PREFACE
The AX-DSP-X can be used with an aftermarket system, OEM system, and also an OEM system that is amplified with either an analog or digitally controlled (fixed signal) OEM amplifier. The AX-DSP-X can also grow as your stereo system grows. Start off by adding a subwoofer to an OEM system, then add on from there. Simply reference the Installation Options page to change the AX-DSP-X to the new system. All 10 channels of the AX-DSP-X can be assigned however needed for the installation at hand. If 10 channels of a subwoofer signal is needed, the AX-DSP-X can do it. In the following section, Installation Options, choose the installation type, then either click on the hyperlink, or reference the page number. It is highly suggested to use an AX-DSP-X pre-wired harness (sold separately) unless you are installing it with an aftermarket radio. As such, the instructions are written in that manner. Certain connections to the vehicle are unique per vehicle and will require the pre-wired harness to reference to. The AX-DSP-X provides a 12v 1-amp output to turn on an aftermarket amplifier. If installing multiple amplifiers, an SPDT automotive relay will be required if the current exceeds that amount. Use Metra part number E-123 (sold separately) for best results. If installing the AX-DSP-X behind the radio to install a sub amp, the OEM amp can be retained for mids/highs. If installing the AX-DSP-X at the OEM amp location, the OEM amp must be fully removed. In most cases the CAN Bus wires need to be connected in order for the AX-DSP-X to communicate with the vehicle to turn on and provide an amp turn-on output.

INSTALLATION OPTIONS

INSTALLATION

Aftermarket radio system: The AX-DSP-X can be used with an aftermarket radio to improve the overall listening experience for car audio enthusiasts. Installers will connect the RCA inputs from the AX-DSP-X to the outputs from the aftermarket radio; Front, Rear, Sub (sub is optional). When using an aftermarket radio with the AX-DSP-X, General must be chosen for the vehicle type. (refer to page 4)
Adding a subwoofer to an OEM System: This feature offers the Installer the ability to add an aftermarket subwoofer to an OEM system, whether the OEM system is non-amplified, or amplified with an analog or digitally controlled (fixed signal) amplifier. If the vehicle is equipped with noise canceling mics, they must be disabled for this type of system. (refer to page 5)
OEM System without an amplifier: This option allows the Installer to wire the AX-DSP-X directly to the speaker outputs from the OEM radio for an audio signal (high-level). (refer to page 6)
OEM System with an "analog" amplifier: This option allows the Installer to tap directly to the output of the OEM radio and feed an audio signal into the AX-DSP-X. This type of installation requires the removal of the factory amplifier, and will provide a full range signal to the input side of the AX-DSP-X. (refer to page 7)
OEM System with a "digitally controlled" amplifier: Digitally controlled systems function differently than analog systems. They have a fixed level audio signal that is controlled through the vehicle's CAN bus. In most cases the programming content (audio) provided is just two channels, which can be either front or rear. The other channels are for content like Phone/Bluetooth, SMS reader, SYNC, or OnStar. The AX-DSP-X can retain these OEM features, and also provide a clean audio signal. This type of installation requires the removal of the factory amplifier, and will provide a full range signal to the input side of the AX-DSP-X. (refer to page 7)

Factory Radio Systems 1. Remove the factory radio*, then unplug all connectors. 2. Install the vehicle specific T-harness (sold separately) and make all necessary connections, but leave the amp turn-on wire disconnected. 3. Plug the 20-pin AX-DSP-X harness into the AX-DSP-X. 4. Plug the 16-pin AX-DSP-X harness into the AX-DSP-X. 5. Plug all connectors back into the OEM radio. 6. Download and install the AX-DSP-X app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. 7. Using the app, select the vehicle. 8. Connect the amp turn-on wire from the AX-DSP-X. 9. Test all functions of the installation, then reassemble the dash to complete the installation. * Refer to Metra online for dash disassembly. If Metra makes a dash kit for the vehicle, disassembly will be within the instructions.
Aftermarket Radio Systems 1. Complete all necessary connections to the radio and vehicle, but leave the amp turn-on wire disconnected. 2. Plug the 20-pin AX-DSP-X harness into the AX-DSP-X. 3. Plug the 16-pin AX-DSP-X harness into the AX-DSP-X. 4. Download and install the AX-DSP-X app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. 5. Using the app, select the vehicle. 6. Connect the amp turn-on wire from the AX-DSP-X. 7. Test all functions of the installation, then reassemble the dash to complete the installation.
