5. Fametrahana
Ny fametrahana araka ny tokony ho izy dia zava-dehibe amin'ny fampandehanana sy ny faharetan'ny fiainanao amplifier. Raha tsy azonao antoka ny ampahany amin'ny fizotry ny fametrahana dia miresaha amin'ny mpanentana audio momba ny fiara matihanina.
5.1 Fametrahana ny AmpLifer
Choose a mounting location that provides adequate ventilation and protects the amplifier from moisture. The amplifier can be mounted horizontally or vertically using the supplied hardware.
- Ensure the mounting surface is solid and free from obstructions.
- Drill pilot holes for the mounting screws, taking care not to damage any vehicle components behind the surface.
- Secure ny amplifier firmly using the provided screws and washers.

5.2 Fifandraisana tariby
All wiring connections should be made with the vehicle's battery disconnected.
5.2.1 Power Connection (+12V)
Connect a suitable gauge power wire directly from the vehicle's positive battery terminal to the +12V terminal on the amplifier. An inline fuse holder with the appropriate fuse rating (refer to specifications) must be installed within 18 inches (45 cm) of the battery.
5.2.2 Ground Connection (GND)
Connect a wire of the 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 connection point is free of paint, rust, or debris for optimal conductivity.
5.2.3 Remote Turn-On Connection (REM)
Connect a 18-gauge wire from the REM terminal on the amplifier to the remote turn-on output of your source unit (head unit). This wire signals the amplifier to turn on and off with the source unit.
5.2.4 Fifandraisana fidirana
The CXA8001 amplifier supports both low-level (RCA) and high-level (speaker-level) inputs.
- Fidirana Ambany Ambaratonga (RCA): Connect RCA cables from the subwoofer output of your source unit to the INPUT RCA jacks on the ampLifer.
- High-Level Input (Speaker-Level): If your source unit does not have RCA outputs, connect the speaker wires from your source unit directly to the INPUT terminals on the amphazavana. Hamarino tsara ny polarity.
5.2.5 Speaker Output Connection
Connect your subwoofer(s) to the SPEAKER terminals on the amplifier. Ensure the total impedance of the connected subwoofers is within the amplifier's stable operating range (1-Ohm minimum). Observe correct polarity for all speaker connections.

6.1 Mahazo fifehezana
Mifanaraka amin'ny ampny fahatsapan'ny lifier ny fidirana amin'ny haavon'ny output an'ny singa loharano. Mba hametrahana ny gain:
- Avadiho ny fanaraha-maso GAIN amplifier all the way down (counter-clockwise).
- Turn the source unit volume up to about 75% of its maximum level.
- Ampitomboy tsikelikely ny fanaraha-maso ny GAIN eo amin'ny amplifier until you hear slight audible distortion, then back it off slightly.
6.2 Low-Pass Filter (LPF) Crossover
The LPF control sets the upper frequency limit for the subwoofer. Frequencies above this setting will be filtered out. Adjust this control to blend the subwoofer's output seamlessly with your main speakers.
6.3 Bass Boost (KickEQ)
The BASS BOOST control provides an adjustable low-frequency enhancement. Use this sparingly to add impact to your bass. Excessive bass boost can lead to distortion and potential damage to your subwoofers.
6.4 Subsonic sivana
The SUBSONIC FILTER removes ultra-low frequencies that are below the audible range and can cause subwoofers to over-excurt without producing useful sound. This protects your subwoofers and improves overall sound quality. Adjust this to a frequency slightly below the tuning frequency of your ported enclosure, or around 25-30 Hz for sealed enclosures.
7. Fikojakojana
The Kicker 46CXA8001 amplifier requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines:
- Tsidiho tsindraindray ny fifandraisan'ny tariby rehetra mba hahazoana antoka fa azo antoka sy tsy misy harafesina.
- Tazony ny amplifier clean and free of dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
- Hamarino tsara ny fikorianan'ny rivotra manodidina ny amplifier mba hisorohana ny hafanana be loatra.
