User manual DUAL XIA3145

[. . . ] Suggested locations include under a seat or in the trunk. · The amplifier can be mounted horizontal (recommended) or vertical. For optimum performance, make sure to provide at least 1" of space to around all sides. Do not mount the amplifier under carpets or where airflow is restricted.

A suitable fuse MUST be installed on the +12V lead within 18" of the battery for protection of the vehicle's electrical system. Fuse Rating When replacing fuses, make sure new fuse is the correct type and amperage. Using an incorrect fuse could damage the amplifier. Main fuse 20 amp ATO x 2 illuminite fuse 2 amp ATO x 1 Power/Ground Wire Size For optimum performance, use only the wire size listed below or larger. Make sure to use the same size power and ground wire. Power/ground 8 gauge illuminite output 18 gauge 5 XIA3145 INSTALLATION Output Connections The lighting elements of DUAL illuminite speakers provide you with a unique custom touch to your vehicle. Dual's patent pending illuminite LED system and control circuitry provides an extraordinary blue-hue illumination which allows great creative opportunities for the beginner and seasoned custom installer alike. DUAL XIA-series amplifiers provide a dedicated switched 12VDC output including independent fused protection (2 amp) specifically for use with illuminite speakers. DUAL illuminite speakers have two distinct sets of input terminals. The first is labeled audio input terminals and the second is labeled illuminite lighting inputs. The inputs are clearly marked with a label positioned directly above the terminal housing. The polarity (+ and -) indicators for each set of inputs also appear on these labels. Do not connect the amplifier speaker outputs or any audio source to the illuminite lighting inputs. Refer to the figures below for making the connections. Make sure to observe polarity as the illuminite circuitry will not operate when connected reverse polarity. Connect either red wire from the XIA amplifier illuminite outputs to the positive (+) illuminite input terminal and connect either black wire from the XIA amplifier illuminite outputs to the negative (-) illuminite input. Additional illuminite wiring notes: Several illuminite speakers can be connected to the 12VDC illuminite output at one time. Refer to the table below for the individual illuminite speaker current requirements. If you are unsure, consult a qualified professional or call DUAL technical assistance at 1-866-382-5476 for further information. illuminite current requirements (per speaker) XiNC112 - 55mA XiNC110 - 55mA XiNBP210 - 180mA XiNBP212 - 180mA OUTPUT CONNECTOR (Plugs into amplifier) 6 XIA3145 INSTALLATION Amplifier Connections Speaker Connections Connect speaker wires observing polarity. The minimum impedance load is 2 ohms stereo and 4 ohms bridged. Use of loads lower than these is not recommended and may cause amplifier damage. The XIA3145 can be wired for stereo, bridged or stereo/bridged simultaneous operation.
