PREFACE
The AX-DSP-X can be used with an aftermarket system, OEM system, and also an OEM system that is amplified with either an analog or digitally controlled (fixed signal) OEM amplifier.
The AX-DSP-X can also grow as your stereo system grows. Start off by adding a subwoofer to an OEM system, then add on from there. Simply reference the Installation Options page to
change the AX-DSP-X to the new system. All 10 channels of the AX-DSP-X can be assigned however needed for the installation at hand. If 10 channels of a subwoofer signal is needed,
the AX-DSP-X can do it.
In the following section, Installation Options, choose the installation type, then either click on the hyperlink, or reference the page number.
It is highly suggested to use an AX-DSP-X pre-wired harness (sold separately) unless you are installing it with an aftermarket radio. As such, the instructions are written in that
manner. Certain connections to the vehicle are unique per vehicle and will require the pre-wired harness to reference to.
The AX-DSP-X provides a 12v 1-amp output to turn on an aftermarket amplifier. If installing multiple amplifiers, an SPDT automotive relay will be required if the current exceeds that
amount. Use Metra part number E-123 (sold separately) for best results.
If installing the AX-DSP-X behind the radio to install a sub amp, the OEM amp can be retained for mids/highs. If installing the AX-DSP-X at the OEM amp location, the OEM amp must
be fully removed.
In most cases the CAN Bus wires need to be connected in order for the AX-DSP-X to communicate with the vehicle to turn on and provide an amp turn-on output.
