10)Digital Dash Control Input: This input allows you to connect the optional AudioControl Digital Dash Control (DDC) which will allow you to control your DQS from the convenience of the drivers seat, passengers seat, back seat or anywhere else the cable will stretch to. See your authorized AudioControl dealer for more information about this option.

11)Power Connections: This incredibly handy connector is a godsend to those who have tried to wire up their gear with their body crammed in the trunk. You can wire up the power, ground, and remote turn-on from the convenience of outside your car and then casually plug it into your DQS.

INSTALLING THE DQS

Up to this point everything you have read has served to educate you on the operations of the DQS. We are sure that you are chomping at the bit to install your DQS so we recommend you read the following sections very carefully.

A. Placement & Mounting of your DQS

Placement: The DQS needs to be installed in the signal path after your source unit but defi- nitely before your amplifiers and/or any active crossovers. The chassis is usually mounted in the rear of the vehicle, as close to the amplifiers as possible.

Mounting: Once you have selected a perma- nent mounting location, position the unit and mark the appropriate mounting holes with a felt- tip pin or scratch awl. Before doing anything else, make sure you are not about to drill a hole in a gas tank or pierce any existing wiring. Nothing ruins your day more than an expensive repair bill. Drill a few small pilot holes and secure the chassis of the DQS with self-tapping screws.
