APSP G6 /

INSTALLATION MANUAL

1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

APSP G6 was specifically designed for VW Golf 6(*) and comprises:

1. An AP8.9 bit G6 amplifier equipped with bit Drive technology and integrated with 7 drive pre-set dedicated to

VW Golf 6(*) designed by the Audison R&D team for “Plug&Sound” performance. The 7 “Drive preset” pre-

loaded in the AP8.9 bit G6 memory enables you to use to product without PC connection. Pre-set is chosen

based on the user's preferences. AP8.9 bit G6 is equipped with DCC-Direct Cockpit Current technology and is

powered directly from the rear connector of the OEM source.

2. An APBX G6 passive closed-box subwoofer, which contains a compact speaker APS 250. The box is specifically

designed to be placed on the left side of the boot, and is very compact in size and is fixed to the car without

drilling the chassis. The mounting kit and installation manual are in the package.

3. A front two-way system that includes the AP 6.5 G6 woofers, AP 1 SP tweeters and specific crossovers,

adapters to set up OEM for the speakers, connectors, and gaskets for perfect integration with the pillars.

4. A complete set of special cables for the car and kit, designed with Plug&Sound technology to be connected

to original car manufacturer connectors, without needing to change the original car cables.

5. A special APSP G6 Harness that draws power of AP8.9 bit G6 directly from the rear connector of the OEM source.

The kit is designed to be installed on a VW Golf 6(*) in less than 2 hours; this time can vary according to the conditions

and equipment of the vehicle.

Note: • All kit components have been designed to be attached to the manufacturer's original attachment points on the vehicle.

• Pay special care during the removal and insertion of the speakers' xing rivets.

• Make sure all the gaskets supplied with the speakers are positioned correctly and are working perfectly.

• The connectors are fragile components and must be handled with care.

• After installation and before restarting the system, make sure the equalization of the vehicle's radio is flat.

• Install the kit components by following the instructions to ensure they do not prevent airbags or other safety devices of

the car from working correctly.

• Use suitable quality equipment to simplify, accelerate and achieve optimal installation.

These installation instructions are updated to revision 01. Additional documents can be downloaded from www.audison.eu.

If there is a malfunction during installation of the kit, check the section regarding “TROUBLESHOOTING” at the end of this manual.

If you have consulted the aforesaid section and are still unable to solve the problem, visit www.audison.eu or contact your Audison

authorised, specialised centre or ofcial assistance via email: [email protected].
