1. Power Connections: Use the convenient Power Plug to wire up the Power, Ground and Re-
mote 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, con-
stant 12V DC positive source.
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-5XO.
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 video player, DVD, etc.
3. Sub Output Jacks: Next to the inputs are the sub out RCA jacks which should be connected to a dedi-
cated 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-5XO. Make sure all the
RCA cables are run on the opposite side of the vehicle from where you ran the power cables to the amplifiers.
Attach the RCA cables from the amplifiers to the corresponding Input/Output jacks on the rear panel of the
EQ; the Sub-woofer Output to the sub-woofer 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.
