5.2 Wiring Connections
Connect the subwoofer enclosure to a suitable amplifier. The enclosure features binding post connectors for audio input and a separate input for the LED lights.
- Audio Connection: Connect your amplifier's speaker output wires to the binding post terminals on the subwoofer enclosure. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative) for optimal sound. The enclosure has an impedance of 4 Ohms.
- LED Power Connection: Connect the provided LED power cable to the dedicated LED input port on the enclosure. This cable typically connects to a 12V DC power source in your vehicle, often through a separate switch or directly to a constant 12V source (with an inline fuse for protection, not included).
