INSTALLATION
This section suggests Mounting and Wiring Precautions for installing the Clarion XC141
0.
If
you do not posses the necessary tools and installation experience, do not attempt to install
these amplifiers. Instead, contact your local Clarion Audio dealer to perform the installation.
MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS
Prior to mounting the amplifier, make sure it is safe to mount the amplifier
in
desired
location. Failure to do so can result
in
serious damage to the vehicle.
Additional precautions and suggestions:
1.
For the most efficient cooling, mount the amplifier so cool air runs along the
length of the heat sink, rather than across them. To increase air movement and
circulation, a cooling fan can be installed.
2.
Mount the amplifier on a rigid surface; avoid mounting to subwoofer enclosures or
areas prone to vibration.
3.
Prior to drilling and mounting, make sure the proposed mounting holes will not cut
into the fuel tank, fuel lines, brake lines, electrical wiring, or the body of vehicle or
boat.
WIRING PRECAUTIONS
Read all of the wiring precautions prior to making any connections.
If
you are unsure
and/or don't have the necessary installation hardware, contact your local Clarion
audio dealer to perform the installation.
1.
Before you begin the installation, make sure the vehicle is not running and
is
in
the OFF position.
2.
Disconnect the negative
(-)
lead of the battery (or batteries) before making any
power connections.
3.
When making connections, be sure that each connection is clean and secure.
Insulate final connections with electrical tape or heat shrink tubing. Failure to do
so may damage your equipment.
4.
A good ground
is
critical for the performance of the amplifier. A ground wire
should be
run
directly from the battery to the amplifier (marine application). Use
black insulated 10-gauge or larger wire for the amplifier's ground (-) power lead.
5.
Add a fuse holder and fuse at the positive (+)terminal of the battery.
The fuse rating should equal the total current consumption at full output of the
amplifier(s). Use red insulated 10-gauge or larger wire for the amplifier's positive
(+) power lead. Do not install the fuse until the complete installation has been
performed.
6.
When replacing the amplifier's fuse, always use one having the same amperage
rating. Substituting a higher rated fuse or a slow-blow type can result
in
serious
damage to the amplifier.
7.
When creating passage holes for power cables, RCA's cables, and speaker wires,
use grommets to eliminate any sharp edges created during drilling. This will
protect the wire from being damaged and prevent a short circuit.
8.
Extra cable can cause signal loss and act as
an
"antenna" for noise. Use only
high-quality RCA cables that are no longer than necessary.
9.
In
multiple amplifier systems, it is recommended to use a relay on the remote
turn-on lead of the radio.

WIRING AND APPLICATIONS
The Clarion XC141 0 4-channel audio amplifier can be used
in
a variety of system
applications. Here are a few examples to help plan your own installation.
Option 1
4-Channel Full Range Stereo System using aftermarket headunit with (low
level) RCA's
G:>CDCDCDCDCD
In
this application, the XC141 0 is used as a 4-channel amplifier to drive four full range speakers
in
stereo. This configuration
is
for headunits with RCA outputs.

Chassi Ground (Black)
Blue/White
In this application, the XC141 0 is used as a 4-channel amplifier to drive four full range speakers
in stereo. This configuration is for headunits with High Level Speaker Outputs. Please note: this
configuration is also for Factory OEM headunits.
SETTING THE GAIN
The Clarion XC141 0 features a selectable Input Gain Control (High, Low).
Using the Gain Control Switch, select the desired mode:
LOW = when using RCA inputs
HIGH = when using HIGH LEVEL SPEAKER inputs
SETTING THE CROSSOVER
The Clarion XC141 0 features a selectable crossover (60Hz, 90Hz, Flat).
Using the Crossover Mode Switch, select the desired mode:
60Hz High Pass
90Hz High Pass
Flat= Crossover OFF for FULL RANGE
FINAL SYSTEM CHECK
1. Power on the source unit. Slowly increase the Volume Control and listen to
the audio.
2. Check "Source" Balance (Left and Right) and Fader (Front and Rear) to ensure
proper installation.
3. Increase the volume and verify that the amplifier reproduces audio (at full
frequencies) without distortion. If you hear distortion, check the connections and
verify that the Input Gain Control
is set properly.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
No Audio. Amplifier not powering on. (LED turned off)
Solution
1. Remote turn-on voltage. Check remote connections at amplifier and source unit.
2. Blown amplifier fuse. Replace with
new fuse (same rating).
3. Power wires not connected. Check power and ground wiring at amplifier and
at battery.
4. Speaker leads shorted. Check speaker continuity
to ground, it should not show
common ground.
5. Speakers not connected or are blown. Check speaker connections at amplifier,
measure coil impedance.
Problem
Distorted audio.
Solution
Input Gain is not set properly, or damaged speaker cones. Review Setting Gain;
inspect each speaker. (i.e. check connection, speaker impedance, etc.)
Problem
Audio lacks punch.
Solution
Speakers wired incorrectly, which causes cancellation of bass frequencies.
Check polarity of wires from amplifier
to each speaker as defined by the system design.
Problem
Amplifier fuse keeps blowing.
Solution
Incorrect wiring or short circuit. Review installation and check all wiring connections.
