Precautions
To prevent short circuits, be sure to disconnect the negative battery ground lead before wiring the system up.
When you finish the installation, be sure to make one more check to be sure everything is done correctly.
Reinstate all car parts that were removed.
Reconnect the negative battery ground lead.

RCA jacks used to connect to the bass amplifier line inputs.
Allows you to change the phase of your subwoofer 0 or 180 degrees to help compensate for
timing differences between drivers.
For selection of stereo or mono mode subwoofer output.
Use these connectors to deliver power, ground and remote turn-on control to the unit.
REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
1 Q SELECT
This control will narrow or widen the boost frequency bandwidth (Q=factor being
sent to the amplifier for each band from Q=20(Narrow bandwidth, steep slope to
Q=2 (Wide bandwidth, gentle slopes .
2 BASS FREQUENCY
This control sets the center frequency of the bass boost effect from 40Hz to 400Hz.
3 SUBWOOFER LEVEL CONTROL
This control sets the subwoofer level control.

Mounting and installation
Your new Blitz Series Bass Driver comes complete with all required mounting
hardware.
Mark the location for the mounting screw holes by positioning the crossover
where you wish to install it and use a scribe (or one of the mounting screws
inserted in each of the mounting holes to mark the mounting surface. If the
mounting surface is carpeted, measure the hole centers and mark with a felt
tip pen.
Before attempting to drill the mounting holes, take note of any wires, lines or
other devices in your vehicle which may be located behind the mounting surface!
Then drill pilot in the mounting surface for the mounting screws and insert
then. Tighten the screws securely.

Noise chec and system adjustment
NOISE CHECK
Check the entire audio system for noise before permanently securing the Bass Driver mounting
1. Start the engine.
2. Turn the audio system on.
3. Rev the engine and vary the VOLUME of the audio system to determine if there is any unwanted noise.
If so, turn both the audio system and the engine off. Do not secure the Bass Driver mounting screws. Refer to the "Trouble Shooting Guide" at this manual.
4. If the audio system does not have any noise, securely tighten the Bass Driver mounting screw and double check the wiring cables for safe placement.
SYSTEM ADJUSTMENT
Preliminary Adjustments
Pre-setting the system provides a necessary starting point for fine-tuning the entire audio system to maximum performance.
NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT Bass Driver UNTIL THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED
1. Preset each amplifier input gain adjustment at the amplifier to half of maximum.
2. Slowly turn the volume up and listen carefully for: obvious trouble in sound (distortion, no sound, no hiss, total silence . Turn the system off refer to "Trouble Shooting
Guide" at this manual.
Caution
DO NOT ROUTE AUDIO CABLES AND POWER CABLES TOGETHER! THIS CAN CAUSE ENGINE NOISE IN YOUR AUDIO SYSTEM ALWAYS DISCONNECT
THE SYSTEM FROM THE BATTERY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE OR ALTER ANY CONNECTIONS THIS PRODUCT IS DESIRED FOR USE IN ANY
12 VOLTS NEGATIVE GROUND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ONLY INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT IN ANY POSITIVE GROUND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COULD
SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE AUDIO SYSTEM
Adjusting The Bass Driver
The Bass Driver provides variable enhancement of bass frequencies. The level of peak boost varies from 0 to +12dB and the frequency at which peak boost occurs is adjustable
from 40Hz to 400Hz. 20-Q to 2-Q boost characteristic can be adjustable.
2-Q characteristic boosts a wide range of frequencies and is useful for general sound quality enhancement. The 20-Q characteristic boosts a narrow range of frequencies
and can be used to tune a subwoofer system fo rmaximum output.
The Bass Driver Q adjustable should be set to the 2-Q(wide position and the frequency control set approximately one octave below the subwoofer's resonant frequency.
In vented enclosures, the roll off of the system is quite steep below the tuning frequency (typically 24dB/octave . In this case, the bass driver should be set for 20-Q(narrow
operation. Never set the Bass Driver boost frequency below a vented enclosuer's turning frequency. For maximum output from a vented enclosure, set the Bass Driver boost
frequency to the tuning frequency of the enclosure. These adjustments can be made with the Bass Driver in the signal path, but make sure the effect is turned off (remote
level Min. then verify operation of the Bass Driver by increasing the boost level while listening for changes in subwoofer response.
Once operation of the Bass Driver is confirmed, adjustment can proceed.
