[. . . ] · Do not install the amplifier where it may be exposed to moisture. Remember to test all amplifier functions before completing the final mounting procedure. TYPICAL MOUNTING METHOD 2 XPA SERIES INSTALLATION Connection Descriptions NOTE Be sure to follow specific instructions included with your amplifier installation kit (not included with this amplifier). Power Wire (+12V) · Disconnect negative battery terminal before proceeding. Begin by routing the power +12V wire from the battery to the amplifier location. [. . . ] · Never run any wires underneath or outside the vehicle. 3 XPA SERIES INSTALLATION Power and Speaker Connections XPA2100 1 2 3 4 5 XPA4100 1 5 4 3 2 XPA6100 1 1 2 3 Speaker Connection(s) Ground Connection Remote Connection 5 4 5 4 3 2 +12VDC Battery Connection Fuse(s) 4 XPA SERIES INSTALLATION Audio Inputs and Controls XPA2100 1 8 2 3 4 5 6 7 XPA4100 1 7 2 3 4 5 6 7 XPA6100 1 1 2 3 4 LED Indicator Bass Boost 2 4 5 5 6 7 8 6 7 Input Level Control High Level Inputs Low Level Inputs Input Mode Switch Crossover Mode Switch Crossover Frequency 5 XPA SERIES INSTALLATION Typical Wire Routing 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. Fuse Rating When replacing fuses, make sure new fuse is the correct type and amperage. Using an incorrect fuse could damage the amplifier. Power/Ground Wire Size For optimum performance, use only the wire size listed below or larger. Make sure to use the same size power and ground wire. XPA2100 25 amp ATO x 1 XPA4100 25 amp ATO x 2 XPA6100 20 amp ATO x 2 XPA2100 10 gauge XPA4100 8 gauge XPA6100 8 gauge 6 XPA SERIES INSTALLATION Amplifier Connections Speaker Connections Connect speaker wires observing polarity. The minimum impedance load for the XPA2100 and XPA4100 is 2 ohms stereo and 4 ohms bridged. Use of loads lower than these is not recommended and may cause amplifier damage. The XPA2100 and XPA4100 can be wired for stereo, bridged or stereo/bridged simultaneous operation. 2 Speakers (stereo) Subwoofer (mono) Typical Stereo Wiring (2 ohms minimum) Typical Bridged Wiring (4 ohms minimum) XPA2100 speaker connections shown Input Signal Connections Low Level Input (RCA) Low level (RCA) input signal is preferred for best performance. Typical trunk-mount amplifier installations require a 17-20 foot RCA cable. 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. CAUTION Do not use both low and high level inputs at the same time - connect only one or the other. 7 XPA SERIES OPERATION Configuration/Setup Input level Control The input level control (gain) is used to obtain the best possible match between the head unit audio output and the amplifier input. Adjust the input level control clockwise until audible distortion is heard, then slightly counterclockwise to provide the best match. Crossover Mode (XPA2100 & XPA4100) 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 FULL when using with coaxial-type speakers. NOTE Choose FULL when using the amplifier in stereo/bridged simultaneous mode. Failure to use the correct passive components may damage the amplifier and/or speakers.
