WHAT’S IN THE BOX
MOUNTING THE BASSPRO NANO
Recommended location: under the passenger seat
NOTE: Before securing the BassPro Nano with mounting screws, check beneath the mounting surface to ensure you will not puncture fuel lines, brake lines, or any vehicle wires. Also ensure that the BassPro Nano will not interfere with seat operation or wiring, or block under seat heater/air conditioning vents.

SETTING GAIN, ADJUSTING PHASE, LOWPASS FILTER, AND BASS BOOST
- Start with GAIN control set to a minimum, and the crossover control rotated midway.
- Choose music with substantial bass content and turn the volume control on your receiver to ¾ of its total output.
- Adjust the GAIN control clockwise, listening carefully to the bass output. If you hear distortion, turn the GAIN control counterclockwise to decrease the GAIN.
- Switch the PHASE back and forth to determine which setting provides the cleanest bass output.
- Adjust the LOW-PASS FILTER control until the BassPro Nano plays only low-frequency information – you should not hear elements such as vocals coming from the woofer.
- Adjust the BASS-BOOST control clockwise or counterclockwise to suit your taste.

TROUBLESHOOTING
No audio and POWER indicator is off
-
No voltage at BATT+ and/or REM terminals, or bad or no ground connection. Check voltages at amplifier terminals with VOM.
No audio and PROTECT indicator flashes every 4 seconds -
DC voltage on amplifier output. The amplifier may need service; see the enclosed warranty card for service information.
No audio and PROTECT and POWER indicators flash -
Voltage less than 9V on BATT+ connection. Check vehicle charging system.
No audio and PROTECT indicator is on -
The amplifier is overheated. Make sure amplifier cooling is not blocked at the mounting location. Or, there may be a voltage greater than 16V (or less than 8.5\.O on BATT+ connection.
Check vehicle charging system. The amplifier fuse keeps blowing -
The wiring is connected incorrectly or there is a short circuit.
Check wiring connections.
Distorted audio -
GAIN is not set properly. Check to set. Check wires for shorts or grounds. The amplifier or source unit may be defective.
Music lacks dynamics or “punch.” -
If using speaker-level inputs, check connections for proper polarity. Switch PHASE back and forth between 0° and 180° and leave on setting with the best sound.
Engine noise—whining or clicking—in the system when the engine is on -
The amplifier is picking up alternator noise. First, check the ground connection on the amplifier — loose or improper ground is one of the main causes of noise. Turn down GAIN. Move RCA audio cables away from power wires. Installing an alternator noise filter on the power line between the battery and alternator might also be necessary.
