2. Connect High-Level Input: Connect the factory speaker wires to the corresponding high-level input terminals on the AX-ADCT2. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative) for each channel (Left and Right). The AX-ADCT2 features a 'Hi-IN' input section with 'L' and 'R' terminals.
3. पॉवर आणि ग्राउंड कनेक्शन:
   • कनेक्ट करा ग्राउंड wire (usually black) from the AX-ADCT2 harness to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the vehicle chassis.
   • कनेक्ट करा 12V Constant Power wire (usually yellow) from the AX-ADCT2 harness to a constant 12V power source.
   • कनेक्ट करा रिमोट चालू wire (usually blue) from the AX-ADCT2 harness to the remote turn-on output of your aftermarket head unit or to a switched 12V source that turns on with the ignition. This wire will provide the remote turn-on signal for your aftermarket ampलाइफायर
4. आरसीए आउटपुट कनेक्ट करा: Connect RCA cables from the 'OUTPUT' jacks on the AX-ADCT2 to the RCA input jacks on your aftermarket ampलाइफायर
5. आउटपुट पातळी समायोजित करा: The AX-ADCT2 features separate variable level adjustments for each channel. Use a small screwdriver to carefully adjust these potentiometers to match the input sensitivity of your aftermarket amplifier. Start with the levels at their minimum setting and gradually increase them until the desired output is achieved without distortion.
6. चाचणी प्रणाली: Reconnect the vehicle's battery. Turn on the audio system and test for proper functionality. Adjust the level controls on the AX-ADCT2 and your amplifier as needed to achieve balanced sound.

5. ऑपरेटिंग सूचना
