Function Introduction

Diagram: Top panel of the active subwoofer with controls and ports labeled A through K.
  • A. Power and Protection Indicator: LED indicator for power status and protection mode (e.g., ?).
  • B. Phase transfer switch: Allows selection of 0° or 180° phase (e.g., ?️).
  • C. REM (Remote) Terminal: When the high level input is used and REM is not connected, this acts as a power control switch (ON/OFF) to activate the subwoofer.
  • D. Bass filter potentiometer: Adjusts the low-pass filter frequency (e.g., ?️).
  • E. Bass potentiometer: Adjusts the bass level (e.g., ?️).
  • F. Volume potentiometer: Adjusts the overall volume (e.g., ?️).
  • G. Remote bass volume control port: Connects to an optional remote bass control knob (e.g., ?).
  • H. High level input port: For connecting to head units without RCA pre-outs (e.g., ?).
  • I. Low level input port: Standard RCA input for connecting to head units with pre-outs (e.g., ?).
  • J. Fuse socket: Houses the main power fuse (e.g., ⚡).
  • K. Power input terminal: Connects to the vehicle's power system (+12V, GND, REM) (e.g., ?).

? Note: The actual frequency of the low-pass filter may be higher or lower than the set value, with an error of -20% to +20%.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Item Troubleshooting Fault Cause
1 The amplifier cannot be started
  1. Check whether the ground wire of the power amplifier is well connected.
  2. Check if the positive voltage of the battery is on the positive terminal of the power amplifier.
  3. Check REMOTE voltage not lower than 5VDC.
  4. Check that the positive voltage of the power terminal is not lower than +12V.
  5. Check for damaged fuses.
  6. Confirm the protection indicator, if the indicator is on, restart the amplifier.
2 The protection indicator light is on after the amplifier starts
  1. Check the speaker terminals for a short circuit.
  2. Turn down the volume potentiometer for overload protection.
  3. Remove the horn connecting line and restart the amplifier.
3 No output
  1. Check for damaged fuses.
  2. Check that the amplifier is properly grounded.
  3. Amplifier startup voltage should not be lower than 5VDC.
  4. Check if the RCA audio cable or high frequency input cable is properly connected to the amplifier.
  5. Check if the speaker cable is well connected.
4 Low power output
  1. Reset the volume potentiometer.
  2. Check that the filter potentiometer is in the correct position.
  3. Disconnect the signal input line of the power amplifier; if it disappears, there is a problem with the signal source. At this point, it is necessary to confirm whether the signal line is well connected or whether the quality of the signal line is faulty, otherwise the host may have problems.
  4. Turn the volume potentiometer of the power amplifier as low as possible, and turn up the volume of the host as much as possible (do not distort).
5 There are whistlers Check if the RCA ground wire is connected.
6 Distortion
  1. Check whether the size of the power amplifier volume potentiometer is appropriate.
  2. Check the size of the filter potentiometer.
7 Power amplifier is overheating
  1. Check if the speaker impedance is lower than the indicated impedance of the amplifier.
  2. Check that the installation location of the amplifier is well ventilated.
8 Engine sound The main reason is that the quality of the RCA signal line is too poor. It is necessary to replace the signal line with good quality and keep it away from the power line.
9 Engine noise
  1. Check RCA signal line is not connected to the chassis.
  2. Check that the host is properly grounded.
