Adding a sub to a factory system:
This feature offers the ability to add a subwoofer to a factory system. (refer to page 3)
Adding a full-range amp & sub to a factory system:
This feature offers the ability to add a full-range amp and sub to a factory system†. (refer to page 4)
† The factory amp must be bypassed/unplugged.
Note: The interface provides a 12-volt 1-amp output to turn on aftermarket amp(s). If installing
multiple amps, an SPDT automotive relay will be required if the amp turn-on current of all amps
combined exceeds 1-amp. Use Metra part number E-123 (sold separately) for best results.

2. Install the AX-DSPX-TY1 vehicle T-harness to the vehicle and make all necessary
connections, but leave the amp turn-on wire disconnected.
3. Plug the AX-DSPX-TY1 vehicle T-harness to the AX-DSPX-TY1 interface.
4. Plug the AX-DSPX-TY1 interface harness to the AX-DSPX-TY1 interface.
5. Download and install the AXDSP-X app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
6. Open the app then select the Bluetooth Connection tab. Follow the instructions to
pair the mobile device to the interface. Refer to page 6 for more information.

Crossover Adjust
• If installing a subwoofer, the front and rear outputs will default to a 100Hz high pass filter to keep the low frequency signals out. If
a subwoofer is not being installed, change the front and rear crossover points down to 20Hz for a full range signal, or to the lowest
frequency the speakers will play down to.
• Selecting High Pass and Low Pass will provide one crossover frequency adjustment. Selecting Band Pass will provide two crossover
frequency adjustments, one for low pass, and one for high pass.
