SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THIS "WARNING" SIGN ALERTS THE USER OF IMPORTANT INFO. NOT FOLLOWING
THIS INSTRUCTIONS MAY CAUSE INJURIES TO THE USER OR DAMAGE TO THE
EQUIPMENT.
Warning!
To prevent injuries to the user or damage to the amplifier, read all safety
instructions written on this manual;
If you are insecure about the installation of this equipment, get in touch with
our tech support or with a professional specialized in car audio installation;
Before proceeding with the installation of any electric equipment on your
vehicle, unplug the negative (-) terminal of the battery to avoid fires, injuries or
damages;
Use your sound system safely. The continuous exposure to sound pressures
over 85dB may cause irreversible hearing damage;
This equipment is for use in automotive DC voltage batteries between 12.6
and 14.4 volts. Before installing the equipment, check voltage of the batteries;
Do not install the amplifier in places exposed to water, dirt or humidity;
Choose a ventilated place to install the amplifier and avoid blocking the side
ventilation windows;
Mount the amplifier in a secure way. Avoid mounting it on metallic parts of the
vehicle, because it may cause ground looping (noise);
Make sure that the location chosen for the amplifier installation does not effect
the operation of the vehicle;
When passing cables through metallic walls, use rubber O-rings to avoid
cable cutting and short-circuits;
Clean the amplifier periodically with brush or dry cloth to assure the thermal
efficiency of the heatsink;
This product may reach temperatures over 60°C/140°F. Make sure it is cold
before touching it;
Be careful when making holes in the vehicle. Make sure you are not making
holes in the fuel tank, brake lines or electrical cables of the vehicle;
Make sure the cables are properly secured throughout the installation;
Wear gloves, safety glasses and and all necessary PPE during the installation
of SounDigital amplifiers.

*Efficiency measured at power supply only
SounDigital amplifiers are known for their low
consumption of battery, and this feature was
imp r ov e d o n th e E VOX2 Li n e. The new
I-POWER SUPPLY is even more modern, which
r e p l a c e s t h e o l d t o r o i d a l t r a n s f o r m e r s
by a new generation of "E-E" core transformers
delivers efficiency above 90%*, ensuring more
hours of sound without battery recharge.

DISASSEMBLING OF THE PLASTIC COVER
ASSEMBLING THE PLASTIC COVER
The plastic covers have the function of finishing and hiding the amplifier fixing
screws. To disassembling and assembling them, follow the instructions
below.
1. Carefully pull out the top of plastic cover to release the upside latches, as shown in the picture 1.
2. Slide up the plastic cover in a continuous movement to remove it.
1. To fit the plastic cover back, carefully insert the point A of the plastic cover into point B of the
amplifier, slowly sliding it down.
2. Gently press the sides of the top of the plastic cover towards the bottom of the amplifier until
you hear a clicking noise.

ØMount the amplifier in such a way you have access to the connectors;
ØInstall the power cables in the vehicle properly, starting from the battery to the fuse
holder or circuit breaker, use the cable with the appropriate size. Make all
connections, install fuse holders or circuit breakers, but without placing the fuses
or with the circuit breakers in the "OFF" position;
ØConnect the power cables in to the amplifier, observing the polarity. Connect all the
positive cables from the fuse holder or circuit breaker to the positive conector of
the amplifier and all the negative power cables from the batteries to the negative
connector of the amplifier;
ØThe ground cable must be as short as possible and must be connected to the
vehicle chassis and the battery negative;
ØInstall the signal input cables in a proper way, distant from the power cables;
ØConnect the RCA or the high level signal input cables to the head unit and
amplifiers;
ØInstall the audio output cables with the appropriate section, distant from the power
and audio input cables;
ØConnect the audio output cables to the amplifier and speakers respecting the
positive (+) and negative (-) polarities;
ØInstall the remote cable with the power cables, using 1.5mm² (15 AWG) cable or
thicker;
ØConnect the remote power cable to the amplifier's "REM" terminal at the main unit's
remote power output (when not using the high level signal inputs);
ØBefore powering the system, verify all the connections and make sure there are no
mistakes or short-circuits on the power and ground cables;
Ø;Reconnect the ground of the batteries
ØCheck if the head unit is turned off and then place the fuses in the fuse holders or
switch the circuit breakers on;
ØTurn on the main unit and the amplifier will turn on the "ON" LED indicating that it is
in operation.

ELECTRICAL DIMENSIONING AND AUDIO INPUTS
ELECTRICAL DIMENSIONING
For proper operation of your SounDigital amplifier, you need the proper
dimensioning of the electrical system and the cables used.
The table below shows the minimum section of GND cables, +12VDC cables
and speaker output cables according to the power generated by the amplifier.
11
All RCA inputs must be connected
for the channel to work properly.
All High level signal inputs must
be connected for the channel
to work properly.
RCA inputs
High level signal inputs
High level input must be used when the main unit does not have RCA outputs.
When High level inputs is used, no remote connection is required, the amplifier
recognizes the audio signal and switches on.
If your source unit is not able to turn on the amplifier through the High level input,
the remote input should be connected normally.
RCA AND HIGH LEVEL INPUTS SHOULD NOT BE USED SIMULTANEOUSLY OR
YOU MAY DAMAGE THE AMPLIFIER.

Turn the gain control all the way
Ø
down;
ØDisconnect the output cables from
the amplifier outputs;
ØTurn off all processing (bass, treble,
loudness, EQ, etc.);
ØSet the source unit volume to 3/4 of
full volume;
ØSet the source unit's fader control to
center position;
ØSet the variable "LOW" crossover in
500Hz and the "SUBSONIC" in 5Hz;
Ø Use a 60 Hz sine wave;
ØIncrease the gain control until the
"CLIP" LED starts blinking;
ØReturn the gain to the limit where
the "CLIP" LED stops blinking and
remains off;
ØOnce you have adjusted the
amplifier to its correct voltage
output, turn off the source unit and
reconnect the speaker(s).

EXTERNAL LEVEL CONTROL - SD RLC (NOT INCLUDED)
GAIN SETTING
The SD RLC is an easy-to-install external level
control accessory that allows you to tune the
level of SOUNDIGITAL amplifiers that have
remote level control.
In SD RLC, you can adjust the amplifier level
without having to lean over and adjust the gain
setting on the amplifier and can monitor the
“CLIP” LED which is also available on the
accessory.

Using Bass Boost
The Amplifier Bass Boost setting enables the user to boost the sound intensity at
low frequencies of the sound system, where boost intensity can be adjusted.
This is a semi-parametric equalizer type circuit with ''Q'' value for the fixed filter, with
an intensity boost adjustment from 0 to +12dB (16 times), and a central frequency
adjustment of the filter in 50Hz, making it versatile for several types of sound
systems.
