OWNER'S MANUAL
UNIVERSAL CAR AMPLIFIER
Features
2/1 channels, suitable for bridged connection • 2/4 Ohm load capacity • 3 sound switch modes to drive bass,
middle + treble and wide-range speakers • adjustable cut-off frequency • efficient bass booster • low and
high-level inputs • output to other amplifiers • remote volume control • color VFD display with 3 functions •
all contact points are silver-coated • high-current speaker and power connectors • PWM MOSFET adaptor •
stable, cast metal cover
The VPRO 9000 and VPRO 5000 dual-channel universal car amplifiers are suitable to drive bass speakers, middle+treble
speakers and wide-range speakers. Either amplifier can be used as a dual or single-channel amplifier. In a bridged connection,
its high output power makes the amplifier ideal to operate sub boxes and sub tubes. It has an adjustable sound switch,
enabling you to set the frequency transmission that best suits your system. To enhance bass sounds, it includes an adjustable
BASS BOOST circuit.
Electronic sound switch
The multiple configuration active sound switch makes the amplifier a universal solution in various scenarios. In wide-range
mode the amplifier can drive traditional car speakers, but it is also suitable to drive only bass or middle + treble speakers.
In low-pass and high-pass mode, the sound switch's cut-off frequency can be adjusted separately between 50–250 Hz
and 15–500 Hz. I.e., in sub-bass (LPF, low-pass filter) mode the frequency range can be adjusted between 10–50 Hz and
10–250 Hz, and in HPF (high-pass filter) mode between 15–15,000 Hz and 500–15,000 Hz. In wide-range (FLAT) mode the
transmitted frequency range is 10–50,000 Hz.
The switches and controls affect both channels in the same way.

Connecting the speakers
Make sure you connect the speakers with the correct polarity. In stereo mode, use speakers with at least 2 Ohm impedance;
in a high-power bridged connection, use a speaker with at least 4 Ohm impedance. This load impedance can be realized by
connecting several speakers, but their resultant impedance must reach the specified value. The unit has connectors for large
diameter (max. 25 mm2) cables. In accordance, make sure to use high-power speaker cords.

BRIDGED + / - : bridged connection (mono)
Connecting the input signal
Use two stereo cables with RCA plugs to connect the LOW INPUT sockets to the sound source (car radio, head unit,
processor etc.). Lead the cable away from power and other speaker cords. If your car radio only has a speaker output
(no low-level line out), you can connect the high-level input labeled HIGH INPUT using the included cable. If your sound
source has both options, it is recommended to use the low-level (RCA) output. You must never connect a signal to both
inputs.
Connecting the power supply
The device needs power over three connectors. The length of the +12 V wire between the battery and the external fuse
socket (not included) should not exceed 50 cm. Locate the fuse socket as close to the battery as possible. The ground wire
should also be as short as possible. Connect the negative pole first. It is very important that this connection have a perfect
ground contact. An imperfect connection can cause noise and malfunction. The power cables should have a diameter of at
least 16 mm2 (max. 2 x 50 mm2). REMOTE cable: min. 0,75 mm2)

