5.1 Lokasi Pamasangan
Choose a mounting location that is dry, well-ventilated, and protected from direct sunlight or excessive heat. Ensure there is enough space around the amplifier for air circulation. The compact size of the CANDY-X2B allows for flexible placement options.
5.2 Sambungan Wiring
Refer to the diagrams below for proper wiring of power, ground, remote, input, and speaker outputs.
Sambungan Daya sareng Taneuh:
- GND (tanah): Connect this terminal to a clean, unpainted metal surface of the vehicle chassis. Ensure a solid connection for optimal performance and safety.
- REM (Jauh Hurungkeun): Connect this to the remote output of your head unit. This signal turns the amphurungkeun sareng mareuman lifier sareng sistem audio anjeun.
- + 12V (Kakuatan): Connect this terminal directly to the positive terminal of your vehicle's battery. An inline fuse (not supplied, typically 25A for this model) should be installed within 18 inches of the battery.
Sambungan Kaluaran Speaker:
Connect your speakers to the LEFT and RIGHT speaker output terminals. For bridged mode operation, refer to the diagram and connect to the designated BRIDGE terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).

6.1 Control Panel Leuwihview
The front panel of the CANDY-X2B features several controls for fine-tuning your audio output:
- BASS BOOST: Adjusts the bass level enhancement (0dB to +12dB). Use sparingly to avoid distortion.
- FREQ (Frékuénsi): Selects the crossover frequency for the Low Pass Filter (LPF) or High Pass Filter (HPF).
- X-OVER (Crossover Switch): Selects between FULL (full range), LPF (Low Pass Filter), or HPF (High Pass Filter) modes.
- NGASILKEUN: Cocog jeung amplifier's input sensitivity to the output level of your head unit. Start with the gain at minimum and slowly increase until desired volume is achieved without distortion.

6.2 Initial Setup and Tuning
- Setel sadayana amplifier controls (Gain, Bass Boost) to their minimum positions.
- Set your head unit's volume to about 75% of its maximum.
- Lalaunan ningkatkeun teh ampPencét kontrol GAIN lifier nepi ka anjeun ngadéngé distorsi saeutik, teras eureunkeun saeutik.
- Adjust the X-OVER switch and FREQ knob according to your speaker type:
- For full-range speakers, set X-OVER to FULL.
- For subwoofers, set X-OVER to LPF and adjust FREQ to the desired low-pass cutoff (e.g., 80Hz-120Hz).
- For component speakers or tweeters, set X-OVER to HPF and adjust FREQ to the desired high-pass cutoff (e.g., 80Hz-120Hz).
- Use the BASS BOOST control sparingly to enhance bass if desired, ensuring no distortion occurs.
