5. Орнотуу жана орнотуу
5.1. Жайгаштыруу
The compact design of the CPE120 allows for flexible placement. Common locations include:
- Underneath a car seat (ensure adequate clearance and ventilation).
- In the trunk of a sedan.
- Behind or under the rear seat of a truck or SUV.
Ensure the subwoofer is securely mounted to prevent movement. Consider the proximity to the vehicle's battery for power wiring and the head unit for signal wiring.
5.2. Зымдарды туташтыруу
Кандайдыр бир туташтырууларды жасоодон мурун, унааңыздын аккумуляторунун терс (-) терминалын ажыратыңыз.

Image 5.1: Control panel with wiring terminals and adjustment knobs.
- Күч (BATT+): Connect a suitable gauge power wire (e.g., 8 AWG or 4 AWG depending on total system power) directly from the vehicle's positive battery terminal to the BATT+ terminal on the subwoofer. Install an in-line fuse holder (with an appropriate fuse, typically 40A-60A) as close to the battery as possible (within 18 inches).
- Жер (GND): Connect a short (less than 3 feet) and equally suitable gauge ground wire from the GND terminal on the subwoofer to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the vehicle's chassis. Ensure a good electrical connection by scraping away any paint or rust.
- Алыстан күйгүзүү (REM): Connect a remote turn-on wire from your head unit's remote output (usually a blue/white wire) to the REM terminal on the subwoofer. This wire tells the subwoofer to turn on and off with your head unit. If your head unit does not have a remote output, you may use the "Auto Turn On" feature (see Section 6.1).
- Аудио киргизүү:
- Төмөн деңгээл киргизүү (RCA): If your head unit has RCA pre-outs, connect RCA cables from the head unit's subwoofer or full-range outputs to the "LOW INPUT" RCA jacks on the subwoofer.
- Жогорку деңгээлдеги киргизүү (динамик деңгээли): If your head unit does not have RCA outputs, use the included high-level input harness. Connect the speaker wires from your head unit's rear speakers (or full-range speakers) to the corresponding wires on the high-level input harness. Plug the harness into the "HIGH INPUT" connector on the subwoofer.
- Деңгээлди алыстан башкаруу: Connect the remote bass knob cable to the "REMOTE LEVEL" port on the subwoofer. Mount the remote knob in an accessible location for easy adjustment.
After all connections are made, reconnect the negative battery terminal.
6. Иштетүү жана тууралоо
The control panel on the subwoofer allows for fine-tuning of the audio output. Refer to Image 5.1 for control locations.
6.1. Башкаруу панелинин функциялары
- FUSE: Main power fuse for protection. Replace only with a fuse of the same rating.
- GND, REM, BATT+: Power and remote turn-on terminals (as described in Section 5.2).
- POWER/PROTECT LED:
- Green (POWER): Indicates the subwoofer is powered on and operating normally.
- Red (PROTECT): көрсөтөт amplifier is in protection mode due to overheating, short circuit, or low voltage. Turn off the system and troubleshoot.
- AUTO TURN ON (ON/OFF): This switch enables or disables the automatic turn-on feature. When set to "ON" and using high-level inputs, the subwoofer will detect an audio signal and turn on automatically, eliminating the need for a remote turn-on wire. If using a remote turn-on wire, set this to "OFF".
- ФАЗА (0°/180°): Adjusts the phase of the subwoofer output. If the bass sounds weak or out of sync with your main speakers, try switching the phase. One setting will typically sound better than the other.
- LPF (Low Pass Filter) (50Hz-200Hz): This knob controls the upper frequency limit of the subwoofer. Set it to allow only low frequencies to pass through to the subwoofer. A common starting point is around 80-100Hz, but adjust to blend smoothly with your main speakers.
- BASS EQ (0-+12dB): This control boosts the bass output at a specific frequency. Use sparingly to avoid distortion.
- GAIN (MIN/MAX): This control matches the output level of your head unit to the input sensitivity of the subwoofer's amplifier. Start with the gain at minimum, then slowly increase it until the bass output is balanced with your main speakers without distortion. Do not use the gain control as a volume knob.
- ЖОГОРКУ КИРИШҮҮ: Connector for the high-level input harness.
- ТӨМӨН КИРИШҮҮ: RCA jacks for low-level input.
- REMOTE LEVEL: Port for connecting the wired remote bass knob.
6.2. Remote Bass Knob

The remote bass knob provides convenient control over the subwoofer's output level from your driving position. This allows for quick adjustments to the bass intensity without needing to access the subwoofer's control panel.
7. Техникалык тейлөө
- Тазалоо: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the enclosure. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Текшерүүлөр: Мезгил-мезгили менен бардык зымдарды байланыштарды текшерип туруңуз, алар бекем жана коррозиядан таза.
- Вентиляция: камсыз кылуу amplifier section of the subwoofer remains unobstructed to allow for proper heat dissipation.
- Сактагычты алмаштыруу: If the fuse blows, replace it only with a fuse of the exact same type and rating (e.g., 40A). Using a fuse with a higher rating can cause serious damage or fire.
