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 experience, 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.
