REAR PANEL HOOK UP
1. Power Connections: Use the convenient Power Plug to wire up the Power, Ground and Remote Turn-
on as follows
+12 VDC: Insert an 18 gauge or larger wire into the plug for the 12 volt (+)
position. The other end should be connected to a good, fused, constant 12V DC
positive source (a wired in-line fuse holder complete with appropriate fuse has
been included).
GND: Use the same gauge wire as you did for the positive connection and run it
from the “Ground” connector to a good ground (-) location.
REM: Connect a 22 to 18 gauge wire from the Radio’s (head unit) remote turn-
on lead.
Once you have completed wiring the Power Plug, gently push it into the socket on
the rear panel of the PowerBass XEQ-9XO.
2. Input Jacks: The EQ has two sets of RCA style input jacks, RADIO and AUX. The radio inputs should
get their signals from the main source unit/head unit. The auxiliary inputs should get their inputs from
a secondary source such as a cd player, video player, DVD, etc.
3. Sub Output Jacks: Next to the inputs are the sub out RCA jacks which should be connected to a
dedicated subwoofer or bass amplifier, if applicable.
4. Output Jacks: This final set of RCA outputs are the jacks which should be connected to the front and
rear amplifiers, if applicable.
RCA INTERCONNECTS
Run all of the RCA cables from the amplifiers to the location of the PowerBass XEQ-9XO. Make sure all the
RCA cables are run on the opposite side of the vehicle from where you ran the power cables to the ampli-
fiers. Attach the RCA cables from the amplifiers to the corresponding Output jacks on the rear panel of the
EQ; the Subwoofer Output to the subwoofer amplifier, the Rear Output to the rear amplifier, and the Front
Output to the front amplifier.
Next attach the RCA cable from the output of the source to the Radio Input on the rear of the equalizer.
NOTE: Always take care not to cross power wires with the RCA cables.
