FLI ACTIVE Parts list manual

Thank you for purchasing this FLI active enclosure. It will provide you with a
trouble free usage providing you follow a few simple guidelines.
Mounting Guidelines
Your FLI enclosure is designed with a swift installation routine in mind. Please mount it in a dry
location on a solid surface. NEVER mount the enclosure at such an angle that the amplifier is
upside down, this will cause the amplifier to over heat and will eventually damage the entire unit.
Connections
For optimum performance use a 10 gauge FLI wiring kit. It can be purchased from the FLI
audio website with next day delivery www.fliaudio.co.uk
1. Low Level Input
For connection to any source with a low level output. Connect this to the RCA outputs on your
head unit.
2. Gain Control
Used to match the input signal of the headunit to the amplifier. See the setup section for more
details.
3. Frequency Control
This will allow you to set the frequency at which the amplifiers filter will take affect.
This is variable from 40 – 250 Hz.
40 Hz will produce only low frequencies (deep bass). 250 Hz will produce low and higher, more
punchy bass response.

4. Power On Indicator
WhentheamplifieriswiredandinstalledcorrectlytheLEDonthefrontoftheamplifierwill
illuminatetoindicatetheamplifierisoperatingcorrectly.
5. Fuse
Pleaseensurea20ampfuseisfitted.
6. Power Connections
Power Cable
●Atleastan10gaugecableshouldbeusedforboththepowerandthegroundconnectionsto
theamplifier.
●Thepowercableshouldbetakendirectlyfromthebattery.Rubbergrommetsshouldbeused
whenpassingthroughanybulkheadstopreventthecablefrombecomingchaffedorcut.
●Itisvitalthatafuse/circuitbreaker(ofatleastequalvaluetotheonefittedontheamplifier)
isplacedinlinewiththepowercableandisnofurtherthaneighteeninchesawayfromthe
battery.
●Pleaseensurethatthefuseisn’tfitteduntiltheentireinstallationprocedureiscomplete.
Ground Cable
●Thegroundcableneedstocarrythesamecurrentasthepowercable.Againatleastan10
gaugecableshouldbeused.
●Theamplifiergroundshouldbeconnecteddirectlytothechassisofthevehicle,tobare
metal.(notpaintedsurface)
●Thecablelengthshouldbekepttoanabsoluteminimum.
●Itisnotrecommendedthatyouconnectthegroundcabletothevehiclesseatbelts.
Remote Turn On
●A minimumof18gaugecableshouldbeusedforthisconnection.
●Thecableshouldberunwithexactlythesamecareandattentionasthepowercableand
takenbacktothesourceandjoinedtotheremotecableprovidedontheheadunit.
●Iftheheadunitdoesnothavearemoteturnoncablethena12vsupplyshouldbeused.This
willrequireaswitchtobefittedinlinetoenabletheamplifiertobeturnedonandoff.
NOTE:Rememberthatifthisswitchisleftonyouwillflattenthecarbattery.
RCA Cables
●A pairofRCA cablesshouldberunfromtheheadunittotheFLIamplifier.
●Pleasetakeextracarewhenrunningthesecablesfromthesourcetotheamplifier.Ensure
thattheyareplacedawayfromallitemsthatcangenerateanyinterference,wiringharnesses
etc.
●ItisrecommendedthattheRCA cablesshouldberunontheoppositesiteofthecartothe
previouslyinstalledpowercables.

Set Up Section
Gain Control Setting
Tocorrectlysetthegaincontroloftheamplifiertomatchthatofthesource(headunit)usethe
followingsetuproutine:
●Turnthegaincontroltominimumontheamplifier.
●Ontheheadunitsetallcrossoverstoflatandbothbassandtrebletozero.
●Turnupthesource(headunit)toapprox3/4volume.
●Veryslowlyturnupthegainontheamplifieruntildistortioncanbeheardinanyofthe
speakersoruntilthevolumereachesanuncomfortablelisteninglevelwhenthisisreached
turndownthegaincontrolslightly.
Thegaincontrolisnowset.
Crossover Setting
AllFLIactiveenclosurescomewithabuiltinFrequencyControl.Thiswillallowyoutosetthe
frequencyatwhichtheamplifierfilterwilltakeaffect.Itisvariablefrom40Hz-250Hz.40Hzwill
produceonlylowfrequencies,verydeepbass.Whilst250Hzwillproducelowandhigherpunchy
bassfrequencies.Inthecorrectsetupthebassshouldnotbeoverlyprominent,althoughsome
usersmaywishtohaveabiggerbasspresence.
Tosetthiscorrectlyfollowthefollowingroutine:
●Firstlysetthegaincontrolcorrectlyasdescribedabove.
●Playaknownpieceofdynamicmusicthroughtheentiresystem.
●UsetheFrequencyControltoblendthefrequenciesfromthesubwooferintotherestofthe
vehiclesothatthebasscomingfromtheenclosuredisappears'orblendsinwiththerestof
thecarspeakers.
Thecrossoverisnowset.
