Installation 1 Disconnect
negative battery terminal
Place terminal in a secure position so that it won't accidentally contact the negative battery post
2 Run Cables

Properly route power, speaker and RCA cables through the vehicle.

3 Mount Amplifier

Choose a mounting location that will provide adequate air ventilation. Mount the amplifier to a secure surface. Do not mount the amplifier upside down.

4 Chassis Ground

The chassis ground connection is critical to the performance of the amplifier. Choose a location that is close to the amplifier. Completely scrape away the paint and use a nut and bolt if possible. DO NOT USE AN EXISTING FACTORY BOLT!
5 Negative Power
Connection

Bare metal

Attach the chassis ground cable to the amplifier negative terminal. It is important to make sure this connection is very tight.
6 Remote Turn-on
Connection

Attach the remote turn on wire to the amplifier remote output of the source unit.

7 Positive Power

POWER

Connection

Attach the main power cable to the amplifier +12V. The cable must run directly to the battery and be properly fused and be very tight.
8 Signal Input
Connection

Connect the RCA cables to the coordinating RCA input number that will match the speaker outputs number.

9 Turn on Mode

Please check Hifonics.com/product-manuals for the Auto-Sense Technical Guide.

MODE

High Level Input - DC turn on - Signal Sense turn on

Low Level Input - REM turn on (Remote wire turn on)

REM DC SIGNAL ON ON ON

NOTE - When using low level input and the RCA's are plugged into the amplifier and the TURN ON MODE is in the DC ON position, the amplifier will NOT turn on. Please re-read QR document above or hire a professional installer.

10 Speaker
Connections
Using spade terminals,connect the speaker cables to the speaker output connectors. Follow the diagram below that best fits your speaker configuration.

11 Positive Battery
Connection
Connect the power cable to the positive battery terminal. The power cable must be fused within 18 inches of the battery terminal.
Be prepared to disarm your vehicle's alarm and to enter your radio / source unit code.
12 Re-connect

HPF LPF FULL

C
High pass Adjustment
D
Low pass Adjustment

The HPF(high pass filter) control will limit the HPF output below the selected frequency. This is typically used to protect midrange and hi
frequency speakers from damage and to 50Hz 250Hz allow a smooth transition from a subwoofer.

SUBSONIC 15Hz 40Hz

The LPF(low pass filter) control will limit output above the selected frequency. This is used to allow a smooth transition to the higher
frequency speakers.

LPF 50Hz 250Hz

E
Bass Boost

The Bass Boost control will increase the power output at 45Hz for more pronounced bass. Exercise caution when using this
control. Increase the level in small amounts
until distortion is noticed, then back off a little.

BASS BOOST 0dB 12dB

F
Remote Level Control

Some models include a bass remote. Avoid adjusting the bass remote while operating vehicle.

G
Level Setting

This is a critical step to insure your amplifier is properly adjusted to match the signal output level of your source unit.
THIS IS NOT A VOLUME CONTROL!

LEVEL

12v

0.2v

1. If possible, with the source unit off, confirm that the primary volume control is turned down (counter clockwise).
2. Turn on the source unit (CD, or MP3 player). Re-confirm that the volume is turned down. Make sure the source unit controls; balance, fader, bass and treble are all set to center or "0" adjustment. Make sure that the green LED on the end of the amplifier is illuminated.
3. Play a clean musical selection of which you are very familiar. CD is preferred. Do not use radio signals for level setting. Hit play and start turning the volume of the source unit up.
4. Stop increasing the source unit volume when you reach 3/4 (about 75%) or until you hear speakers begin to slightly start producing distortion.
5. Increase the amplifier level (clockwise) until distortion is heard, then back the level down (counter clockwise) until the distortion is eliminated. Small adjustments may need to be made to balance the levels of multiple amplifiers.
