5. Pengaturan dan Instalasi
Pemasangan yang tepat sangat penting untuk kinerja optimal dan umur pakai yang lebih lama. amppenguat. Ikuti langkah-langkah ini dengan cermat.
5.1 Lokasi Pemasangan
Choose a mounting location that is dry, well-ventilated, and protected from direct sunlight or excessive heat. Ensure there is enough space around the amplifier for air circulation. The compact size of the CANDY-X2B allows for flexible placement options.
5.2 Koneksi Kabel
Refer to the diagrams below for proper wiring of power, ground, remote, input, and speaker outputs.
Koneksi Daya dan Ground:
- GND (Tanah): Connect this terminal to a clean, unpainted metal surface of the vehicle chassis. Ensure a solid connection for optimal performance and safety.
- REM (Pengaktifan Jarak Jauh): Connect this to the remote output of your head unit. This signal turns the amplifier on and off with your audio system.
- +12V (Daya): Connect this terminal directly to the positive terminal of your vehicle's battery. An inline fuse (not supplied, typically 25A for this model) should be installed within 18 inches of the battery.
Koneksi Output Speaker:
Connect your speakers to the LEFT and RIGHT speaker output terminals. For bridged mode operation, refer to the diagram and connect to the designated BRIDGE terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).

Koneksi Input:
The CANDY-X2B supports both Low-Level (RCA) and High-Level inputs.
- Input Level Rendah (RCA): Hubungkan kabel RCA dari pra-unit kepala Andaamp keluaran ke amplifier's INPUT L and R RCA jacks.
- Masukan Tingkat Tinggi: If your head unit does not have RCA outputs, use the supplied high-level input harness. Connect the speaker wires from your head unit to the corresponding wires on the harness, then plug the harness into the amplifier's HIGH INPUT port.

6. Petunjuk Pengoperasian
Suatu ketika amplifier is installed, adjust the settings for optimal audio performance.
6.1 Panel Kontrol Selesaiview
The front panel of the CANDY-X2B features several controls for fine-tuning your audio output:
- PENINGKATAN BASS: Adjusts the bass level enhancement (0dB to +12dB). Use sparingly to avoid distortion.
- FREQ (Frekuensi): Selects the crossover frequency for the Low Pass Filter (LPF) or High Pass Filter (HPF).
- X-OVER (Saklar Crossover): Selects between FULL (full range), LPF (Low Pass Filter), or HPF (High Pass Filter) modes.
- MENDAPATKAN: cocok dengan ampSesuaikan sensitivitas input amplifier dengan level output head unit Anda. Mulailah dengan gain minimum dan tingkatkan secara perlahan hingga volume yang diinginkan tercapai tanpa distorsi.

6.2 Initial Setup and Tuning
- Setel semua amplifier controls (Gain, Bass Boost) to their minimum positions.
- Atur volume head unit Anda sekitar 75% dari volume maksimumnya.
- Perlahan tingkatkan amplifier's GAIN control until you hear slight distortion, then back off slightly.
- Adjust the X-OVER switch and FREQ knob according to your speaker type:
- For full-range speakers, set X-OVER to PENUH.
- For subwoofers, set X-OVER to LPF and adjust FREQ to the desired low-pass cutoff (e.g., 80Hz-120Hz).
- For component speakers or tweeters, set X-OVER to HPF and adjust FREQ to the desired high-pass cutoff (e.g., 80Hz-120Hz).
- Use the BASS BOOST control sparingly to enhance bass if desired, ensuring no distortion occurs.
