level from the driver's seat. Turn the knob clockwise to increase bass output and counter-clockwise to decrease it. This allows for on-the-fly adjustments to suit your music and preferences.

Amplifier Settings
The BELVA BB200ABv2 amplifier features adjustable settings to fine-tune your bass experience:
- GAIN: This control matches the amplifier's input sensitivity to the output voltage of your head unit. Start with the gain at minimum and slowly increase it until you hear distortion, then back off slightly.
- LPF (Low Pass Filter): This control allows only frequencies below the set point to pass through to the subwoofers. Adjust it to blend the subwoofer's output seamlessly with your main speakers, typically between 80Hz and 120Hz.
- BASS BOOST: Provides an adjustable bass boost from 0 to +12dB. Use this sparingly to enhance low frequencies. Excessive bass boost can lead to distortion and potential damage to the subwoofers.

Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the amplifier and enclosure. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Connections: Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to poor performance or damage.
- Ventilation: Ensure the amplifier has adequate airflow around it to prevent overheating. Do not block the cooling fins.
- Environmental Factors: Protect the system from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and excessive moisture.
