Low-Level Input Connection (RCA)
Connect the RCA output from your car stereo/head unit to the RCA INPUT on the subwoofer. This method provides the cleanest signal for optimal sound quality.
High-Level Input Connection
If your car stereo does not have RCA outputs, use the included high-to-low level adapter to connect directly to your speaker wires. Connect the speaker wires from your car stereo to the HIGH LEVEL INPUT on the subwoofer.
Power Input Connection
- Connect the +12V terminal to the positive (+) terminal of your car battery using the provided power cable and fuse.
- Connect the GND terminal to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the vehicle's chassis for a solid ground connection.
- Connect the REM (Remote) terminal to the remote turn-on lead from your car stereo. This will turn the subwoofer on and off with your stereo.
Operating Instructions
Once installed, you can adjust the subwoofer's settings for optimal audio performance.
Control Panel Functions
- PHASE (0°/180°): Adjusts the phase of the subwoofer output. Experiment with both settings to find the one that provides the best bass response in your vehicle.
- LOW PASS (50Hz-250Hz): Controls the low-pass filter frequency. This setting determines the highest frequency the subwoofer will reproduce. Adjust to blend seamlessly with your main speakers.
- BASS BOOST (0dB to +12dB): Increases the bass output at a specific frequency. Use sparingly to avoid distortion.
- GAIN INPUT (MIN/MAX): Matches the input sensitivity of the subwoofer to the output level of your car stereo. Start at MIN and slowly increase until desired volume is achieved without distortion.
- REMOTE CONTROL: Connect the wired remote control to this port to adjust bass levels conveniently from your driver's seat.
- AUTO POWER ON (ON/OFF): When set to ON, the subwoofer will automatically turn on when it detects an audio signal from the high-level input.
LED Ambient Light Control
The subwoofer features multi-color LED ambient lighting. You can control the colors and effects using the dedicated smartphone app or the included remote controller.

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