INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION EXPERIENCE
Installation of Bass Habit amplifiers may require experience with a variety of mechanical procedures including cable wiring, drilling, etc. This manual only provides general installation and operation instructions. If you have any reservations about your installation skills, please contact your local authorized Bass Habit dealer for help.
CHOOSING AMPLIFIER MOUNTING LOCATIONS
Choose a mounting location in an area where the amplifier will not be damaged, and where the amplifier is not covered up. Mount the amplifier so that it remains dry – never mount an amplifier outside the vehicle or in the engine compartment. Amplifier cooling is essential for proper amplifier operation. If the amplifier is to be installed in an enclosed space, make sure there is sufficient air circulation for the amplifier to cool itself. When mounting the amplifier under a seat, ensure that it is clear of all moving parts and does not affect the seat functionality. Make sure that the amplifier is mounted securely using nuts and bolts or the supplied mounting screws.
WARNING! DO NOT START the amplifier WITHOUT a load on the speaker output terminals.
Ignoring to do so can potentially result in a circuit failure in the start up mode sequence and leave the amplifier stuck in protect mode (see specifications for correct impedance).
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
NOTE! Proceed only if you are a qualified installer, otherwise let your dealer do it.

• Always wear protective eyewear when using tools.
• Turn off all stereo and other electrical devices before you begin.
• Disconnect the (-) negative lead from your vehicle’s battery.
• Keep the amplifier in the package until final installation, and always rest it upwards.
• Never use force when installing a amplifier.
• Locate all fuel lines, brake lines, oil lines and electrical cables when planning your installation.
• Check clearances on both sides of a planned mounting surface before drilling any holes or fixing screws.
• When routing cables, keep input-signal cables away from power cables and speaker wires.
• When making connections, make certain all cables are secure and properly insulated.

STEP 1) POWER CONNECTIONS
The Bass Habit SPL Elite amplifiers are capable of delivering extremely high power levels and require a heavy-duty and reliable connection to the vehicle’s electrical system. To get the very best performance out of your Bass Habit SPL Elite amplifier, carefully follow the instructions below:
Note! It’s strongly recommended to have an additional power source/ battery placed within 2M from the amplifier to get maximum performance.
GROUND CONNECTION (GND):
Connect the amplifiers Ground (GND) terminal to a solid point on the vehicles metal chassis, as close to the amplifiers as possible. Scrape away any paint from this location; use a star-type lock washer to secure the connection.
Ground wire recommended size: SE8000.1D1: 2 x 0 awg/ 2 x 50mm2 SE8000.1D2: 2 x 0 awg/ 2 x 50mm2
POWER CONNECTION (+12V):
Connect a wire directly to the vehicles positive battery terminal, and install an appropriate fuse and holder within 30cm/12” from the battery terminal. Keep the fuse uninstalled at the time for routing and connecting the power wire. Be sure to use grommets whenever routing wires through the firewall or other metal parts. When routing/connecting is done, installation of the fuse into fuse holder can be finalised.
+12V wire recommended size: SE8000.1D1: 2 x 0 awg/ 2 x 50mm2 SE8000.1D2: 2 x 0 awg/ 2 x 50mm2
REMOTE CONNECTION (REM):
Connect the amplifiers Remote (REM) terminal to the source unit Remote turn on lead using a minimum of 0.75mm2/18 gauge wire. If your source unit does not have a turn on connection, connect the amplifier (REM) terminal through a power switch button which can provide a +12V signal.
Remote wire maximum accepted size for terminal:
SE8000.1D1: MAX 10 awg/ 6mm2 (IN) / 10 awg/ 6mm2 (OUT)
SE8000.1D2: MAX 10 awg/ 6mm2 (IN) / 10 awg/ 6mm2 (OUT)
FIG 1: POWER CONNECTIONS
POWER CONNECTIONS FOR SE8000.1D1/ SE8000.1D2

NOTE! SE series amplifiers do not come with internal or external fusing.
Always make sure you install appropriate inline fusing on the positive power source side.
Recommended external fuse size: SE8000.1D1: 2x350A SE8000.1D2: 2x350A
STEP 2) SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
SPEAKER CONNECTIONS (SPEAKER OUTPUT):
Speaker connections should be made using a minimum of 12 awg/4mm2 wire. The terminal accepts up to 8 awg/10mm2. Minimum total allowed impedance load is depending on model See below:
SE8000.1D1 1OHM SE8000.1D2 2OHM
FIG 2: SPEAKER CONNECTIONS WARNING! DO NOT START the amplifier WITHOUT a load on the speaker output terminals.
Ignoring to do so can potentially result in a circuit failure in the start up mode sequence and leave the amplifier stuck in protect mode (see specifications for correct impedance).
STEP 3) SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
SIGNAL CABLE CONNECTION (SIGNAL INPUT):
Use high quality RCA signal cables to make sure you get the full audio experience.
FIG 3: SIGNAL CABLE CONNECTIONS

CONTROL PANEL

FRONT PANEL (SEE FIG 4 ON THE NEXT PAGE)
Bass Habit SPL Elite amplifiers can be used for speakers and subwoofers in the range between 15Hz – 10KHz.
While listening to music, adjust the gain/crossover/subsonic/bass boost for the least perceived distortion from the speakers, allowing them to reproduce as much bass as possible.
Input level control (GAIN):
GAIN control is a seamless adjustable between 0,2V – 5V.
Tips for adjusting the GAIN control correctly:

• Initially turn the GAIN control to minimum (counter clockwise).
• On the source unit, increase the volume control to the 3/4 of maximum volume.
• Slowly increase the GAIN control until you hear slight distortion in the speaker/speakers and the Clipping LED on the amplifier starts to flash or is lit.
• Then reduce the GAIN slightly until distortion is no longer heard or the Clipping LED no longer flashes or is lit.

Bass Boost control (BASS BOOST):
Bass Boost is seamless adjustable between 0-12 db (35Hz – 70 Hz)
Please use the BASS BOOST knob with care, excessive use can damage you system!
LPF Crossover (LPF):
The low pass filter is seamless adjustable between 60Hz – 10KHz. When using a subwoofer, set the frequency cut point at 60Hz and adjust to your own preferences.
HPF Crossover (HPF):
The high pass filter is seamless adjustable between 15Hz–1KHz. The HPF can be used for removing the deepest bass notes from the subwoofer, get a tighter and more rhythmical sound. For a normal setup the HPF should be adjusted to the “15 Hz” setting.
Remote Level Control (REMOTE):
Included with the Bass Habit SPL Elite two channel and five channel amplifier is a wired subwoofer remote volume control with a clipping indicator. This allows you to adjust the level from your listening position. Install the controller at a convenient position close to the driver seat, and connect it to the REMOTE jack on the amplifier. NOTE! The level control will attenuate from the lowest gain to the highest previously set on the amplifier.

Power status, Clipping & Protection LED:

• PWR = Power LED lights up when the amplifier is turned on. Normally during the start-up sequence the PWR, CLIP and PRT lights will flash as a selft test procedure.
• CLIP = Clipping LED flashing or solid. This light is an indicator of distortion in the gain structure and can possibly damage your speakers. Turn down your remote level controller or gain knob.
• PRT = Protect LED light flashing or solid. This light is an indicator of the protect mode status, see the trouble shooting section of the manual for more information.

Line Input:
Connect the line outputs from your source unit and connect to the Line L and R inputs.
Line Output:
Bass Habit SPL Elite class D mono amplifiers are equipped with full-range output that can be used to connect additional amplifiers.
