5. Opsætning og installation
Korrekt installation er afgørende for din ydeevne og levetid ampHvis du er usikker på nogle trin, skal du kontakte en professionel installatør.
5.1 Montering af Amplivligere
- Choose a mounting location that is dry, well-ventilated, and protected from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
- Ensure sufficient space around the amplifier for proper airflow, especially around the heatsink fins.
- Sikre den amplifier firmly to a solid surface using appropriate screws and mounting hardware. Avoid mounting on carpet or other materials that could obstruct cooling.
5.2 Ledningsforbindelser
Use high-quality wiring for all connections. 4-gauge power and ground leads are recommended for the FPS 1500.
- Strømledning (+12V): Run a 4-gauge power wire directly from the positive terminal of the vehicle's battery to the +12V terminal on the ampInstaller en passende sikringsholder (medfølger ikke) inden for 45 cm fra batteriet.
- Jordledning (GND): Connect a 4-gauge ground wire from the GND terminal on the ampFastgør sikringen til en ren, umalet metaloverflade på køretøjets chassis. Sørg for en solid forbindelse med lav modstand.
- Fjernbetjeningsledning (REM): Connect a remote turn-on wire (typically 18-gauge) from the remote output of your head unit to the REM terminal on the ampDenne ledning drejer amptænd og sluk for støjrelæet med din hovedenhed.
- RCA-indgangskabler: Connect high-quality RCA cables from the subwoofer pre-out of your head unit to the RCA input jacks on the amplivligere.
- Højttalerkabler: Tilslut din(e) subwoofer(e) til højttalerudgangsterminalerne på amplifier. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). Refer to your subwoofer's specifications for impedance matching. The FPS 1500 is stable down to 1 ohm.
6. Betjeningsvejledning
Once all connections are made and verified, you can power on your system and adjust the amplifier indstillinger.
6.1 Indledende opstart
- Tilslut køretøjets negative batteripol igen.
- Tænd din hovedenhed. amplifier should power on, indicated by the power LED.
- Start med ampLifierens forstærkningskontrol er indstillet til minimum.
6.2 Justering af indstillinger
- Gain Control: Play a familiar piece of music with a strong bass presence. Slowly increase the gain control on the amplifier until you hear distortion, then back it off slightly. This matches the ampsenderens indgangsfølsomhed i forhold til din hovedenheds udgang.
- Lavpasfilter: Set the low-pass filter frequency to blend smoothly with your main speakers. A common starting point is 80-100 Hz, but this may vary depending on your system.
- Subsonisk filter: If your subwoofer is ported or you are experiencing excessive cone excursion at very low frequencies, engage the subsonic filter (20 Hz). This protects the subwoofer from playing frequencies below its safe operating range.
- Bass Boost: Use the bass boost sparingly. Excessive bass boost can lead to distortion and potential damage. Adjust to your preference, ensuring the sound remains clean.
- Faseomskifter: Experiment with the 0 and 180-degree phase settings. Choose the setting that provides the most impactful and coherent bass response from your listening position.
The FPS 1500 features Dynamic Soft Clipping, which helps protect your speakers from distortion by gently limiting the output when the amplifier is driven beyond its clean power capabilities.
