Caution
This amplifier is not supplied with a internal fuse.
Make sure you install a in-line fuse holder
from the postitive (+) terminal of battery.
Recommend 800 Ampere fuse.
+12V Power
Connect the +12V terminal of the amplifier to the positive (+) terminal of the battery using the same diameter
cable as the ground cable, making sure you install a in-line fuse holder, approximately 300 or 400 mm.
from the positive (+) terminal of battery.
GROUND
Disconnect the battery and connect the GND (ground) terminal to the cars chassis.
Keep this cable as short as possible (not longer than 20 inches or less).
Making sure that the connection with the chassis is rust free and clear of paint or grime.
REMOTE
Connect the REM terminal of the amplifier to the power antenna terminal in the car ignition switch
using 12 or 14 ga. electrical wire.

When wiring two amplifiers to a single subwoofer, please make sure power handling capabilities will
not be exceeded.
Caution !!
When in strapped mode connection, XS-8K & XS-8X the minimum working impedance
is 2 Ohms. Any impedance (load) lower than 2 Ohms can damage the amplifiers.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
prevent any damages from misuse or faulty conditions.
If XS-8K & XS-8X sense excessive heat, short circuited speakers DC, or voltage the protection indicator
to check the problem, you should turn all levels down
for wiring mistakes or short.
If XS-8K & XS-8X shut down due to excessive heat, they will remain in thermal protection until amplifier reaches
normal operating temperature. Before removing your amplifier, refer to the list below and follow the sugguested
proceedures.
NO OUTPUT
Check remote turn-on voltage at amplifier and headunit, when remote turn-on voltage is low
or no turn-on voltage, there is no sound.
Check fuses at the battery side or external fuses and all wire connections.
Check RCA Input is properly connected.
AMPLIFIER SHUT DOWN ( PROTECTION )
Please check POWER, GND and REMOTE wire connection and other wires properly connected.
When DC is over 4V at input, try by replacing head-unit or source.
on after it cools down. Please install amplifier in a better ventilated area.
XS-8K & XS-8X have a minimum working impedance of 1ohm as single unit. Strapped connection is 2 ohm
XS-8K voltage protection at low and high is 8.5V ~ 16V, XS-8X is 8.5V ~ 18V.
Make sure Chassis and Remote use same GROUND.
DISTORTION & NOISE
Check all ground connections of all other audio equipment.
POOR BASS RESPONSE
Check speaker wiring and reverse polarity.
