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.
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 Play Power amplifiers are capable of delivering extremely high power levels and require a heavyduty and reliable connection to the vehicle’s electrical system. To get the very best performance out of your Bass Habit Play Power amplifier, carefully follow the instructions below:
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.
Minimal ground wire recommended size:
PP70.2 G2: 8 awg / 10mm²
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. Minimal power wire recommended
size:
· PP70.2 G2: 8 awg / 10mm²
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.
POWER CONNECTIONS
STEP 2) SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
Speaker output connections should be made using a minimum of 16 awg / 1.25mm² wire. The terminal accepts up to 8 awg/10mm². Minimum total allowed impedance load is 2 Ohm stereo / 4 Ohm Bridge mode.
2-CHANNEL STEREO SPEAKER SYSTEM
1-CHANNEL BRIDGE MODE
STEP 3) SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
Use high quality RCA jacks cable to make sure that you get the full audio
experience.
SIGNAL CABLE CONNECTIONS
CONTROL PANEL
Bass Habit Play Power 2-channels amplifiers can be used for both speakers and
subwoofers. 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
– 6V. 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. – Then
reduce the GAIN slightly until distortion is no longer heard.
Bass Boost control (BASS BOOST): Bass Boost is adjustable between 0, 6, 12 db
(@ 45Hz) 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 50Hz –
500KHz. 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
50Hz3KHz. 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 “50 Hz” setting.
Power status & Protection LED: · POWER = Power LED lights up when the
amplifier is turned on. Normally during the start-up sequence the POWER and
PROTECT lights will flash as a selft test procedure. · PROTECT = 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.
