Summarization of Contents
Introduction
Product Introduction
ETON thanks you for purchasing this amplifier and congratulates you on the selection of this excellent product.
Operating Instructions
How to Operate the Amplifier
These operational instructions are designed to ensure correct installation and operation of the amplifier and its external devices.
Safety Instructions
Hearing Damage Warning
Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over 85dB may cause permanent hearing loss.
Driver Awareness and Volume
Use of sound components can impair your ability to hear necessary traffic sounds and may constitute a hazard while driving.
Vehicle Body Modification Caution
Contact dealer for advice on cutting metal; damage to body structures may void warranty.
Precautions - Read First
Battery Disconnection
Disconnect the battery negative terminal before installation to prevent damage, fire, or injury.
Qualified Personnel Installation
Amplifier installation and adjustment should only be entrusted to qualified personnel following the manual.
External Device Connection
Refer to the operation instructions for connecting external devices not belonging to this amplifier.
Unauthorized Modifications
Opening the amplifier or attempting repairs will void the warranty; contact your dealer for assistance.
Before Installation
System Layout Planning
Pre-planning your system layout and wiring routes will save installation time and ensure component accessibility.
Wire Routing Best Practices
Route power wires away from low-level cables and sensitive equipment to prevent noise induction.
RCA Cable Routing
Route RCA cables close together and away from high current wires for optimal signal integrity.
Drilling Safety
Be careful not to cut into gas tanks, fuel lines, or other vehicle systems when drilling.
Installation and Wiring
Securing Components
Ensure all system components are secured to prevent them from becoming dangerous projectiles during sudden stops or accidents.
Mounting Locations
Choose locations with adequate air circulation; avoid engine compartments to prevent warranty voidance.
Battery and Charging System
Check alternator and battery condition to ensure the electrical system can handle the amplifier's load.
Installation and Wiring Continued
Power and Ground Connections
Use correct wire gauges, ensure clean ground connections, and keep wires short for optimal performance.
Remote Turn-On Wire
Connect the remote turn-on wire to a switched 12-volt positive source for amplifier activation.
Connecting RCA Cables
Connect RCA cables to input jacks with power off to prevent damage to the amplifier and components.
Speaker Connections
Connect speakers with proper polarity, do not chassis ground speaker leads to ensure stable operation.
Troubleshooting
No Audio Issue
Check remote turn-on voltage, fuse, and ground connections; ensure speakers are connected and functional.
Distorted Audio Issue
Adjust input sensitivity, check speaker load impedance, and ensure amplifier is not run without speakers.
Low Audio Level Issue
Check turn-on voltage, electrical system voltage, and ensure proper ground connection.
Whining Noise Issue
Install an in-line noise filter, check grounds, and route cables away from ignition components.
Power Connections
Power Wire Size
Use appropriate wire gauge (min 50mm²) for high current draw, ensuring secure clamp connections.
Fuse Mounting
Mount fuses on the first 30 cm (or closer) of the positive power wire coming from the battery.
Speaker Wiring
Single Channel Operation
This is a single channel amplifier; outputs are paralleled internally for convenience.
2 Ohm Load Configuration
The amplifier sees a 2 ohms load when speakers are connected to either diagram shown.
Master/Slave Mode
Master/Slave Connection
Use a connection wire (min 10mm²) between the negative terminals of master and slave amplifiers.
Subwoofer Configuration
Connect subwoofer voice coil terminals to corresponding positive terminals of both master and slave amplifiers.
Impedance Check
Always check speaker load impedance with a multimeter; 1 Ohm stable only, damage occurs below 1 Ohm.
Control Panel Settings
RCA Input Jacks
Use high-quality RCA cables specifically designed for mobile applications.
Input Level Control
Adjust sensitivity clockwise to increase; counterclockwise to decrease for cooler operation and less noise.
Subsonic Filter Frequency
Adjust counterclockwise to eliminate rumble movements (large, slow, uncontrolled excursions).
Low Pass Frequency Control
Adjust clockwise to set crossover frequency, allowing higher frequencies to pass through.
Control Panel Settings Continued
Bass Boost Control
Adjusts bass boost level from 0dB to +9dB for selected frequency output.
Phase Control
Adjusts output phase between 0-180 degrees for faster bass response that syncs with front speakers.
Remote Control Jack
Connect the included remote control for adjusting the amplifier's level.
Master/Slave Switch
Select master or slave mode; remote control operates only the master amplifier.
Troubleshooting Guide
No Audio Issue Diagnosis
Check remote turn-on, voltage, fuse, and ground connections; ensure speakers are connected and functional.
Distorted Audio Diagnosis
Adjust input sensitivity, check speaker load impedance, and ensure amplifier is not run without speakers.
Low Audio Level Diagnosis
Check turn-on voltage, electrical system voltage, and ensure proper ground connection.
Whining Noise Diagnosis
Install an in-line noise filter, check grounds, and route cables away from ignition components.
