5. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and safety. If you are unsure about any steps, consult a professional installer.

5.1 Mounting the Unit

1. Choose a secure, dry, and well-ventilated location for mounting the DSP. Avoid areas exposed to extreme temperatures or moisture.
2. Use the provided mounting screws and washers to firmly attach the unit to a stable surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for ventilation and cable connections.

5.2 Wiring Connections

Before making any connections, ensure the vehicle's battery negative terminal is disconnected.

1. Power (BATT+): Connect the red wire from the wiring harness to a fused constant 12V power source from the vehicle's battery. Use an appropriate fuse (not included, typically 15-20A) as close to the battery as possible.
2. Ground (GND): Connect the black wire from the wiring harness to a clean, bare metal chassis ground point in the vehicle. Ensure a solid connection to prevent noise.
3. Remote (REM): Connect the blue wire from the wiring harness to the remote turn-on output of your head unit or ignition switch. This will turn the DSP on and off with your audio system.
4. Audio Input: Connect your head unit's RCA outputs to the DSP's INPUT A or B RCA jacks.
5. Audio Output: Connect the DSP's OUTPUT 1-4 L/R RCA jacks to the corresponding inputs on your amplifiers.
