Electrical interference The inside of an automobile is a very hostile electrical environment. The multitude of electrical systems, such as the ignition system, alternator, fuel pumps, air conditioners, to mention just a few, create radiated electrical fields, as well as noise on the +12 volt supply and ground. Remember to isolate the problem - first unplug amplifier input RCA cables, if the noise is still present, check the speaker leads, if not, plug the RCA’s back, and investigate the source d
SAMSON HIGH PERFORMANCE AMPLIFIERS The Samson Series products have been designed to a very high level of performance, with features unavailable in any other product. All of the amplifiers have variable crossovers built in, with added touches such as subsonic filter, bass equalization and a remote Level control module(some models) that allows subwoofer Level control from the drivers seat. To ensure years of listening pleasure, all amplifiers have a built in diagnostic mode that will detect shorte
- 1/2CH X-OVER: FULL - 3/4CH X-OVER: LPF The following example shows how to create a 3 channel system by mono bridging channel pair 3 / 4. In order to create a 2 channel system, simply follow Crossover frequency control checklist: the example to also mono bridge channel pair 1 / 2. Channels 1/2: - HI PASS: N/A Interconnect cable checklist: - LOW PASS: N/A - Connect the inputs of channel pair 1/2 to a suitable stereo source, e.g. a head unit with good quality RCA cables. Channels 3/4: - A MONO si
Finally, connect the main +12 volt cable to the battery, with the main fuse removed, and we are almost ready to power up the system. Power up the system: The following procedure may seem like overkill, but there is nothing more frustrating when turning on a system for the first time, and it does not work properly immediately. First, make sure the head unit is off, and turn all level controls to minimum (counterclockwise), including the head unit volume control. Set all equalizers to 0 dB (no boo
- LOW PASS: N/A Interconnect cable checklist: Channels 3/4: - Connect the four inputs of the amplifier to a Radio/CD with quality RCA cables. - HI PASS: N/A - LOW PASS: N/A Switch setting checklist: - 1/2CH X-OVER: FULL Level control checklist: - 3/4CH X-OVER: FULL - Refer to the section “Setting up systems after installation for best performance” Crossover frequency control checklist: Minimum final loudspeaker impedances: Channels 1/2: - 2 ohm per channel. Here we show how to use the 4 channel
1 - Check all connections, especially for good grounds. 2 - Make sure that no speaker leads are shorting to exposed metal on the vehicle chassis. 3 -RCA cables are notorious for their problematic nature, so check that these are good, in particular the shield connections. We have also provided several videos that will help you with your battery, alternator and even Big 3 upgrades at . 10 As the manufacturer of Maxxsonics, MB Quart, Autotek, Crunch and Hifonics car audio products, Maxxsonics USA I
The next step is to scrape the paint off the vehicle chassis , slightly larger than the ground lug, at the connection point. Drill a clearance hole in the chassis, the same size as the lug hole, and use a bolt, spring washer and nut to securely fasten the ground lug. Use petroleum jelly to coat the bolt/lug connection, to prevent oxidization with time. TIP: Use the same approach when installing head units, equalizers or any audio equipment for that matter - run short individual grounds from each
LOW PASS: N/A Interconnect cable checklist: Channels 3/4: - Using good quality RCA cables, feed the front and rear outputs of a head unit to - HI PASS: 100 Hz the inputs of the 4 channel amplifier as shown. - LOW PASS: N/A - Also connect the LINE OUT of the 4 channel amplifier to the LINE INPUT of the 2 channel amplifier as shown. 2 channel bass amplifier: - HI PASS (Subsonic filter): 10 Hz to 40 Hz Mono bass woofer wiring: - LOW PASS: 80 Hz Connect the mono speaker positive terminal to the LEFT
