Cerwin Vega Mobile amplifiers can exceed that level so please exercise restraint when listening and enjoying your new amplifier. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS eThis unit is designed for negative ground 12V DC operation only. Total system impedance must not be less than 2ohms, in a bridged OR stereo configuration Avoid installing the unit where: - It would be subject to high temperatures, such as from direct sunlight or hot ir from the heater. - It would be exposed to rain or moisture. - It would be subject to dust or dirt. eDo not cover the unit with carpet or wires. eDo not use the unit with a weak auto battery. Optimum performance depends on a normal battery supply voltage. efor safety reasons, keep the volume of your car audio system moderate while driving your vehicle so that you can still hear normal traffic sounds outside your car. eThere is NO speaker level input connector, you can cut RCA's and solder the wires and connect directly thru low level input(RCA) MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS Although Cerwin Vega Mobile amplifiers incorporate heat sinks and protection circuits, mounting the amplifier in a tight space without any air movement can still damage internal circuitry over time. Choose a location that provides adequate ventilation around the amplifier. For easy system set-up, mount the amplifier so the side panel controls will be accessible after installation. To increase thermal run times on low impedance loads, an additional fan is recommended, remember any moving air across the amplifier will reduce heat. In addition, observe the following precautions: 1. Using a felt pen mark the mounting hole locations. 2. Mounting the amplifier on carpet will significantly reduce air flow, resulting in reduced thermal run times. 3. Mount the amplifier on a solid surface. Avoid mounting to sub woofer enclosures or areas prone to vibration. Do not install the amplifier on plastic or other combustible materials. 4. Prior to mounting the amplifier, make sure not to cut or drill info the fuel tank, fuel lines, brake lines (under chassis) or electrical wiring. WIRING PRECAUTIONS 1. Before installation, make sure the source unit power switch is in the OFF position. 2. Disconnect the negative (-) lead of the battery before making any power connections. 3. When making connections, be sure that each one is clean and secure. Insulate all of your connections. Failure to do so may damage your equipment. 4. A secure clean ground connection is critical to the performance of your amplifier. Connect the ground directly fo the car chassis to minimize resistance and avoid any noise problems. 5. Add an external fuse on the amplifier's positive (+) power lead and connect it as close as possible to the vehicles (+) battery terminal. Use a rating that equals the total current consumption at full output of all amplifiers in the system. This external fuse will protect the vehicle from short circuits that can cause a fire. 13 FEATURES SPECIFICATIONS HXM800.2D HXM800.4D HXM800.1D 134MM/5.3IN | 9.74"/247.6mm - | 5.27"/133.9тт — — — — — —> [a-1.75"/44.5mm-= 5.27"/133.9тт — — — — — = le-1.75"/44.5mm = MODEL: Power Rating RMS Power (2 (0) RMS Power (4 0) Bridged (mono 1 ©) Bridged (mono 2 0) Bridged (mono 4 Q) Type Topology Power Supply Power Supply Power Supply Threshold Idle Current Distortion THD (1KHz @40) S/N Ratio (A weighted @1W) S/N Ratio (A weighted @ FP) Input Sensitivity Low Input Level High Input Level Input Impedance Low Input Level High Input Level Output Stage Output Impedance Damping Factor (50Hz @ 40Q)) Bandwidth (-3dB) Crossover (-12dB/Oct) Variable High-Pass Variable Low-Pass Variable Sub-Sonic Fuse Ratings ATC Dimensions Lenght x Width x Height (inches) Lenght x Width x Height (mm) PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS HXM800.2D 400 W Y 2 300 WX 2 N/A N/A 800 W X 1(4 À ONLY) Ful-Range Class D Full PWM 10.0VDC - 17.0VDC (0.78) 0.05% -77.2dBA -98.9dBA 0.2mV - 10.0V YES - UP to 25 W RMS 272 KQ 0.0470 >250 10Hz-35KHz 40Hz - 400Hz 40Hz - 400Hz N/A N/A 9.74 x 5.27 x 1.75 247.6 x 133.9 х 44.5 HXM800.4D 200WX4 120WX4 N/A N/A 400 W X 2(4 Q ONLY) Ful-Range Class D Full PWM 10.0VDC - 17.0VDC (0.74) 0.07% -77.4dBA -97.4dBA 0.2mV - 10.0V YES - UP to 25 W RMS 272 KQ 0.0470 >250 10Hz-35KHz 40Hz - 400Hz 40Hz - 400Hz N/A N/A 9.3 x 5.27 x 1.75 237x 133.9 x 44,5 HXM1100.6D 150WX 4 /250X 2 90WX4/150X2 N/A N/A 300 W X 2/500 W X 1(Ch 5/6 bridged) Ful-Range Class D Full PWM 10.0VDC - 17.0VDC (0.7A) 0.03% -76.7dBA -96.7dBA 0.2mV - 10.0V YES - UP to 25 W RMS 22 КО 0.051 0 >/0 10Hz-35Hz 40Hz -400Hz 30Hz - 300Hz N/A N/A 12.5x 5.27 x 1.75 317.6 x 133.9 x 44.5 [17 SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS FUNCTIONS HXM - 5 CHANNEL/2 AMPLIFIER BOAT SYSTEM HXM800.4D STEREO 2 OHM (8 SPEAKERS - 2 OHM LOAD) HXM800.1D MONO 1 OHM (TO SUBWOOFER{S}) DABTR10 (OR ANY DA SMARTPHONE BLUETOOTH RECEIVER) (BLUETOOTH) DW ) СМ 4 - 8 INCH HXM8 EXTREME HIGH OUTPUT 3-WAY SPEAKER I (2 OHMS ALL CHANNELS) hannel HXM800.4D panel connection) = re FRE A A 2 oie. 0,005 (EE 0 00 yA [Г НН ВЫ = où — SPECIAL BTR CABLE (INCLUDED WITH BTR) BATTERY Remote Bass Control 1 Channel HXM800.1D (front panel connection) 4 - 8 INCH HXM8 EXTREME HIGH OUTPUT 3-WAY SPEAKER (2 OHMS ALL CHANNELS) || ©.

