Asylum CFAM800.1 Car Audio System Owner's Manual

Connect the audio system following the manufacturer’s wiring diagram provided in the user manual. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent any electrical faults.

Operation

Once installed, power on the unit and adjust the settings according to your preferences. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions on operating different features of the CFAM800.1.

Maintenance

Regularly check for dust accumulation and clean the unit as needed. Avoid using harsh chemicals for cleaning to prevent damage to the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I install the CFAM800.1 Car Audio System in a vehicle with limited airflow?
- A: It is not recommended as proper airflow is essential for the unit’s performance and longevity.

Q: What should I do if the unit stops working suddenly?
- A: Check the power connections and fuses to ensure everything is intact. If the issue persists, contact customer support for assistance.

WARNING

Make sure you choose a suitable place to mount the unit. The position should be completely dry with a good circulation of air, and from a mechanical point of view very stable.

System planning

Proper system planning is the best way to maximize your amplifier performance. By planning your installation carefully you can avoid situations where the performance of the reliability of your system is compromised. Your authorized dealer has been trained to maximize your system’s sonic potential. Your dealer is a valuable resource in helping you with your system design and installation.

Speaker requirements

Your amplifier can easily drive 1 Ohm speaker loads. Although operation with lower impedances is not likely to cause immediate damage to the internal circuitry, the unit will most likely overheat, causing the thermal protection circuitry to shut down the amplifier.
When the chassis cools down, normal operation will resume. Continuing to operate the amplifier under these conditions is not recommended and will reduce its life expectancy.

Most subwoofers designed for car audio operation are 40hm impedance. Connecting two such speakers in parallel will result in a 2Ohm impedance load as seen by the amplifier. Some subwoofer models feature dual 4Ohm voice coil design. Connecting these voice coils in parallel will result in a 20-mm nominal impedance. Wiring two 40hm coils in Series (either with two 40hm subs or one dual 4 ohm sub) will result in an 80hm load. Other subwoofers designed for car audio operation are 2 Ohm impedance.
Connecting two such speakers in parallel will result in a 1 Ohm impedance load as seen by the amplifier. Some subwoofer models feature a dual 2 Ohm voice coil design. Connecting these voice coils in parallel will also result in a 1 Ohm nominal impedance.

Wiring two 20hm coils in Series (either with two 20hm subs or one dual 2 ohm sub) will result in a 40hm load.

Power Connection Leads

Notes on the power supply

Connect the + 12V power input lead only after all other leads have been connected. Be sure to connect the ground wire of the unit securely to a BARE metal part of the car (scrape the paint off the spot where you connect the ground). A lose connection may cause a malfunction of the amplifier. REMOTE: The unit is turned on by applying + 12Volts to this terminal This terminal dose not draw heavy current like the two power terminal so a thinner connecting wire is acceptable. Standard 18 GAUGE is fine and the standard color is blue. If the radio is equipped with a power antenna control wire, it can drive this terminal. If the power antenna wire is already in use, you can still splice into it. Place the fuse in the power supply lead as close as possible to the car battery. During a full power operation, Maximum current will run through the system. Therefore, Make sure the that the leads to be connected to the + 12v and GND terminals of the unit respectively must be larger than 8-Gauge (AWG. 8).
