DA304 DA602 DA604 DA904 DA4001 DA6001 DA8001 PERFORMANCE SERIES INSTALLATION / OWNER'S MANUAL Mobile Power Amplifiers INSTALLATION Preparation Please 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 • Disconnect negative battery terminal. (consult a qualified technician for instructions) • Avoid installing the amplifier where it would be subject to high temperatures, such as from direct sunlight, or where it would be subject to dust, dirt or excessive vibration. • Use extreme caution when drilling holes to avoid damaging fuel lines or existing vehicle wiring. • All amplifier installations require power, signal and speaker wires (not included). • An amplifier installation kit (sold separately) is highly recommended to facilitate the installation. Consult your dealer for recommendations. Mounting Location • Choose a mounting location for the amplifier. Suggested locations include under a seat or in the trunk. • The amplifier can be mounted horizontal (recommended) or vertical. For optimum performance, make sure to provide at least 1" of space around all sides. Do not mount the amplifier under carpets or where airflow is restricted. • Do not install the amplifier where it may be exposed to moisture. • The optimum mounting location varies between vehicles. Remember to test all amplifier functions before completing the final mounting procedure. TYPICAL MOUNTING METHOD 2 INSTALLATION Connection Descriptions NOTE: Be sure to follow specific instructions included with your amplifier installation kit (not included with this amplifier). The information below should be used as a general guideline only. Power Wire (+12V) • Disconnect negative battery terminal before proceeding. Consult a qualified technician for instructions if you are unsure. • Plan wire routing before cutting any wires to length. Begin by routing the power +12V wire from the battery to the amplifier location. Use a grommet when running wires through the firewall or metal openings. Avoid running the power wire near existing vehicle wiring to prevent induced noise from entering the audio system. • Use extreme caution when drilling holes to avoid damaging fuel lines or existing vehicle wiring. • The +12V wire MUST be fused within 18" of the battery for protection of the vehicle’s electrical system. Ground Wire (GND) • The amplifier ground wire should be as short as possible (no more than 36" or 1 meter). Choose a clean unpainted section of metal or the vehicle chassis when attaching the ground connection. Be sure to clean the area of any dirt or grease. Remote Turn-on Wire (REM) • The remote turn-on wire connects to the head unit's amplifier turn-on lead or power antenna output. Speaker Wires • Choose adequate gauge speaker wire depending on your exact amplifier/speaker combination. Be sure to observe polarity when connecting. • Do not ground any speaker wires or connect any speaker wires together. Input Signal • The amplifier's input signal connects to the head unit's low level (RCA) or high level (speaker wire) outputs. • Low level input signals deliver the best performance. If unavailable, use the high level inputs - when interfacing with factory head unit for instance. CAUTION • Do not use both low and high level inputs at the same time. Connect only one or the other. • Keep low level inputs away from any power wires to avoid engine noise. • Never run any wires underneath or outside the vehicle. 3 INSTALLATION Audio Inputs and Controls DA602 1 1 4 2 3 2 4 4 5 5 6 7 6 7 8 8 1 High Level Inputs 5 Hi-Pass Filter 2 RCA Line Inputs 6 Crossover Mode 3 Pass Through 7 Low-Pass Filter 4 Gain 8 Bass Boost DA304 DA604 DA904 INSTALLATION Power and Speaker Connections DA602 1 3 2 4 5 DA304 1 1 3 2 3 2 4 4 5 5 1 Speaker Connections 4 Remote Turn On 2 Fuse(s) 5 Ground Connection 3 +12VDC Battery Connection DA604 DA904 5 INSTALLATION Audio Inputs and Controls 1 6 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 DA4001 DA6001 DA8001 1 RCA Line Inputs 6 Bass Boost 2 Pass Through 7 Low Pass Filter 3 Gain 8 Slave/Master Controls 4 Phase Control 9 Data Link 5 Subsonic Filter 10 Remote INSTALLATION Power and Speaker Connections DA4001 1 3 2 4 5 DA6001 1 3 2 4 5 DA8001 1 3 2 4 5 1 Speaker Connections 4 Remote Turn On 2 Fuse(s) 5 Ground Connection 3 +12VDC Battery Connection 7 INSTALLATION Typical Wire Routing MAXIMUM GROUND FUSE No more than 36" (1 meter) 12V BATTERY 12V DC (Power) RCA CABLES SPEAKERS 2-8 ohms 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. 