3.2. Wiring Ferbinings
Foardat jo ferbiningen meitsje, moatte jo de negative batterijterminal fan 'e auto loskeppelje.
Ofbylding 3.1: View of the power and speaker output terminals on the Memphis Audio PRX1000.1V2 amplifier. This side features connections for GND (Ground), REM (Remote Turn-On), +12V (Power), and Speaker Out.
- Stromferbining (+12V):
Connect a heavy-gauge power wire (e.g., 4 AWG or larger, depending on total system power) directly from the vehicle's positive battery terminal to the +12V terminal on the amplifier. Install an appropriate fuse holder (rated for the amplifier's current draw) within 18 inches (45 cm) of the battery.
- Ground Connection (GND):
Connect a heavy-gauge ground wire (same gauge as the power wire) from the GND terminal on the amplifier to a clean, solid metal point on the vehicle's chassis. Ensure the contact point is free of paint, rust, or dirt for an effective ground. The ground wire should be as short as possible, ideally less than 3 feet (1 meter).
- Op ôfstân ynskeakelje (REM):
Connect a remote turn-on wire (typically 18 AWG) from your head unit's remote output (usually a blue/white wire) to the REM terminal on the amplifter. Dizze tried sinjalearret de amplifier om oan en út te skeakeljen mei jo holle-ienheid.
- Speaker Output (SPEAKER OUT):
Connect your subwoofer(s) to the SPEAKER OUT terminals. This is a monoblock amplifier, designed for a single subwoofer or multiple subwoofers wired to present a 1-ohm load for maximum power. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) for all speaker connections.
Ofbylding 3.2: View of the input and control panel on the Memphis Audio PRX1000.1V2 amplifier. This side includes RCA Input/Output, REM/DC/Audio switch, Input Level control, and Remote bass control port.
- RCA Input (INPUT):
Connect RCA cables from your head unit's subwoofer pre-out (or full-range pre-out if no dedicated subwoofer output is available) to the RCA INPUT terminals on the amplibbener.
- RCA Output (OUTPUT):
The RCA OUTPUT terminals allow you to pass the audio signal to another ampliifer yn in multi-amplifier opset.
- Remote Bass Control (REMOTE):
Connect the included remote bass level control to the REMOTE port. This allows for convenient adjustment of the subwoofer level from the driver's seat.
4. Bedriuwsinstruksjes
4.1. Earste ynskeakeljen
Nei't alle ferbiningen makke en ferifiearre binne, ferbine de negative batterijterminal fan 'e auto opnij. Skeakelje jo haad-ienheid oan. De amplifier should power on, indicated by an illuminated logo or power indicator.
4.2. Adjusting Input Level (Gain)
The INPUT LEVEL control (often referred to as gain) matches the ampde ynfiergefoelichheid fan 'e fersterker oan it útfiernivo fan jo holle-ienheid. It is gjin folumekontrôle.
- Draai de amplifier's INPUT LEVEL control to its minimum (fully counter-clockwise) setting.
- Stel it folume fan jo head-unit yn op sawat 75-80% fan it maksimale nivo.
- Spielje in dynamysk stik muzyk mei sterke basynhâld.
- Slowly increase the INPUT LEVEL control on the amplifier until you hear distortion, then back it off slightly until the sound is clean.
- Avoid setting the gain too high, as this can lead to clipping and damage to your subwoofers.
4.3. REM/DC/Audio Switch
This switch controls how the amplifier turns on:
- REM: De amplifier turns on via the remote turn-on wire from the head unit. This is the standard and recommended method.
- DC: De amplifier senses a DC offset on the speaker-level inputs (if using a line output converter or high-level input) and turns on automatically.
- Audio: De amplifier senses an audio signal on the RCA inputs and turns on automatically.
For most installations with an aftermarket head unit, set this switch to REM.
4.4. Remote Bass Level Control
The remote bass control allows you to adjust the subwoofer output level conveniently from the driver's position without needing to access the ampdirekt.
5. Underhâld
The Memphis Audio PRX1000.1V2 ampDe lifier fereasket minimaal ûnderhâld om prestaasjes op lange termyn te garandearjen.
- Reiniging: Periodyk de ampde bûtenkant fan 'e lifter mei in sêfte, droege doek. Brûk gjin agressive gemikaliën of skurende reinigingsmiddels.
- Ferbinings: Annually check all power, ground, remote, and speaker connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can cause intermittent performance or damage.
- Ventilaasje: Soargje derfoar dat de amplifier's cooling fins are not obstructed by debris or other objects to maintain proper heat dissipation.
