Processor Installation

1. Find a suitable location in the vehicle to mount the processor. The X-10 is a trunk mount unit and it should be installed in close proximity to your amplifier system

	on the amp rack. You should pick a location that offers easy access to the unit for adjustment.
2.	Before starting, disconnect the vehicle’s negative battery ground to prevent short circuits.
3.	There are three power terminals on the X-10:
• A red 18 gauge stranded or heavier and insulated wire should be connected to the terminal marked B+. Wire an in-line fuse holder on this lead as it is the 12
	Volts DC wire for the system. This wire should be connected to your vehicle’s battery. If a wire is run directly to the battery make sure to install a in-line fuse
	on this wire within 12” from the battery.
• A black stranded wire of at least 18 gauge should be connected to the terminal marked B-. This is the ground wire for the X-10 and should be attached to the		13
	same ground point with the amplifiers in the system. Keeping this ground wire as short as possible improves the electrical circuit and keeps ground related
	noise problems to a minimum.

•An orange stranded wire of a least 20 gauge should be connected to the terminal marked Remote. This wire connects to your head unit’s remote out or power antenna lead out. This wire should supply 12 Volts DC any time the radio, cd or cassette are playing. This lead must also be connected to any other components in your system that utilize a remote turn-on lead for powering up.

4.Connect all line inputs and outputs using high-quality RCA-RCA cables.

5.Recheck all connections before powering up.

6. Set all level controls to their least sensitive positions and set all crossover controls, switches, etc. to the desired frequency or position.

7.Once the system is powered up, set the volume control on the head unit to about the 2 o'clock position, and then set all the amplifiers' level controls for half output level.

8.You are now ready to do a engine noise test. Start the vehicle’s engine. Turn the audio system on and listen to the system at various volumes and engine RPMs. If you have ignition noise, turn the engine off and refer to the “Trouble Shooting Page” of this manual.

9.If there is no ignition noise in the system, securely tighten the crossover mounting screws and double check the wiring for security. You are ready to start adjusting your X-10 Active Crossover
