Setup and Installation

General Installation Steps:

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle's ignition is off and the battery is disconnected. Gather all necessary tools.
2. Access Existing Speakers: Carefully remove door panels, seat bases, or other trim pieces to access the factory speaker locations. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific trim removal procedures.
3. Woofer Installation: The AX 08 BMW PLUS EVO woofers are designed to fit under-seat locations in compatible BMW models. Use the provided LSR 80 BMW I and LSR 80 BMW II adapters as needed to ensure a secure fit. Connect the woofers using the original BMW connectors or the HLAC BMW connector pair.

Operating Instructions

The Audio System XFIT BMW Uni EVO 2 speaker system is a passive component designed to work with your vehicle's existing or aftermarket amplifier. Once correctly installed, its operation is integrated with your car's audio head unit and amplifier.

• Audio Source: Play audio through your car's head unit (radio, CD, Bluetooth, etc.).
• Volume Control: Adjust the volume using your car's standard controls.
• Audio Settings: Utilize your head unit's equalizer, balance, and fader controls to fine-tune the sound to your preference.
• Amplifier Settings: If using an aftermarket amplifier, refer to its manual for optimal gain, crossover, and other settings.

Maintenance

The Audio System XFIT BMW Uni EVO 2 speaker system requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure long-term performance:

• Cleaning: Keep speaker grilles free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe surfaces. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Environmental Conditions: Ensure the speakers are not exposed to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures, which can affect performance and lifespan.
• Professional Inspection: If you notice any degradation in sound quality or suspect damage, consult a professional car audio technician for inspection.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your speaker system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Sound from Speakers:
  • Check all wiring connections for looseness or disconnections.
  • Verify that the amplifier is powered on and functioning correctly.
  • Ensure the head unit is outputting audio and volume is not muted or set too low.
  • Inspect fuses in the amplifier or vehicle's fuse box.
• Distorted Sound:
  • Reduce the volume level; distortion often occurs at excessively high volumes.
  • Check amplifier gain settings; if set too high, it can cause distortion.
  • Inspect speaker cones for physical damage.
  • Ensure speaker wires are not shorting or touching other metal surfaces.
• One Speaker Not Working:
  • Check the specific speaker's wiring connections and crossover.
  • Swap the non-working speaker with a known good one (if possible) to determine if the issue is with the speaker or the wiring/amplifier channel.
  • Adjust balance and fader settings on your head unit.
• Intermittent Sound:
  • Loose wiring connections are a common cause. Re-secure all terminals.
  • Check for damaged speaker wires that might be intermittently losing contact.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact customer support or a qualified technician.
