6. Fa'apipi'i

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and safety. Ensure all connections are secure and correctly polarized.

6.1 Faʻaputuga Nofoaga

Choose a mounting location that is secure, provides adequate ventilation, and is protected from excessive moisture. While the amplifier is water-resistant, direct exposure to heavy water spray or submersion should be avoided.

6.2 Feso'ota'iga Uaea

  1. Malosiaga (B+): Connect a 4-gauge power cable from the +12V terminal of the amplifier directly to the positive terminal of the vehicle's battery. Install an appropriate inline fuse (100A recommended) within 18 inches of the battery.
  2. Eleele (GND): Connect a 4-gauge ground cable from the GND terminal of the amplifier to a clean, bare metal point on the vehicle's chassis. Ensure a solid, low-resistance connection.
  3. Mamao (REM): Connect a 18-gauge remote turn-on wire from the REM terminal of the amplifier to the remote output of your head unit.
  4. RCA Ulufale: Connect RCA cables from the subwoofer output of your head unit to the INPUT RCA jacks on the ampola
  5. Galuega Fa'atino: Connect your subwoofer(s) to the MONO OUTPUT terminals. Ensure the total impedance is not below 1 Ohm. Observe correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
  6. Kipi Bass Mamao: Connect the remote bass knob to the REMOTE port on the amplifier using the provided cable.

  2. Seti le leo o lau head unit i le pe ā ma le 75% o lona maualuga maualuga.
  3. Play a dynamic piece of music with strong bass content.
  4. Fa'ateleina malie le pulea o le GAIN i luga o le amplifier until you hear distortion, then back it off slightly until the sound is clear. The CLIP indicator should not illuminate continuously.

7.2 Crossover and Filter Settings

  • LPF (Fa'amama Maualalo): Adjust the LPF control to set the upper frequency limit for your subwoofer. A common starting point is 80Hz-100Hz, but this may vary depending on your subwoofer and other speakers in your system.
  • SUBSONIC Filter: Set the SUBSONIC filter to protect your subwoofer from playing frequencies below its resonant frequency. A common setting is 25Hz-30Hz, or slightly below your subwoofer's tuning frequency if it's in a ported enclosure. If you have a sealed enclosure, you may set it to OFF or a very low frequency.

7.3 Fa'aola Bass

  • FREQ (Bass Boost Frequency): Select the frequency at which you want the bass boost to be centered. This is typically between 30Hz and 80Hz, depending on the desired effect.
  • BOOST (Bass Boost Level): Adjust the level of boost from 0dB to 12dB. Use this sparingly to avoid distortion and potential damage to your subwoofer.

7.4 Remote Bass Knob

The remote bass knob allows for convenient adjustment of the subwoofer output level from your listening position. It acts as a master volume for the subwoofer channel, allowing you to increase or decrease the bass intensity without affecting other ampfa'atonuga lifi.
