SAFETY AND WARRANTY

CAUTION & WARNING

• Before wiring, disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal.
• Ensure good and correct connections.
• Never connect any speaker lead to the car chassis.
• This can cause severe damage to your car audio setup.
• Before drilling or cutting any holes, investigate the layout of your vehicle thoroughly.
• Use caution when working near the fuel/hydraulic lines and electrical wiring.
• Observe the correct polarity when wiring. Improper phasing may cause a loss of bass response.
• Do not expose this product to excessive damp or moisture Do not use any functions that may take your concentration away from driving your vehicle.
• Do not setup your amplifier whilst driving. Doing so may result in an accident. For prolonged interaction with the product, make sure that your vehicle is stationary and parked in a safe location
• Bass Habit equipment is capable of sound pressure levels that can cause permanent damage to your hearing and those around you. Please use common sense when listening to your audio system and practice safe sound. Keep the volume at a level so you can still hear outside noise. Failure to do this may result in an accident. Bass Habit recommends caution when listening at a high volume. For safety and enjoyable listening, the sound should be clear without distortion.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION EXPERIENCE
Installation of Bass Habit amplifiers may require experience with a variety of mechanical procedures including cable wiring, drilling, etc .. 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.
• Turnoff 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.
• 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.

POWER CONNECTIONS

Bass Habit amplifiers are capable of delivering extremely high power levels and require a heavy duty and reliable connection to the vehicle’s electrical system to work properly, carefully follow the instructions below:

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.

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 12V+ Power/ Ground wires recommended sizes:

• RAB00W: BAWG /10mm2
• RA1200W: 4AWG /20mm2
• RA2000W: 2AWG /33mm2

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

SPEAKER CONNECTIONS

Speaker output connections should be made using a minimum of 16 AWG / 1.25mm2 wires. The terminal accepts up to 8 AWG/10mm2

Minimum total allowed impedance load is:
RAS00W: 2 Ohm stereo/ 4 Ohm Bridge/ mono mode.
RA1200W / RA2000W: 1 Ohm mono mode

SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
Use high quality RCA jacks cable to make sure that you get the full audio experience.
On RA1200W / RA2000W there are rca signal options. OUTPUT is the same as INPUT signal for easy connection to next/other amplifier

CONTROL PANEL

Bass Habit 2 & 4 channel amplifiers can be used for speakers and subwoofers.
Bass Habit 1 channel amplifier can normally be used for subwoofers.

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):
RAB00W : Bass Boost is adjustable between 0, 6, 12 db(@ 4SHz)
RA1200W/RA2000W: Bass Boost is variable adjustable between 0-12 dB(@ 4SHz)
Please use the BASS BOOST knob with care, excessive use can damage you system!

LPF Crossover (LPF):
RAB00W : The low pass filter is seamless adjustable between 50Hz – 250Hz
RA1200W/RA2000W: The low pass filter is seamless adjustable between 32Hz – 250Hz
Tip! When using a subwoofer, set the frequency cut point at B0Hz and adjust to your own preferences.

HPF Crossover (HPF & Subsonic):
RAB00W : The high pass filter is seamless adjustable between 32Hz – 2KHz, an can normally be used to remove and protect the subwoofer notes from midrange/coaxial and similar speakers. 80Hz is a good starting point.
RA1200W/RA2000W: The subsonic filter can be adjusted variable between 15-S0Hz and are intended for removing the deepest bass notes from the subwoofer. Ifs possible protect and get a tighter more rhythmical sound. 20Hz is a good starting point.

Line Input:
Connect the line outputs from your source unit and connect to the Line Land R inputs.
