A34XP & A46XP Installation

Before You Begin

To install the amplifiers, you will need tools, supplies and adapters. It is best to make sure you have everything you need before you start. Routing Wires Circuito de Ubicacin de los Cables Cablage
Supplies and Tools Needed
Supplies Black electrical tape Amplifier Installation Kit Cordless drill with assortment of bits Flat-head and Phillips screwdrivers Wire cutters/strippers Crimping tool 12-volt test light or digital multimeter Wire brush, sandpaper or scraping tool (ground connection to vehicle should be a clean, unpainted metal surface)

Disconnect Battery

Before you begin, always disconnect the battery negative terminal.

Location and Mounting

The AXP amplifiers compact design allows greater flexibility in mounting. It can be mounted under a seat or in the trunk. When selecting a location, remember that amplifiers generate heat. Select a location where air can circulate around the amplifier. Do not cover the amplifier with carpets or enclose it behind interior trim panels. Do not mount the amplifier in an inverted or upside down configuration. Every installation will be a bit different based upon vehicle design. Check all locations and placements carefully before making cuts or connections. Note: It is very important to allow air circulation around the amplifier.

Routing Wires

Proper wiring connections are illustrated in the Routing Wires diagram. Note: If wiring connections are made incorrectly, the unit will not operate properly and could become permanently damaged. Follow the installation instructions carefully, or have the installation completed by an experienced technician.

Wiring

Power Terminal (+12V)
Connect directly to the vehicle battery positive (+) terminal with a minimum of 10-gauge wire. Remote Terminal (REM)
Connect the power antenna or amplifier turn-on lead from the receiver to the amplifier remote terminal. Ground Terminal (GND)
Connect to a good chassis ground. The ground connection should be to clean, unpainted metal to provide a good electrical connection. Ground wire should be kept as short as possible.

Input Wiring

Low Level Input (RCA Input) Low level (RCA) input is preferred for best performance. Most trunk/hatchback installations will require a 15-20 foot RCA cable, while pickup trucks and under-seat mounting will require a 6-12 foot RCA cable. Connect an RCA cable from your receiver to the RCA input on your amplifier. High Level Input High level input should be used when an RCA output is not available from the receiver. Connect the speaker outputs from the receiver to the high level input connector. Note: Only connect the low (RCA) or high level input, not both at the same time.

Connecting Other Amps

The output signal allows you to conveniently connect other amplifiers to each other.

Speaker Wiring

The Speaker Wiring diagrams illustrate the following four options for connecting speakers and subwoofers to the AXP amps: 2 Speakers 2 Subwoofers Bridged Subwoofer Tri-Mode Note: When running a subwoofer and two full-range speakers together (tri-mode operation), high and low pass filters must be used. Failure to install these filters may cause damage to the amplifier and/or the speakers. 2 Speakers 2 Autoparlantes 2 Haut-Parleurs 2 Subwoofers 2 Autoparlantes de Sonido Graves 2 Subwoofers Frequency Hz.

Note: Lors de lfutilisation simultanee dfun hautparleur tres basses frequences et deux hautparleurs ordinaires (appele fonctionnement trimodal ou a trois voies), vous devez utiliser des filtres separateurs passe-bas et passe-haut. Sans ces filtres separateurs, vous risquez dfendommager votre amplificateur ou vos haut-parleurs.
Nota: Cuando use juntos un contrabajo y dos altoparlantes de gama completa (operacion trimodal), se deben usar filtros de alto y bajo paso. Si no instala estos filtros puede causar dano a su amplificador o a sus altoparlantes.
A34XP & A46XP Indicators and Controls

Control Panel Access

1. 2. 3. Turn thumbscrew counterclockwise to remove. Gently push down on the thumbscrew to lift the front edge of the control door. Lift and remove the control door.
Indicators and Controls Indicadores y Controles Indicateurs et Contrles
Note: An optional Allen-head screw (with wrench) is included and can be used in place of the thumbscrew.

Crossover

Adjust the crossover to accommodate your chosen installation method: LPF (low pass filter) - Select this filter when the amplifier will be driving woofers or subwoofers. FULL - Crossover mode is not active; amplifier is in full range mode. HPF (high pass filter) - Select this filter when the amplifier will be driving full range/separate speakers, and you want to limit the bass going to these speakers.
Tri-Mode/Three-Channel Operation
An amplifier is usually configured for tri-mode operation when you want to use one amplifier to drive a pair of front speakers and subwoofer(s). In other words, use it when you want to drive a complete system with one amp. Your Jensen amplifier is capable of tri-mode operation. Important: Tri-mode operation requires using passive crossovers. These crossovers are available at your local retailer or install shop. Failure to install these filters may damage your amplifier and/or your speakers.
