INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION EXPERIENCE
Installation of Bass Habit E28DSP may require experience with a variety of mechanical procedures including
cable wiring, drilling, etc. This manual only provides general installation and operation instructions. If you have
any reservations about your installation skills, please contact your local authorized Bass Habit dealer for help.
CHOOSING DSP MOUNTING LOCATIONS
Choose a mounting location in an area where the DSP will not be damaged, and where the DSP is not
covered up. Mount the DSP so that it remains dry - never mount an DSP outside the vehicle or in the engine
compartment. If the DSP is to be installed in an enclosed space, make sure there is sufficient air circulation for
the DSP to cool itself. When mounting the DPS under a seat, ensure that it is clear of all moving parts and does
not affect the seat functionality. Make sure that the DPS is mounted securely using nuts and bolts or screws.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
NOTE! Proceed only if you are a qualified installer, otherwise let your dealer do it.
• Always wear protective eye-wear when using tools.
• Turn off all stereo and other electrical devices before you begin.
• Disconnect the (-) negative lead from your vehicle’s battery.
• Keep the DSP in the package until final installation, and always rest it upwards.
• Never use force when installing a DSP.
• 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
To get the very best performance out of your Bass Habit Elite DSP, carefully follow the instructions below:
GROUND CONNECTION (GND):
Connect the DSP Ground (GND) terminal to a solid point on the vehicle’s metal chassis, as close to the DPS as
possible. Scrape away any paint from this location; use a star-type lock washer to secure the connection.
Ground wire:
Recommended size: 2.5 mm2(13 awg)
BATTERY CONNECTION (+BAT):
Connect a wire directly to the vehicle’s 12V 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 the fuse holder can be finalized.
+12V wire:
Recommended size: 2.5 mm2(13 awg) (Min. 1A fuse)
REMOTE CONNECTION (REM IN):
Connect the DSP Remote (REM IN) terminal to the source unit Remote turn on lead using a minimum of 1.5mm2
(16 awg). If your source unit does not have a turn on connection, connect the DSP (REM IN) terminal through
a power switch button which can provide a +12V signal.
