What should I do before beginning any installation?
Before beginning any installation, carefully read and understand the instructions, disconnect the negative lead from the battery, run all wires prior to mounting the unit, route RCA cables away from high current wires, and use high quality connectors.
What should I avoid when routing wires?
Avoid cutting or drilling into gas tanks, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines, or electrical wiring. Never run wires underneath the vehicle, avoid running wires over or through sharp edges, and always protect the battery and electrical system with proper fusing.
How should the grounding connection be made?
When grounding to the chassis of the vehicle, scrape all paint from the metal to ensure a good, clean ground connection. Grounding connections should be as short as possible and always be connected to metal that is welded to the main body, or chassis, of the vehicle.
Where should I NOT mount the amplifier?
Never mount the unit in the engine compartment, as this will void your warranty.
Where can I mount the amplifier in the passenger compartment?
Mounting the amplifier in the passenger compartment will work as long as you provide a sufficient amount of air for the amplifier to cool itself. If mounting under a seat, you must have at least 1" (2.54cm) of air gap around the amplifier’s heatsink.
What is recommended to maximize the performance of my amplifier?
It’s suggested to use a heavy-duty battery and an energy storage capacitor.
What precautions should I take when wiring the system?
Avoid running power wires near low-level input cables, antenna, power leads, sensitive equipment, or harnesses.
How should I prepare the power cable for attachment to the amplifier?
Strip 1/2" of insulation from the end of the wire and insert the bared wire into the B+ terminal, tightening the set screw to secure it. The B+ cable MUST be fused 18" or less from the battery.
How should I connect the power cable to the battery?
Trim the power cable within 18" of the battery and strip 1/2" of insulation from the end of the wire. Crimp a large ring terminal to the cable and use it to connect to the battery’s positive terminal. Do not install the fuse at this time.
How should I prepare the grounding cable for attachment to the amplifier?
Strip 1/2" of insulation from the end of the wire, insert the bared wire into the GND terminal and tighten the set screw. For the chassis ground, scrape paint from the metal surface and clean the area. Attach a ring connector to the other end and fasten it to the chassis using a non-anodized screw and a star washer.
How should I prepare the REM turn-on wire for connection to the amplifier?
Strip 1/2" of insulation from the wire end, insert the bared wire into the REM terminal, and tighten the set screw. Connect the other end to a switched 12-volt positive source. If the source unit does not have this output, wire a mechanical switch in line with a 12-volt source.
How should I mount the amplifier?
Securely mount the amplifier to the vehicle or amp rack, being careful not to mount it on cardboard or plastic panels.
How do I connect the source signal and speakers to the amplifier?
Connect the source signal to the amplifier by plugging the RCA cables/high-level inputs into the input jacks. Connect the speakers, stripping the speaker wires 1/2" and inserting them into the speaker terminal, and tightening the set screw. Be sure to maintain proper speaker polarity. Do not chassis ground any of the speaker leads.
What final checks should I perform on the completed system wiring?
Perform a final check of the completed system wiring to ensure all connections are accurate. Check all power and ground connections for frayed wires and loose connections.
How do I adjust the level setting?
Turn the amplifier levels all the way down. Turn the source unit volume up until distortion is audible, then turn it down until the distortion is inaudible. Turn the amplifier level setting up until distortion is audible, then back it down until the distortion is inaudible.
How do I adjust the crossover on the EC 1200.1D model?
Turn the crossover adjustment knob all the way down. With the system playing at normal listening level, turn the crossover adjustment knob up slowly until the desired crossover point is achieved.
How do I adjust the crossover on all other models?
For high pass mode (HPF), set the switch to HPF, allowing frequencies above the cut-off point to pass, adjustable between 50-500Hz or 500 Hz – 5KHz. For all pass mode, set the switch to Flat. For low pass mode (LPF), set the switch to LPF, allowing frequencies below the cut-off point to pass, adjustable between 50-500Hz or 500 Hz – 5KHz. Turn the crossover adjustment knob all the way down, and while the system is playing, turn the crossover adjustment knob up slowly until the desired crossover point is achieved.
What is the Subsonic Filter on the EC 1200.1D used for?
It’s a variable 15-40Hz high pass filter designed to prevent frequencies below the audio range from being applied to the subwoofer.
How do I install the Remote Level Control on the EC 1200.1D?
Find a location that gives easy access to the remote, install the mounting clip with the tabs towards the back, route the cable for the remote and connect it to both the remote and amplifier, then slip the remote onto the mounting clip.
What should I be aware of when strapping two EC 1200.1D amplifiers?
Two EC 1200.1 D amplifiers that are strapped together are not recommended for impedance loads below 2.
How do I strap two EC 1200.1D amplifiers?
Select the master amplifier and set the Master/Slave switch to “out”. Connect RCA cables from the source signal to the input connection on the master amplifier. Set the Master / Slave switch on the slave amplifier to the “in” position. Connect an RCA cable from the MAS OUT connector on the master amplifier to the SLV IN connector on the slave amplifier. Connect one of the negative (-) speaker outputs from the master amplifier to one of the negative (-) speaker outputs on the slave amplifier using a 10 gauge wire (minimum). Connect one of the positive (+) speaker outputs from the master amplifier to the positive (+) terminal of the speaker being used. Connect one of the positive (+) speaker outputs from the slave amplifier to the negative (-) terminal of the speaker being used.
How are the speaker outputs wired on a mono amplifier?
Mono amplifier speaker outputs (A & B) are wired in parallel internally.
What are some potential troubleshooting steps I can take?
If the amplifier does not turn on, check the B+ or REM voltage between 10.5 and 15.5 volts, or check if there is no voltage present. Repair the alternator, battery, fuse, and wiring as necessary. If the amplifier has noise, check if it is properly grounded, and repair the wiring as necessary. If there is a turn-on pop, connect a relay turn-on module to the REM terminal. If there is engine noise, re-route signal cables away from sources of high interference.
