User manual CLARION DPX1000.2 INSTALLATION MANUAL

[. . . ] · All connections and controls of the DPX1000. 2 are on the end panels and are easy to understand. We use gold-plated RCA and barrier connectors to ensure the best electrical connection for your system. Included is a wired remote sub level control (BC2) for adjusting the amplifier gain from the front of the vehicle. · Multimode operation is a unique feature that allows the DPX1000. 2 to maximize power output at different loads. [. . . ] CONNECTIONS FOR POWER AND SPEAKERS The rear panel of the DPX1000. 2 contains power and speaker connections as shown below.

The table provides component values to create a 6dB per octave crossover at specified frequencies. Use components that have a + 5% tolerance and capacitors rated at 100V. Do not overlap frequencies, as this may damage the amplifier. 8 OWNER'S MANUAL INSTALLATION This section lists Mounting and Wiring Precautions for installing the Clarion DPX1000. 2. These safeguards provide enough detail to successfully complete an installation. If you do not have the necessary skills, Clarion recommends consulting your authorized Clarion dealer for installation. MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS Although the Clarion DPX1000. 2 incorporate heat sinks and protection circuits, mounting the amplifier in a tight space without any air movement can still damage internal circuitry over time. Choose a site that provides adequate ventilation around the amplifier. For easy system set-up, mount the amplifier so the front panel controls will be accessible after installation. For the most efficient cooling, mount the amplifier so cool air runs along the length of the fins rather than across them. Do not install the amplifier on plastic or other combustible materials. Prior to drilling, make sure proposed mounting holes will not cut into the fuel tank, fuel lines, brake lines (under chassis) or electrical wiring. If you are not sure of the connections, contact your authorized Clarion dealer. INSTALLATION 1. Before installation, make sure the source unit Power switch is in the OFF position. Disconnect the negative (-) lead of the battery before making any power connections. When making connections, be sure that each connection is clean and secure. A secure clean ground connection is critical to the performance of your Clarion amplifier. [. . . ] Check speaker continuity to ground, it should not show a common ground. Check location for adequate ventilation; consult an authorized Clarion Audio Dealer. Review Setting Gain; inspect each speaker cone for signs of damage (i. e. frozen cone, burning smell, etc. ) 13 TROUBLESHOOTING DPX1000. 2 Power System Amplifier Problem Audio lacks punch. [. . . ]