This setting allows ALL frequencies to pass fo the speakers. With the placing the switch in the HPF or LPF position activates the 7” 12dB crossover, adjustable from 40Hz - 400Hz. The 800.1D/1200.1D mono is dedicated for Low Pass (LPF) only with an adjustable frequency from 30Hz - 300Hz. CM FREQ. The 1100.6D (6 channel) amplifier offers full range (FULL) high pass (HPF)or low Lm] pass (LPF) selector switch for channels 1-6. Channel HPE FLAT LPF Placing the switch in the HPF position sets the amplifier to the High Pass Filter mode, enabling frequencies above the cutoff point fo pass. Placing the switch in the LP position sets the amplifier to the Low Pass Filter mode, enabling frequencies below the cutoff point to pass. For system tuning begin with the frequency set at approximately 80Hz and fine tune up or down based on music choice and input level. To adjust the gain setting, turn the amplifier gains all the way down (counterclockwise). If using a remote level control (ALL HXM amplifiers but 800.4D), plug the level control ino the amplifier and turn it to about "HALF-WAY" (approx. the 12 0'clock position) this setups the bass boost so you can turn it UP ..OR...turn it DOWN when playing different music styles. Next turn the source unit volume up to almost full volume (usually about 2 /3rds of the way up) or until the output starts to distort on an oscilloscope. This will be NEARLY full volume on most source units, perhaps one or two “clicks” down from maximum volume. Next, increase the amplifier gain setting until adequate volume is achieved, or unfil distortion is audible and then turn it down a bit until the distortion is inaudible. NOTE: Ideal signal to noise and dynamic range are achieved with the gain at minimum. Most users find adequate gain and volume is achieved at less than halfway in the adjustment range. Avoid setting the amplifier gain very high as noise and distortion will increase significantly. For a more in depth level setting (gain adjustment) procedure, visit the Diamond Audio website. The HPF or LPF crossover adjustment can now be fine tuned. If you are using the amplifier in a HPF configuration and would like the system to be a little bit louder you can increase the HPF Filter frequency and reset the "Gain" of the amplifier. Raising the HPF frequency up to high however will cause a loss of mid range and bass. If you are using the amplifier in a HP filter configuration and you hear voice or vocals coming from your subwoofer system you can tum the LP Filter frequency down (lower). After setting the input gain adjustment and crossover, you may choose to add a small amount of “Bass Boost” in the low frequency region. There is both a Frequency selection (40-100Hz) AND how much boost (0-12dB). Remember that the Bass Boost feature will not fix a poorly designed subwoofer enclosure or subwoofers that didn't sound good to begin with. 1. Make sure any bass EQ or low frequency equalization from the source unit is set to OFF or FLAT. 2. While playing the same musical selections used during the gain setting process, slowly increase the level of the Bass EQ. You should be able to notice a change between 0 and +12dB. At the same time adjust frequency slowly from 40 -100Hz. If you do not notice much difference, then it will not serve any benefit fo increase the boost further. 3. If the boost has audible benefits without adding appreciable distortion, find a level that suits your taste. Remember: it's much easier to construct the right subwoofer enclosure for your listening preferences than relying on a bass boost control fo do the job! 10 | SYSTEM SETUP e 40Hz I 007 4 TURN-ON OPTIONS - configure the “Turn-On Mode” switch for desired turn-on trigger. There are 3 modes available on the HXM series amplifier, REM, DC and VOX. (REM) is the standard 12V trigger wire, (DC) or DC offset, when connected high level in, will sense differences in ground in your wiring through the speaker leads and turn on amplifier, VOX (signal sensing) will sense any kind of signal input into the amplifier RCA turning on the amplifier. Select VOX when using any DIAMOND AUDIO Bluetooth Controller. The most preferred and reliable method is using the REM setting with a 12V frigger wire connected to the vehicles ignition and will provide instant on and off for the amplifier. VOX and DC will provide furn on capabilities for the amplifier when a 12V trigger wire is not available. These methods will have some delay in turning the amplifier on and off. “SWITCHED” , | |] | Co "VOX" VOICE ACTIVATED | o ON | i | MODE C (signal sensing) | > 5. BTR Port — (Bluetooth Receiver Port) This port is specifically to be used with any DIAMOND AUDIO Bluetooth controller. This will allow direct plug in to the amplifier and control simple functions of music playback through the BTR receiver. The supplied cable is the ONLY cable that can be used to plug info the BTR port on the amplifier. Connecting any other non-approved cable info the BTR port of the amplifier can cause damage to the amplifier and not be covered under warranty. The BTR will pair to your phone or selected Bluetooth device and will allow playback through the amplifier to speakers giving you unlimited install options. Play, Pause, Volume up/down, Track up/down, Pairing and Power on/off of Bluetooth audio through this one solution. Once paired, the BTR will auto pair the last person paired to the controller when it was powered down. The unit will remember up to 9 users and have memory without battery for up to 30 days. When connecting a DIAMOND AUDIO controller using the BTR port select the turn on option to VOX.
