INSTALLATION Typical Wire Routing MAXIMUM GROUND FUSE 12V BATTERY 12V DC (Power) RCA CABLES SPEAKERS REM (Remote Turn On) Main Power Connections Connect +12V, GND and REM wires accordingly. A suitable fuse MUST be installed on the +12V lead within 18" of the battery for protection of the vehicle’s electrical system. 6 Fuse Rating Power/Ground Wire Size When replacing fuses, make sure new fuse is the correct type and amperage. Using an incorrect fuse could damage the amplifier.
INSTALLATION Amplifier Connections Speaker Connections 2 Speakers (stereo) Subwoofer (mono) Typical Stereo Wiring Typical Bridged Wiring Connect speaker wires observing polarity. The minimum impedance load for the AXA20 and AXA40D is 2 ohms stereo and 4 ohms bridged. Use of loads lower than these is not recommended and may cause amplifier damage. The AXA20 and AXA40D can be wired for stereo, bridged or stereo/ bridged simultaneous operation.
OPERATION Configuration/Setup Input level Control Crossover Mode The input level control (gain) is used to obtain the best possible match between the head unit audio output and the amplifier input. Begin by turning the input level control fully counterclockwise. Next, turn up the head unit volume control around 3/4 of the way up. Adjust the input level control clockwise until audible distortion is heard, then slightly counterclockwise to provide the best match. Repeat for all input level controls.
OPERATION Troubleshooting Problem Unit will not turn on (no power LED indicator) Cause GND wire not connected Fuse(s) blown Speaker wires not connected Volume turned all the way down One or more speaker wires touching each Unit has power - LED is other or touching chassis ground green (but no sound) Speaker(s) defective or damaged Input signal not connected Unit blows fuse(s) Incorrect fuse rating +12V wire touching chassis ground Speaker(s) defective or damaged Bad ground connection Engine noise Sig
