1. Identify Speaker Wires: Locate the factory speaker wires from the head unit or factory amplifier that you intend to use as the input for the AX-ADCT2. Typically, these are the rear speaker wires for subwoofer applications or front speaker wires for full-range ampలిఫికేషన్.
2. Connect High-Level Input: Connect the factory speaker wires to the corresponding high-level input terminals on the AX-ADCT2. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative) for each channel (Left and Right). The AX-ADCT2 features a 'Hi-IN' input section with 'L' and 'R' terminals.
3. విద్యుత్ మరియు గ్రౌండ్ కనెక్షన్లు:
   • కనెక్ట్ చేయండి గ్రౌండ్ wire (usually black) from the AX-ADCT2 harness to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the vehicle chassis.
   • కనెక్ట్ చేయండి 12V Constant Power wire (usually yellow) from the AX-ADCT2 harness to a constant 12V power source.
   • కనెక్ట్ చేయండి రిమోట్ టర్న్-ఆన్ wire (usually blue) from the AX-ADCT2 harness to the remote turn-on output of your aftermarket head unit or to a switched 12V source that turns on with the ignition. This wire will provide the remote turn-on signal for your aftermarket ampజీవితకాలం.
4. Connect RCA Outputs: Connect RCA cables from the 'OUTPUT' jacks on the AX-ADCT2 to the RCA input jacks on your aftermarket ampజీవితకాలం.
5. Adjust Output Levels: The AX-ADCT2 features separate variable level adjustments for each channel. Use a small screwdriver to carefully adjust these potentiometers to match the input sensitivity of your aftermarket amplifier. Start with the levels at their minimum setting and gradually increase them until the desired output is achieved without distortion.
6. పరీక్షా వ్యవస్థ: Reconnect the vehicle's battery. Turn on the audio system and test for proper functionality. Adjust the level controls on the AX-ADCT2 and your amplifier as needed to achieve balanced sound.