POWER
GROUND: ground (-) +REMOTE: remote control* POWER: +12 Volt
* If your car radio does not have a 12 Volt output for this purpose, connect this point to the +12V power voltage. In this case,
it is recommended to either install a switch before the remote control input, or to connect the control voltage to a point that
is powered off when the ignition key is removed. Otherwise the amplifier will be permanently on, putting a drain on the battery.
Installation and troubleshooting
Before powering up the amplifier verify that it is connected correctly. Connections should be stable and without short circuits,
and the switches and controls should be in the correct position.
The POWER light indicates that the amplifier is on, and the PROTECT light shows that the protective circuits are active. The
latter indicates that the amplifier is malfunctioning, overloaded, or incorrectly connected. In that case, disconnect the amplifier
from the power immediately.
If the POWER LED is not lit up at all, disconnect the amplifier, disconnect the speakers and the car radio, and power up
the amplifier again. If the light is still off, use a voltage meter to make sure that the amplifier does in fact receive the 12 V
power, and that the ground connection is stable. If the car radio has a separate remote control output and you connected it
(REMOTE), also verify the presence of the control signal.
Connecting the power, the car radio and the speakers again one by one you can identify the faulty unit or cable. If needed, also
verify that the fuse(s) are in good condition.
If the system emits noises, turn the volume down, and first unplug the RCA connectors. If you still hear the noise, make sure
the amplifier is correctly grounded.
If the noise stops, that means the source is outside the amplifier. Possible causes include: a ground loop, a contact fault in
the head unit's ground, at the audio processor, at the sound switch, or at another device in the audio frequency chain. A faulty
circuit breaker, old battery, damaged ignition cables or faulty contacts can all be sources of audible noise.
Adjusting the input signal level
Set the GAIN control to MIN. Turn on the car radio and set its volume control to approximately 3/4. Slowly start turning the
GAIN button clockwise until you start to hear distortion at the acoustic peaks. Then turn it counter-clockwise a little. This will
be the system's maximum volume which is emitted in good quality without distortion. The correct GAIN setting depends on the
signal level of the car radio's output, and may vary from type to type.
By further increasing the GAIN level the system's output power does not increase any further; instead, the maximum usable
volume on the car radio becomes lower because the system's distortion grows. A distorted signal can damage the speakers.
Remote controlled bass volume
In LPF mode you can also adjust the input signal level using the control that comes with a 4.5 m cable. Mount the
external unit under the dashboard in a position that does not hinder you during driving. Connect the cable to the
amplifier's REMOTE socket.
This scheme makes it possible to comfortably adjust the volume from the driver's seat when the strength of bass
sounds changes between songs or albums, allowing you to enjoy a perfect bass sound at all times.
Connecting further amplifiers
The OUTPUT RCA sockets of the amplifier emit the original input signal that is connected to the LOW INPUT sockets next to
them. This allows you to connect one or more additional amplifiers.
Warnings
• Installing a car hi-fi system requires important professional skills and experience, which are not covered in this manual.
If needed, consult a technician to avoid damaging your system or the vehicle. Proper installation is essential for the
system's reliable operation.
• The warranty is not applicable to damage caused by improper installation or connection.
• Never cover the device and only install it in a location with proper ventilation.
• Protect from sunlight, humidity and water.
• The speaker's poles must have no connection to each other or the car's body (negative pole).
• Especially when the temperature in the amplifier's environment is extremely high or low (e.g., when the car is parked in
direct sunlight in the summer, or at freezing temperatures in the winter) the automatic protective circuit may become
active and turn off the amplifier. In that case, leave the amplifier turned off until normal environment temperature is
restored.
• Do not use the amplifier for a long time when the engine is not running, as that may drain the battery.
• Always listen to your sound system at a volume that does not disturb your participation in traffic and does not damage
your hearing. Many car hi-fi systems are capable of emitting sound pressure over 130 dB. However, levels above 100 dB
can damage your hearing permanently.
• When replacing the fuse, always use an identical type.
• This device can only be used with a 12 Volt power source where the negative pole is grounded.
• Clean with a soft, dry cloth.

Elektronische Frequenzweiche
Die Grundlage der universellen Verwendbarkeit des Gerätes ist die umschaltbare aktive Frequenzweiche. Durch Hilfe deren
ist der Verstärker fähig in Betriebsart Breitband herkömmliche Autolautsprecher anzutreiben, aber auch ausschließlich
Tief- oder Tiefmittel- + Hochstrahler. Der Schnittpunkt der Frequenzweiche kann in Hoch- und Tiefpaß-Betriebsart getrennt
zwischen 50 – 250 Hz, bzw., zwischen 15 -500 Hz geregelt werden. Das Heißt, der Frequenzgang kann in Betriebsart Sub-
Bass (LPF) zwischen 10 – 50 Hz und 10 – 250 Hz verstellt werden, in HPF-Stellung gestaltet sich zwischen 15 – 50.000 Hz
beziehungsweise zwischen 500 – 50.000 Hz. Beim Breitband-Betrieb (FLAT) wird der Frequenzgang zwischen 10 – 50.000
Hz liegen.
Die Schalter und Regler beeinflussen den Betrieb beider Kanäle gleichermaßen.

Anschluss des Eingangssignals
Mit der Überschrift LOW INPUT versehene Cinch-Buchse und die Tonquelle (Autoradio, 'Head Unit', Soundprozessor …)
wird mit einem Stereokabel versehen mit Cinch-Stecker verbunden. Halten sie diese Leitung fern von den Strom- und
Lautsprecherkabeln. Wenn das Autoradio ausschließlich mit Lautsprecheranschlüsse versehen ist, d.h. besitzt es keine
Niedrigpegel-Ausgang, dann kann der HIGH INPUT Hochpegel-Eingang mittels des beigelegten Anschlusskabel verwendet
werden. Wenn es bei der Signalquelle beide Möglichkeiten gegeben sind, empfiehlt sich den Niedrigpegel-Ausgang
(Cinch) zu benutzen. Es ist verboten beide Eingänge des Verstärkers gleichzeitig anzuschließen!
Anschluss der Stromquelle
Das Gerät soll die Spannung zum Betrieb durch drei Klemmen bekommen. Die Leitungsstrecke (+ 12 V) zwischen der
Batterie und der äußeren Sicherungsfassung (nicht im Lieferumfang) darf nicht länger als 50 cm sein. Auch die Erdleitung soll
möglichst kurz gehalten werden.
Schließen sie erst den negativen Pol an. Es ist äußerst wichtig, dass dieser Anschluss besonders guten Masse-Kontakt habe.
Ein Fehler dessen kann zu Geräusch, Verzerrung, fehlerhafte Funktion führen. Die Stromkabel sollen mindestens einen
Querschnitt von 16 mm2 (max. 2 x 50 mm2), die REMOTE-Leitung mindestens 0,75 mm2 haben.
