User manual DUAL XIA3145

[. . . ] · 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 XIA3145 INSTALLATION NOTE: Be sure to follow specific instructions included with your amplifier installation kit (not included with this amplifier). The information below should be used a general guideline only. Connection Descriptions Power Wire (+12V) · Disconnect negative battery terminal before proceeding. Begin by routing the power +12V wire from the battery to the amplifier location.

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. Main fuse 20 amp ATO x 2 illuminite fuse 2 amp ATO x 1 Power/Ground Wire Size For optimum performance, use only the wire size listed below or larger. Power/ground 8 gauge illuminite output 18 gauge 5 XIA3145 INSTALLATION Output Connections The lighting elements of DUAL illuminite speakers provide you with a unique custom touch to your vehicle. Dual's patent pending illuminite LED system and control circuitry provides an extraordinary blue-hue illumination which allows great creative opportunities for the beginner and seasoned custom installer alike. DUAL XIA-series amplifiers provide a dedicated switched 12VDC output including independent fused protection (2 amp) specifically for use with illuminite speakers. The first is labeled audio input terminals and the second is labeled illuminite lighting inputs. The inputs are clearly marked with a label positioned directly above the terminal housing. The polarity (+ and -) indicators for each set of inputs also appear on these labels. Do not connect the amplifier speaker outputs or any audio source to the illuminite lighting inputs. Make sure to observe polarity as the illuminite circuitry will not operate when connected reverse polarity. Connect either red wire from the XIA amplifier illuminite outputs to the positive (+) illuminite input terminal and connect either black wire from the XIA amplifier illuminite outputs to the negative (-) illuminite input. Additional illuminite wiring notes: Several illuminite speakers can be connected to the 12VDC illuminite output at one time. Refer to the table below for the individual illuminite speaker current requirements. If you are unsure, consult a qualified professional or call DUAL technical assistance at 1-866-382-5476 for further information. illuminite current requirements (per speaker) XiNC112 - 55mA XiNC110 - 55mA XiNBP210 - 180mA XiNBP212 - 180mA OUTPUT CONNECTOR (Plugs into amplifier) 6 XIA3145 INSTALLATION Amplifier Connections Speaker Connections Connect speaker wires observing polarity. Use of loads lower than these is not recommended and may cause amplifier damage. The XIA3145 can be wired for stereo, bridged or stereo/bridged simultaneous operation. Typical Stereo Wiring (2 ohms minimum) 2 Speakers (stereo) Subwoofer (mono) Typical Bridged Wiring (4 ohms minimum) 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.
