FAQ
Product FAQ:
Q: Does it have or is there a way to include 3.5mm input for MP3 players?
A: Yes, the unit does have a 3.5mm input but does not include the cord.
Q: Hi, can I plug an autoradio with cable? Is there a cable input for 4 channels (not use the Bluetooth all time)?
A: Yes, for audio input to amplifier, please connect the old car autoradio's line out to VX502 amplifier's auxiliary in - black wire with red/white cap.
Q: Can I run black wire directly to neg and yellow to positive battery without a switch? Turn off from remote, without draw when off? Or install switch?
A: Yes, you can run the black wire directly to the negative and yellow to positive battery without a switch. You can turn it off from remote without any draw when it is off.
Q: Will this work on a Honda 06 Goldwing GL1800?
A: There is a strong possibility that it would work because other customers have used it on their Harley Road for a short time.
Q: What is the power consumption per hour?
A: The maximum volume requires 3A current, so the maximum power consumption is around 42-48W.
Q: 45 watts x 4 or 25 watts x 4? Listing says both throughout. Listing info seems inconsistent and misleading.
A: The RMS output is 25x4 at a 4 ohms load and 45x4 at a 2 ohms load. You can set it up at a 4 ohms load and it will drive four 6.5 inch marine speakers and four 1 inch tweeters very well.
Q: Is there an antenna connection for the FM radio?
A: No, there is no FM radio. This amp picks up Bluetooth radio signal like from a smartphone and then amplifies it. You can get FM stations on the internet with your phone and then amplify it with this amp. It will also take an aux cable from a device.
Note: It is strongly recommended to read the wiring guide carefully or go to a shop for professional installation to make sure the amplifier works properly and lasts long. The product comes with a 1-year quality promise.
