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 heavy-duty 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:
- PP600.1 G2: 4 awg/ 20mm²
- PP1000.1 G2: 4 awg/ 20mm²
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:
- PP600.1 G2: 4 awg/ 20mm²
- PP1000.1 G2: 4 awg/ 20mm²
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)
SUBWOOFER CONNECTIONS
Subwoofer 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 1 Ohm mono.
MONO CHANNEL SUBWOOFER SYSTEM (1 SUBWOOFER)
STEP 2) SUBWOOFER
CONNECTIONS
MONO CHANNEL SUBWOOFER SYSTEM (2 SUBWOOFER)
STEP 3) SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
Use high quality RCA jacks cable to make sure that you get the full audio
experience.
The Signal on BRIDGE OUT is the same as FRONT INPUT.
SIGNAL CABLE CONNECTIONS
CONTROL PANEL
Bass Habit Play Power mono amplifiers are constructed to be used for
subwoofers.
While listening to music, adjust the gain/crossover/subsonic/bass boost for
the least perceived distortion from the subwoofers, allowing them to reproduce
as much bass as possible.
Input level control (GAIN):
GAIN control is 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 subwoofers.
- Then reduce the GAIN slightly until distortion is no longer heard.
Bass Boost control (BASS BOOST):
PP600.1 G2 adjustable between 0-18dB (@ 45Hz)
PP1000.1 G2 adjustable between 0-12dB and 30-80Hz
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 40Hz – 180Hz (PP1000.1 G2),
32-300Hz (PP600.1 G2). When using a subwoofer, set the start frequency cut
point at 60Hz and adjust to your own preferences.
Subsonic Crossover:
The high pass filter is seamless adjustable between 15Hz-50Hz. The Subsonic
filter can be used for removing the deepest bass notes from the subwoofer, get
a tighter and more rhythmical sound.
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.
Bridge In/Output (BRIDGE IN/OUT)
Two separeate Bass Habit Play Power mono amplifier G2 (same model) can be
linked to power a minimum 2 Ohm subwoofer setup for increased power output.
Follow these instructions carefully, if not carried out correctly you may
permanently damage your products.
The power cables on both amplifiers need to be of the same size and quality.
Consult your local Bass Habit dealer to make sure that you have the right size
cables and fuses.
The settings on the main amplifier (AMP1 in the illustration) will be
operational, the settings on the linked amplifier (AMP2 in the illustration)
will not.
Use a high quality RCA cable to connect the two amplifiers, the link connects
from the BRIDGE OUT on AMP1 to BRIDGE IN on AMP2.
Connect as the Illustration. Bridge the negative (-) speaker connectors on
each amplifier and connect AMP1 negative speaker terminal to AMP2 negative
speaker terminal.
Bridge the positive (+) speaker connector and connect the speaker cables to
your subwoofer setup. IMPORTANT: The minimum load is 2 Ohm, this only possible
with two (2) Bass Habit PP600.1 G2 or 1000.1 G2. Note: PP600.1 can NOT be
linked with PP1000.1