8 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. For optimum performance, use only the wire size listed below or larger. Make sure to use the same size power and ground wire. DA602 20A x 1 DA304 30A x 1 DA604 20A x 2 DA904 30A x 2 DA4001 30A x 3 DA6001 30A x 4 DA8001 30A x 5 DA304 4 Ga. DA602 4 Ga. DA604 4 Ga. DA904 4 Ga. DA4001 2 Ga. DA6001 2 Ga. DA8001 2 Ga. INSTALLATION Amplifier Connections Speaker Connections Connect speaker wires observing polarity. The minimum impedance load for the DA304, DA602, DA604 and DA904 is 2 ohms stereo and 4 ohms bridged. Use of loads lower than these is not recommended and may cause amplifier damage. The DA304, DA602, DA604 and DA904 can be wired for stereo, bridged or stereo/bridged simultaneous operation. 2 Speakers (stereo) Subwoofer (mono) 2-8 ohms 1-8 ohms Typical Stereo Wiring (2 ohms minimum) Typical Bridged Wiring (4 ohms minimum) DA602 speaker connections shown Input Signal Connections Low Level Input (RCA) Low level (RCA) input signal is preferred for best performance. Typical trunkmount amplifier installations require a 17-20 foot RCA cable. Most trucks and under-seat applications require a 6-9 foot RCA cable. Using twisted pair construction RCA cables will minimize noise. High-Level Input (speaker cables) High Level Input (Speaker Wire) High level inputs should only be used when RCA outputs are not available from the head unit. Connect the head unit speaker outputs to the high level input connector as shown below. The black wire (signal reference ground) may or may not require a connection to chassis ground - depending on your particular installation. Low-Level Input (RCA) Note: Do not use both low and high level inputs at the same time - connect only one or the other. High level inputs not available on DA4001, DA6001 and DA8001. 9 INSTALLATION Master/Slave Mode The Dual mono amplifiers feature a Master/Slave mode, where two amplifiers can be connected together. When two mono amplifiers are connected together, the power from both amplifiers is combined. 10 INSTALLATION Master/Slave Mode (cont.) *MASTER For master amplifier, set the switch to master. This will route the signal through Line-out to the slave amplifier. Set the phase to 0, all adjustments for gain and sound are done on this amplifier. The remote subwoofer control should be connected to master amplifier as well. *SLAVE For slave amplifier, set the switch to slave and phase to 180. Connect the Line-out of master amplifier to input on this amplifier. All adjustments should be set to minimum. Connect Data-Link plug from master to slave amplifier. For speaker connection, the positive (+) of the speaker connects to positive (+) of master and negative (-) of the speaker connects to positive (+) of slave amplifier. Connect both negatives (-) of master and slave each other. NOTE: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, USE WIRE 12 AWG OR THICKER FOR THE NEGATIVE TO NEGATIVE CONNECTION. *MINIMUM IMPEDANCE MUST NOT BE LOWER THAN 2 OHMS 11 INSTALLATION 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. The crossover is used to filter out frequencies above or below a certain point. Choose LPF when using the amplifier with subwoofers, HPF when using with midrange/tweeter combinations and FLAT when using with coaxial-type speakers. Note: Choose FLAT when using the amplifier in stereo/bridged simultaneous mode. In this mode, passive crossovers are required. Failure to use the correct passive components may damage the amplifier and/or speakers. Consult a qualified professional for recommendations. Crossover Frequency Control Bass Boost This control allows precise adjustment of the crossover frequency. This control provides additional boost @ 45Hz when used with subwoofers. Adjust this control with caution - as improper use can damage speakers! Subsonic Filter (DA4001, DA6001 & DA8001) Setting this control to the desired frequency will limit harmful frequencies below the setting from going to the subwoofer(s), preventing possible damage from frequencies that subwoofers are not designed to handle. LED Indicators The green LED indicator illuminates during normal operation (POWER) and the red LED indicator is visible when the amplifier detects a fault (PROTECT). 12 INSTALLATION Troubleshooting Problem Cause Action +12V wire not connected or incorrect Check connections for proper voltage Unit will not turn on voltage.
