5. Installation and Setup
5.1 Mounting Location
Choose a mounting location that provides adequate ventilation for the amplifier's heatsink and protects it from moisture. Avoid mounting in direct sunlight or in areas where it may be exposed to excessive vibration. Ensure sufficient space for wiring connections.
5.2 Wiring Connections
Refer to the diagrams below for proper wiring. Always use high-quality, appropriate gauge wiring.
Power Input
Image 5.1: Power Input Terminals. This image shows the power, ground, and remote input terminals on the amplifier.
- B+ (Power): Connect directly to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle's battery using a heavy gauge power cable (e.g., 0 or 4 gauge, depending on total system power requirements). Install an appropriate fuse (not included) within 18 inches of the battery.
- GND (Ground): Connect to a clean, unpainted metal surface of the vehicle's chassis. Ensure a solid electrical connection. Use a heavy gauge ground cable of the same size as the power cable, keeping the length as short as possible.
- REM (Remote): Connect to the remote turn-on output of your head unit. This wire turns the amplifier on and off with your car stereo.
Audio Input/Output and Speaker Connections
Image 5.2: Audio and Speaker Connections. This image details the RCA input, RCA output, speaker terminals, and control knobs on the amplifier's rear panel.
- INPUT (RCA): Connect to the RCA pre-out jacks of your head unit.
- OUTPUT (RCA): Provides a full-range signal output for connecting additional amplifiers.
- SPEAKER (+/-): Connect your subwoofer(s) to these terminals. Ensure correct polarity. This amplifier is stable down to 1-ohm impedance.
6. Controls and Operation
The TXP1.12000D amplifier features several controls for fine-tuning your audio system. All adjustments should be made with the audio system off or at a very low volume.
Image 6.1: Amplifier Control Panel. This image highlights the various adjustment knobs for bass boost, frequency, and crossover settings.
- GAIN (Input Level): Adjusts the input sensitivity of the amplifier to match the output of your head unit. Start with the gain at minimum and slowly increase until desired volume is achieved without distortion.
- LOW PASS (Crossover): This control sets the upper frequency limit for the amplifier's output. Typically set between 50Hz and 150Hz for subwoofers.
- HIGH PASS (Crossover): This control sets the lower frequency limit. For subwoofer applications, this is usually not used or set to its lowest point.
- SUBSONIC (Crossover): Filters out extremely low frequencies that are inaudible and can damage subwoofers. Typically set below the port tuning frequency of your subwoofer enclosure.
- BASS BOOST (FREQ/LEVEL):
- FREQ: Selects the center frequency for the bass boost.
- LEVEL: Adjusts the amount of bass boost (0dB to +12dB). Use sparingly to avoid distortion and speaker damage.
- REMOTE (Dash Mount Gain Control): Connects the included remote bass knob for convenient level adjustment from the driver's seat.
