- Page 2 In addition, you have the ability to mount the chassis of the 6XS in the rear of the car (we recommend staying away from the bumper), and mount the dash control in some easily accessible location.
- Page 3 “Quick Install” information and guidelines: 1) Using the following system drawings as reference, decide where in the signal path to place the 6XS. It needs to be before your amplifiers, but after your source unit, equalizers, CD player, VCR or blender.

- Page 5 If your source unit has front, rear, and subwoofer outputs (aka “six channel”), connect them to the identical inputs on your 6XS. However, if you are only using front and rear signals (four channel) or just two channels, the Auto Mode circuitry in your 6XS will automatically feed your subwoofer channel with signal from your front inputs.

- Page 10 30 Hz to 90Hz Should your system require different frequencies than what comes with the 6XS, fear not, as you can change the crossover modules to accommodate just about any system configuration. Most importantly, we recommend that you select crossover frequencies according to the characteristics of your speakers.
- Page 11 If your system design calls out for crossover frequencies that your dealers does not stock, you can create custom modules by using the following formula: __7200___ = Resistor Value In Kilohms Frequency (Hz) Example: For a 2500Hz module - 7200/2500=2.88K ohms The 24 dB crossover module requires eight resistors of this value.

TROUBLESHOOTING No Power: If the Power LED on your 6XS will not turn on, check to make sure that the power wire and remote turn on wires are connected or a fuse has not blown. Sounds Distorted: Should your system sound distorted or your speakers are moving way too much, you should first decrease the remote level control and output levels on your 6XS. - Page 13 People are scared of warranties.
