Installazione è installazione
Una stallazione curretta hè cruciale per una prestazione è una sicurezza ottimali. Hè cunsigliatu chì a stallazione sia effettuata da un prufessiunale qualificatu.
1. Muntatura di u Amppiù vivu
- Choose a secure, well-ventilated location in your vehicle, away from moisture and direct heat.
- Assicuratevi un spaziu adeguatu intornu à u amplifier for air circulation, especially around the aluminum heatsink.
- Munti lu amplifier firmly using appropriate hardware to prevent movement during vehicle operation.
2. Cunnessioni di Potenza
- Connect the main power cable directly to the vehicle's battery, ensuring an inline fuse is installed within 18 inches of the battery.
- Connect the ground cable to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the vehicle chassis, ensuring a solid electrical connection.
- Cunnette u filu di accensione remota da a vostra unità principale à u ampinput remotu di u lifier.
- U amplifier operates with a 6 Volt input voltage.
3. Cunnessioni d'Input Audio
The ZG-600.4 offers both RCA (low-level) and high-level inputs for compatibility with various head units.
- Ingressi RCA: Use high-quality RCA cables to connect the head unit's pre-amp uscite à u amplifier's CH1/CH2 and CH3/CH4 RCA inputs.
- Ingressi di altu livellu: If your head unit lacks RCA outputs, use the high-level inputs. Connect the speaker wires from your head unit to the ampterminali d'entrata di altu livellu di u lifier.
4. Speaker Output Connections
- Cunnette i vostri parlanti à u amplifier's speaker output terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).

Istruzzioni di funziunamentu
The Hifonics Zeus ZG-600.4 ampL'amplificatore offre diversi cuntrolli per affinà u vostru sistema audio.
1. Power On / Off
- U amplifier will power on automatically when the remote turn-on signal is received from your head unit.
- A power indicator light will illuminate when the amplifier hè operativu.
2. Level (Gain) Adjustment
- The "LEVEL" knobs adjust the input sensitivity (gain) for each channel pair (CH1/CH2 and CH3/CH4).
- Imposta u guadagnu per currisponde à u vulume di uscitatage di a vostra unità principale. Cuminciate cù u guadagnu à u minimu è aumentatelu pianu pianu finu à ottene u vulume desideratu senza distorsioni.
- Nota: Setting the gain too high can lead to distorted sound and potential damage to speakers or the amppiù vivu.
3. Crossover Settings (X-OVER)
U amplifier features adjustable crossovers to direct specific frequency ranges to your speakers.
- Cambia MODE: Select between 2CH (2-channel), 4CH (4-channel), or MONO (bridged mono) operation.
- HIGH PASS (HPF): Filters out frequencies below the set point. Useful for full-range speakers to prevent them from playing low bass.
- PASSA BASSU (LPF): Filters out frequencies above the set point. Useful for subwoofers.
- FULL: Bypasses the crossover, allowing full-range audio.
- X-OVER FREQUENCY: Adjusts the cutoff frequency for the high-pass or low-pass filter.
- Nota: Some users have reported issues with the built-in hi-pass filter. External filters may be considered if optimal performance is not achieved.
4. Bass EQ / Subsonic Filter
- EQ BASS: Provides a bass boost at a specific frequency. Use sparingly to avoid distortion.
- SUBSONIC: Filters out extremely low, inaudible frequencies that can waste amplifier power and damage subwoofers.
