  • Multimetar
  • Alati za uklanjanje panela
  • Screwdrivers/socket set

Dijagram ožičenja i spojevi:

  1. Odspojite bateriju: Before starting, disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery to prevent electrical shorts.
  2. Access Factory Radio: Carefully remove the necessary trim panels and components to gain access to the back of the factory radio.
  3. Identificirajte žice zvučnika: Using a vehicle-specific wiring diagram or a multimeter, identify the factory speaker output wires (positive and negative for each channel) from the factory radio harness.
  4. Connect Input Harness: Connect the vehicle-specific wiring harness provided with the AXLOC-FD2 to the factory radio harness. This harness will typically plug in-line with the factory radio, intercepting the speaker outputs.
  5. Connect AXLOC-FD2 Module: Plug the main connector from the vehicle-specific harness into the AXLOC-FD2 module.
  6. Spojite RCA izlaze: Connect the RCA output cables from the AXLOC-FD2 module to the RCA inputs of your aftermarket ampsredstvo za podsticanje.
  7. Connect Remote Turn-On: The AXLOC-FD2 provides a 12-volt accessory output (remote turn-on) for your amplifier. Connect this wire to the remote turn-on input of your amplifier. This eliminates the need to find a separate switched 12V source.
  8. Priključak na uzemljenje: Ensure the AXLOC-FD2 module has a solid ground connection. The vehicle-specific harness should provide this, but always verify.
  9. Montaža: Securely mount the AXLOC-FD2 module in a suitable location, away from heat and moisture, ensuring it does not interfere with any moving parts or vehicle components.

Upute za rad

Podešavanje pojačanja:

The AXLOC-FD2 features adjustable gain controls to match the output level of the factory radio to the input sensitivity of your aftermarket amplifier. Proper gain setting is crucial for optimal sound quality and to prevent distortion.

  1. Početna postavka: Start with the gain controls on the AXLOC-FD2 set to their minimum position (fully counter-clockwise).
  2. AmpDobitak lifiera: Set the gain control on your aftermarket amplifier to its minimum position.
  3. Reproduciraj glazbu: Play a dynamic piece of music through your factory radio at about 75% of its maximum volume.
  4. Adjust AXLOC-FD2 Gain: Slowly increase the gain controls on the AXLOC-FD2 until you hear a slight distortion, then back off slightly until the sound is clean.
  5. prilagoditi AmpDobitak lifiera: Once the AXLOC-FD2 gain is set, slowly increase the gain control on your amplifier until the desired volume is achieved without distortion.
  6. Fino podešavanje: Make small adjustments to both the AXLOC-FD2 and amplifier gains as needed to achieve the best sound quality. Avoid setting gains too high, as this will introduce distortion and can damage speakers.
