Owner's Manual
Low-Level Inputs:
If
your
source
unit
only
has
low-level
RCA
phono
jack
output,
use
only
the
low-level inputs
of
the
Amplified
Bazooka. Connect
the
low-level
RCA
phono
jack
inputs
of
the
Amplified
Bazooka
subwoofer
to
the
source
with
a shielded
RCA
patch cord.
To
avoid possible noise
problems, be sure
to
run
the
patch cord
away
from
all
power
wires
and
factory
wire
harnesses.
When
using
the
low-level inputs
DO
NOT
make any connections
to
the
Green and Gray high-level
input
wires
of
the
Amplified
Bazooka
subwoofer
and make sure these wires are
insulated
to
avoid
the
possibility
of
a
short
circuit.
POWER
WIRE
The
power
wire
must be fused and connected
directly
to
the
positive
terminal
of
the
battery
to
provide
a
power
source
with
a
low
voltage
drop
and
low
noise. Do
not
make
the
power
connection
at
the
fuse
block
or
any
point
other
than
the
battery.
Improper
power
sources
can reduce
output
and cause
distortion.
The fuse holder should be connected
to
the
battery•s positive terminal.
The fuse
is
designed
to
prevent
fire
or
damage
to
your
car,
should
the
battery
wire
short
to
ground.
Wait
to
insert
the
fuse
into
its
holder
until
all
wire
connections have been made.
If
it
is
necessary
to
lengthen
the
battery
wire, add
the
required
length
between
the
amplifier
and
the
fuse holder,
not
the
fuse
holder
and
the
battery.
If
you need
to
extend
t he
battery
wire,
use
16
gauge
or
larger
for
all A 100, and
12
gauge
or
larger
for
all A200 models.
It
is
best
to
use
as
short a
wire
as
possible.
Be
sure you
DO
NOT run
the
power
wire
next
to
the
input
cables
of
the
amplifier
this
will
induce
noise. Avoid
running
the
power
wire
near
the
radio•s
antenna
or
power
leads,
or
near sensitive
equipment
or
harnesses. The
power
wire
carries substantial currents and could induce noise.
GROUND
WIRE
The
ground
wire
must be connected
directly
to
the
vehicle chassis
near
the
amplifier. We
do
not
recommend extending
the
ground
wire
in any
installation,
as
this
can cause
unwanted
ground
loops.
The
ground
point
in
the
car should be a piece
of
chassis metal
that
is
part
of
or
welded
to
the
main
body
of
the
vehicle. Painted surfaces
should be scraped
or
sanded clean
to
expose
the
bare metal
before
the
ground
lug
is
bolted
down.
(Cover
the
bare metal area
with
paint
or
grease
after
you finish
mounting
the
ground
wire
to
prevent rust.)
