5. Persediaan dan Pemasangan
Pemasangan yang betul adalah penting untuk prestasi optimum dan jangka hayat peranti anda amplifier. Follow these steps carefully.
5.1 Lokasi Pemasangan
Choose a mounting location that is dry, well-ventilated, and protected from direct sunlight or excessive heat. Ensure there is enough space around the amplifier for air circulation. The compact size of the CANDY-X2B allows for flexible placement options.
5.2 Sambungan Pendawaian
Refer to the diagrams below for proper wiring of power, ground, remote, input, and speaker outputs.
Sambungan Kuasa dan Tanah:
- GND (Tanah): Connect this terminal to a clean, unpainted metal surface of the vehicle chassis. Ensure a solid connection for optimal performance and safety.
- REM (Penghidupan Jauh): Connect this to the remote output of your head unit. This signal turns the amplifier on and off with your audio system.
- +12V (Kuasa): Connect this terminal directly to the positive terminal of your vehicle's battery. An inline fuse (not supplied, typically 25A for this model) should be installed within 18 inches of the battery.
Sambungan Output Pembesar Suara:
Connect your speakers to the LEFT and RIGHT speaker output terminals. For bridged mode operation, refer to the diagram and connect to the designated BRIDGE terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).

Sambungan Input:
The CANDY-X2B supports both Low-Level (RCA) and High-Level inputs.
- Input Aras Rendah (RCA): Sambungkan kabel RCA daripada pra-unit kepala andaamp output kepada amplifier's INPUT L and R RCA jacks.
- Input Tahap Tinggi: If your head unit does not have RCA outputs, use the supplied high-level input harness. Connect the speaker wires from your head unit to the corresponding wires on the harness, then plug the harness into the amplifier's HIGH INPUT port.

6. Arahan Operasi
Sebaik sahaja amplifier is installed, adjust the settings for optimal audio performance.
6.1 Panel Kawalan Selesaiview
The front panel of the CANDY-X2B features several controls for fine-tuning your audio output:
- DASAR ASAS: Adjusts the bass level enhancement (0dB to +12dB). Use sparingly to avoid distortion.
- FREQ (Kekerapan): Selects the crossover frequency for the Low Pass Filter (LPF) or High Pass Filter (HPF).
- X-OVER (Suis Silang): Selects between FULL (full range), LPF (Low Pass Filter), or HPF (High Pass Filter) modes.
- DAPATKAN: Padan dengan amplifier's input sensitivity to the output level of your head unit. Start with the gain at minimum and slowly increase until desired volume is achieved without distortion.

6.2 Initial Setup and Tuning
- Tetapkan semua amplifier controls (Gain, Bass Boost) to their minimum positions.
- Set your head unit's volume to about 75% of its maximum.
- Perlahan-lahan tingkatkan amplifier's GAIN control until you hear slight distortion, then back off slightly.
- Adjust the X-OVER switch and FREQ knob according to your speaker type:
- For full-range speakers, set X-OVER to PENUH.
- For subwoofers, set X-OVER to LPF and adjust FREQ to the desired low-pass cutoff (e.g., 80Hz-120Hz).
- For component speakers or tweeters, set X-OVER to HPF and adjust FREQ to the desired high-pass cutoff (e.g., 80Hz-120Hz).
- Use the BASS BOOST control sparingly to enhance bass if desired, ensuring no distortion occurs.
