IMPORTANT: Before installation your power amplifier, we recommend to read the
owner´s manual carefully and to follow the instructions regarding connection and
fitting exactly.
ATTENTION: Pay attention to advices and instructions of the car manufacturer.
Important: Your proof of purchase is evidence of warranty claim for repair or
replacement. Keep your proof of purchase, manual and original packaging.
ATTENTION: Use of sound components can impair your ability to hear necessary
traffic sounds and may constitute a hazard while driving your automobile.
Audio SystemGermany accepts no liability for hearing loss, bodily injury or
property damage as a result of use or misuse of our products.
We recommend installing the equipment by an authorized service center or dealer. A
professional fitting and connection is the requirement for further warranty and perfect
sound.

3. +12 V Power connection
Connect the +12 V contact of the amplifier with the supply cable via a fuse directly to the
vehicle battery. Keep in mind, that the length of the cable from fuseholder to vehicle battery
has to be a maximum of 30 cm.
Requirement for a perfect function of the amplifier is a qualitative high end fuse holder as well
as a suitable cable cross section (AWG sice 8 - 6). This fuse protects the amplifier and the
vehicle against the possibility of a short circuit in the power cable.
4. Remote connection
Connect the REM-terminal of the amplifier to the remote-output (automatic 12 V antenna-
output) of the head unit. Therefore use a 0,5 - 1,5 mm power cable.
a) Take care of a professional attachement. Pay attention, that no electrical cable, gas
tank, hydraulic breakes or other components get damaged.
b) There has to be enough cooling and air circulation. Avoid the installation in small
closed boxes or close to heatening parts.
c) Protect the amplifier from fluids, wetness, heat and foreign material as well as from
other influences.
d) The amplifier is only to be built into vehicles with a 12 V DC power supply.
e) Never install the power supply cable with other original wires of the vehicle
(gas cables), fan motors, brand control moduls etc.
f) Install the signal cable (cinch cable) as well as the speaker cable far away of the
power cables to avoid troubles with the music signal.
g) The cables of your amplifier have to be installed, so that there is no danger of binding,
squeezing or breaking.

GROUND
ATTENTION:
1. Battery disconnection
First disconnect the power supply of the
vehicle. This works out the best by
removing the ground cable of the battery.
2. Ground connection
Connect the GND (ground) connection of
the amplifier with the car chassis. Keep
this cable as short as possible (not longer
than 50 cm) and use a suitable cross
section (AWG sice 8 - 6).
Make sure, that the connection with the
vehicle chassis is free of paint, dirt and
dust.

ATTENTION

X-120.2 D
The X Series amplifier offers RCA-Inputs, which are connected through cinch cables with
the preamplifier-outputs of the head unit. If the head unit (OEM-RADIO) has no RCA-Output,
than it is possible to connect the speaker output direct to RCA/Cinch-Input. Important: the
Gain-Controller has to be adjusted to minimum, then carfully turn up the volume. Input Mode
has to be switched on „HI“. If signal is presented, the amplifier automacally turns on.
Adaptercable HLAC and RCA HI can be purchased at your specialized dealer. The RCA-
outputs provide the possibility to transfer the signal of the head unit to a 2. amplifier via a cinch
cable (not possible for x-80. 4 D).
With the aid of the shiftable high- and low pass filter, the gain-controller and the bassboost you
are able to adjust the amplifier on to your prefered taste of hearing, the circumstances of the
vehicle and to the speakers.
In this regard, AUDIO SYSTEM germany recommends to adjust your amplifier
through a specialized service center, dealer or a specialist.

This power amplifier is featured with a efficient protection system to prevent any damages
like over-heating, overvoltage, short-circuit and DC at the loudspeaker output.
Occuring an error the protection-LED will light in red.
In order to check the problem, first turn down all levels of the head unit, afterwards turn it
off.
