WIRING:
OVERVIEW
The Clarion Camouflage subwoofer system provides for the installation of a low frequency driver in an enclosure which
is powered by a small low current, high power class "D" (Digital) amplifier. The advantage to using this type of amplifier
is in the low current consumption of the amplifier at high power levels. The class "D" amplifier provided with this system
will produce a rated 100W into a 2 ohm load. The woofer supplied with this system uses a voice coil with rated imped-
ance of 2 ohms, and therefore is not considered a standard woofer. Replacing the woofer with any driver having an
impedance greater than 2 ohms will yield lower power output from the amplifier, and is not recommended.
PROCEDURE
Proper installation of this product requires proper tools and knowledge of car audio principles. If you are not comfortable
performing any of the outlined tasks below, contact a professional installation facility to perform the work.
