• Power (RED wire): Connect to a fused +12V constant power source from the vehicle's battery.
• Ground (BLACK wire): Connect to a clean, solid chassis ground point in the vehicle. Ensure good metal-to-metal contact.
• Remote (BLUE wire): Connect to the remote turn-on output of your head unit or other switched +12V source. This turns the equalizer on/off with your audio system.
• Ingressi audio:
  • RCA Inputs (MAIN IN / AUX IN): Collegare i cavi RCA dal pre-amplificatore dell'unità principaleamp outputs to the MAIN IN. Use AUX IN for additional RCA sources.
  • High Level Inputs (HI INPUT): If your head unit does not have RCA outputs, connect the speaker wires directly to the HI INPUT terminals.
• Audio Outputs (FRONT OUT / REAR OUT / SUB OUT): Connect RCA cables from these outputs to the corresponding inputs on your external amplificatori.

7. Istruzioni per l'uso

7.1 Accensione iniziale

1. Dopo aver completato tutti i cablaggi, ricollegare il terminale negativo della batteria del veicolo.
2. Turn on your head unit. The REQ7 should power on automatically via the remote wire.

7.2 Regolazione delle impostazioni audio

• Selezione della fonte: Utilizzare il AUX S/W switch to toggle between the MAIN IN (RCA from head unit) and AUX IN (front panel 3.5mm or rear RCA auxiliary inputs).
• Volume principale: Aumenta lentamente il VOLUME manopola su un livello di ascolto confortevole.
• Livello subwoofer: Regolare il SOTTO LIVELLO knob to blend the subwoofer output with the main speakers.
