XPE SERIES INSTALLATION
PreparationPlease read entire manual before installation. Due to the technical nature of amplifiers, it is highly recommended that your DUAL amplifier is installed by a professional installer or an authorized dealer.
Before You Start•Disconnectnegativebatteryterminal.(consultaqualifiedtechnicianforinstructions)•Avoidinstallingtheamplifierwhereitwouldbesubjecttohightemperatures,suchasfromdirectsunlight,orwhereitwouldbesubjecttodust,dirtorexcessivevibration.•Useextremecautionwhendrillingholestoavoiddamagingfuellinesorexistingvehiclewiring.•Allamplifierinstallationsrequirepower,signalandspeakerwires(notincluded).•Anamplifierinstallationkit(soldseparately)ishighlyrecommendedtofacilitatethe
installation. Consult your dealer for recommendations.
Mounting Location•Chooseamountinglocationfortheamplifier.Suggestedlocationsincludeunderaseatorinthetrunk.•Theamplifiercanbemountedhorizontal(recommended)orvertical.Foroptimumperformance,makesuretoprovideatleast1"ofspacetoaroundallsides.Donotmounttheamplifierundercarpetsorwhereairflowisrestricted.•Donotinstalltheamplifierwhereitmaybeexposedtomoisture.•Theoptimummountinglocationvariesbetweenvehicles.Remembertotestall
amplifier functions before completing the final mounting procedure.
TYPICAL MOUNTING METHOD
NOTEBe sure to follow specific instructions included with your amplifier installation kit(not included with this amplifier). The information below should be used a general guideline only.
Power Wire (+12V)•Disconnectnegativebatteryterminalbeforeproceeding.Consultaqualified
technician for instructions if you are unsure.•Planwireroutingbeforecuttinganywirestolength.Beginbyroutingthepower+12Vwirefromthebatterytotheamplifierlocation.Useagrommetwhenrunningwiresthroughthefirewallormetalopenings.Avoidrunningthepowerwirenearexistingvehiclewiringtopreventinducednoisefromenteringtheaudiosystem.•Useextremecautionwhendrillingholestoavoiddamagingfuellinesorexistingvehiclewiring.•The+12VwireMUSTbefusedwithin18"ofthebatteryforprotectionofthevehicle’s
electrical system.
Ground Wire (GND)•Theamplifiergroundwireshouldbeasshortaspossible.Chooseacleanunpaintedsectionofmetalorthevehiclechassiswhenattachingthegroundconnection.Besure to clean the area of any dirt or grease.
Remote Turn-on Wire (REM)•Theremoteturn-onwireconnectstotheheadunit'samplifierturn-onleadorpowerantennaoutput.
Speaker Wires•Chooseadequategaugespeakerwiredependingonyourexactamplifier/speakercombination.Besuretoobservepolaritywhenconnecting.•Donotgroundanyspeakerwiresorconnectanyspeakerwirestogether.
Input Signal •Theamplifier'sinputsignalconnectstotheheadunit'slowlevel(RCA)orhighlevel(speakerwire)outputs.•Lowlevelinputsignaldeliverthebestperformance.Ifunavailable,usethehighlevelinputs-wheninterfacingwithfactoryheadunitforinstance.
