recommended in two configurations. (Please see Wiring Configurations for more details.) 1) Front Stereo Configuration ® One MaxxBass Processor is used between the front channel source and front speaker amplifier to increase the bass response on only the front speakers. This is recommended to improve bass imaging in high performance systems with rear mounted subwoofers. 2) Dual Stereo Configurations For systems without rear subwoofers, the user may prefer to use two ® MaxxBass Processors, one for

This is accomplished using the science of psychoacoustics on how we perceive sound. By building audio systems optimized for how we hear sound, significant performance improvements can be obtained. This is analogous to designing and building televisions that only display red, green and blue dots. When we view these displays our visual perception combines these dots to make a full color spectrum without needing to reproduce all the necessary color frequencies. ® Unlike other bass technologies Maxx

WIRING CONFIGURATIONS ® The MaxxBass Processor is recommended in two different configurations. 1. Front Stereo Configuration The figure below illustrates the wiring for a front stereo configuration. One ® MaxxBass Processor is used between the front channel source and front speaker amplifier to increase the bass response only on the front speakers. ® Implementing MaxxBass on the front speakers will increase the perceived bass response of these speakers down to 30-40Hz providing a Virtual Subwoof

2. Dual Stereo Configurations For systems without rear subwoofers, the user may prefer to use two ® MaxxBass Processors, one for the front speakers and one for the rear speakers. The units should be wired between the in-dash CD Receiver and the power amplifiers as shown below.

The ground wire should be of the same gauge wire as the power wire. As a rule of thumb, use as short length of wire as possible. Find a location near the ® MaxxBass Processor that is metal ( the floor is ideal) and clean an area about the size of a quarter to bare metal. Drill a pilot hole in the middle of this area. Terminate the wire with a ring connector and attach it to the bare metal using a #8 sheet metal screw and washer (not supplied). We suggest crimping and/or soldering this connection

INPUT To use Speaker Level Inputs (common ground head units only), connect RCA plugs to the front or rear speaker leads as shown. NOTE: It is important to connect an input signal to both RCA input jacks if a stereo amplifier is used, otherwise the connected channel receives full range and the disconnected channel will receive only the harmonics. Use a RCA female to dual male “Y” cord if mono input is used. Front speakers In-dash with Virtual LF RF TM CD Receiver Subwoofer Front Rear Maxx LR RR ®

® MAXXBASS PROCESSOR SETTINGS To achieve proper performance it is important to set or tune the settings on ® the MaxxBass Processor to the final system. This section recommends initial settings and the users can then further adjust these for optimal listening. 1. CROSSOVER: The CROSSOVER control implements a -24dB/octave low pass filter on the input. Set the CROSSOVER control to OFF if the amplifier ® and speakers after the MaxxBass Processor are full range speakers or if passive crossovers are
