• To get the very best performance from your BASS HABIT amplifier we recommend that installation be intrusted to a qualified installer. Although these instructions explain how to install a BASS HABIT amplifier in general, they do not show specific installation methods that may be required for your particular vehicle. If you do not have the necessary tools or experien-ce, do not attempt the installations yourself. If any uncertainty please ask your local Bass Habit dealer about a professional installation.

INSTALLATION

• Turn off the audio system and other electronic devices before you start. Disconnect the negative (-) lead from your vehicle’s battery.
• 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.
• Check clearances on both sides of a planned mounting surface before drilling any holes or fixing any screws. Remember that the screws can extend behind the surface.
• At the installation area, locate and take note of all fuel lines, hydraulic brake lines, vacuum lines and electrical wiring. Use extreme caution when cutting or drilling in and around these areas.
• Before drilling or cutting any holes, use a utility knife to remove unwanted fabric or vinyl to keep material from snagging in a drill bit.
• When routing cables, keep input-signal cables away from power cables and speaker wires.
• When making connections, make certain ale cables are secure and properly insulated.
• Make sure that the amplifier is mounted securely using nuts and bolts or the supplied mounting screws.
