MOST important to us are the concerns with safety and the installation process. Since our Blaupunkt retail dealers have the tools and experience for an optimized and safe installation, we always recommend they do the final vehicle integration. But, should you choose to install these products yourself, please take the time to read this manual completely and abide by all precautions.
AFETY ONCERNS We always recommend you have your Blaupunkt amplifiers professionally installed but the installation process is often so easy that the average consumer can achieve success with little trouble. Regardless of the person installing, you should be sure to review the following points...
YSTEM LANNING Before wiring up an audio system that may not achieve the sound quality you want, be sure to choose a system concept that fits your listening requirements. Basic systems, a receiver with internal 4x20 watts and 4 coax speakers, are adequate for many listeners.

YSTEM ONFIGURATION Full-Range Full-Range Full-Range Full-Range 2 Channel Full-Range This installation is most popular for listeners who want to simply increase the power to the rear speakers in a car. The resulting performance is most commonly a louder overall sound field from the rear. But, such a system’s biggest benefit is the additional bass response since the bass control of the radio can be turned up without distorting the amplifier.

YSTEM ONFIGURATION Full-Range Full-Range Full-Range Full-Range 4 Channel Full-Range For many listeners, they need only slightly higher system loudness and/or music dynamic range without the amplifier going into distortion. By simply adding additional power to the speakers this can be achieved in many installations. BUT, the speakers must be able to handle this additional power without damage.
ROUBLE SHOOTING Below is a basic trouble-shooting guide to assist in seeking out and correcting a problem that may occur in the installation process. Although lengthy, this chart cannot address every single problem possible but mainly the ones most common. SYMPTOM No power (power light not on) Power but no sound (power light is on)
