2. Sleutel kenmerke

  • Speaker-level (High) & Line-level (Low) Inputs: Provides versatile connectivity options, allowing integration with both factory and aftermarket head units.
  • Hoë kraguitset: Delivers 800 Watts RMS at 1.33 Ohms, 600 Watts RMS at 2 Ohms, and 400 Watts RMS at 4 Ohms, ensuring robust power for subwoofers.
  • ParaBASS Low Frequency Contouring: Offers adjustable bass enhancement to fine-tune low-frequency response according to user preference.
  • Start-Stop Compliant & EV Compliant (17V): Engineered for modern vehicles, ensuring reliable operation during engine restarts and compatibility with electric vehicle power systems.
  • Linkwitz-Riley Crossover: Features a 24 dB/octave Linkwitz-Riley low-pass crossover for precise frequency separation and accurate sound reproduction.
  • GTO Signal Sense: Automatically activates the amplifier when an audio signal is detected, eliminating the need for a separate remote turn-on wire.
  • Bedienermodus: Restricts the amplifier's output to 25% of its maximum level, preventing excessive volume when the vehicle is operated by others.
  • Spike Mode: Allows connection of three 4 Ohm subwoofers at a 1.33 Ohm load for optimized power delivery and thermal stability.
  • Sleek Chassis: Designed for efficient heat dissipation and a compact form factor, suitable for various installation locations.

3. Wat is in die boks

Nadat u die pakkie oopgemaak het, maak seker dat alle items teenwoordig is:

  • AudioControl Altitude Amplifier (A800.1)
  • Hex Key(s)
  • High-Level input harness
  • Monteer skroewe
  • Gebruikersgids (hierdie handleiding)

4. Installasie

4.1 Veiligheidsmaatreëls

  • Ontkoppel die voertuig se negatiewe batteryklem voordat u enige elektriese werk begin.
  • Verseker behoorlike ventilasie vir die ampverligter om oorverhitting te voorkom.
  • Use appropriate wire gauges and fusing as specified.
  • Consult a professional installer if you are unsure about any steps.

4.2 Montering van die Amplewendiger

Choose a secure, dry location with adequate airflow. Use the provided mounting screws to firmly attach the amplifier to a solid surface in your vehicle. Avoid mounting on carpet or directly to metal without insulation.

4.3 Power and Ground Wiring

  1. Connect a 4 AWG power wire from the vehicle's positive battery terminal to the +12V terminal on the amplifier. Install a 100A fuse within 18 inches of the battery.
  2. Connect a 4 AWG ground wire from the amplifier's Ground terminal to a clean, solid metal point on the vehicle chassis. Ensure a good electrical connection by scraping away any paint.
  3. For remote turn-on, if not using GTO Signal Sense, connect a remote turn-on wire from your head unit to the Rmt In terminal.

4.4 Invoerverbindings

The A800.1 supports both speaker-level and line-level inputs.

  • Luidsprekervlak-insette: Use the provided high-level input harness to connect directly to your head unit's speaker outputs. This is ideal for factory systems without RCA pre-outs.
  • Line-Level Inputs (RCA): Connect RCA cables from your head unit's subwoofer pre-outs to the CH1/CH2 RCA inputs on the amplewendiger.

4.5 Output Connections (Subwoofers)

Connect your subwoofer(s) to the speaker output terminals on the amplifier. Observe correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).

  • Standaard verbinding: Connect a single subwoofer or multiple subwoofers in parallel/series to achieve a final impedance between 1.33 Ohms and 4 Ohms.
  • Spike Mode: For connecting three 4 Ohm subwoofers, wire them to achieve a 1.33 Ohm load. Refer to the wiring diagram below for Spike Mode configuration.

5. Bedryfsinstruksies

5.1 Aanvanklike opstart

After all connections are made, reconnect the vehicle's negative battery terminal. The amplifier's power indicator should illuminate. If not, check power and ground connections and the fuse.

5.2 Winsaanpassing

The Gain control matches the amplifier's input sensitivity to the output level of your head unit. Start with the gain set to minimum. Play a familiar music track with a strong bass signal at about 75% of your head unit's maximum volume. Slowly increase the ampVerhoog die versterker se versterking totdat jy vervorming hoor, en verminder dan effens. Dit verseker maksimum skoon uitset.

5.3 Oorkruisinginstellings

The A800.1 features a variable low-pass filter (LPF) and a subsonic filter.

  • Laedeurlaatfilter (LPF): Adjust the LPF frequency (typically 60-120 Hz) to blend the subwoofer's output seamlessly with your main speakers. Frequencies above the set point will be attenuated.
  • Subsoniese filter: This filter removes extremely low frequencies that are inaudible and can cause damage to your subwoofer. Set it slightly below your subwoofer enclosure's tuning frequency, if known, or typically between 20-30 Hz.

5.4 ParaBASS Adjustment

The ParaBASS control allows you to boost a specific range of low frequencies. Adjust the frequency knob to select the center frequency you wish to boost, then use the level knob to apply the desired amount of boost. Use this feature sparingly to avoid distortion.

5.5 Valet Mode

To activate Valet Mode, refer to the specific instructions in your full product manual or consult the AudioControl website. When active, the amplifier's output is limited to 25% of its maximum level.
