INSTALLATION
(continued)
1. Connecting the Subwoofer to the Amplifier
CAUTION: Only make connections when the amplifier is turned off.
There are 2 output terminals on the back of the amplifier, one positive and one negative. These 3-way binding post output
terminals allow for a variety of ways to connect your subwoofer wiring to the amplifier, including stripped wire, spade con-
nectors, etc. You MUST use a minimum of 14 gauge speaker wire. Be sure all connections are solid.
2. Connecting the Audio Inputs
CAUTION:
To avoid possible damage to the amplifier or subwoofer, only make connections when the amplifier is
turned off.
• LFE (Low Frequency Effects) Input - If your preamplifier or receiver has a Sub Out or LFE out, you can connect it to the
LFE input. Be aware that using the LFE input bypasses the amplifier’s adjustable low frequency (low pass) crossover.
• Line Level Inputs (Left & Right) - The line outputs from a preamplifier or receiver can be connected to the line level
inputs of the Bass Power with RCA cables. If the line level signal is also required by other equipment, you can con-
nect the line level outs to another device. (See the Line Level Outputs section below.)
• Speaker Level Inputs (Left & Right) - These inputs can be used if your receiver does not have a subwoofer output or a
set of line output jacks. Being sure to observe proper polarity, connect the left and right pair of main speaker output
wires from your amplifier or receiver to the speaker level input terminals of the Bass Power amplifier. Then connect
a left and right pair of speaker wires from the Bass Power speaker level output to your main speaker terminals. (See
Speaker Level Outputs section below)
3. Connecting the Audio Outputs (optional)
• Line Level Outputs (Left & Right) - Sources connected to the line level inputs can be forwarded to other receivers or
amplifiers line level inputs. By doing this you can pass-on the audio signal for use by another component. Connect
RCA cables to the line level output sections of the Bass Power and the Line level inputs of a receiver or amplifier.
• Speaker Level Outputs (Left & Right) - Connect a left and right pair of speaker wires from the Bass Power speaker
output terminals to your main speakers. The main speakers will still be powered by your system's receiver or amplifier.
4. Dual Voltage Switch (See Diagram 2)
For use in the U.S., the Bass Power comes preset from the factory at 115V. For use in other countries, the voltage switch
may need to be changed to 230V. (Please note that a plug adapter or alternate power cord may be required.)
5. Connecting the AC Power
Plug the socket of the supplied AC cord into the receptacle on the rear of the amplifier. Plug the 3-prong plug directly
into a wall outlet. If you wish to plug the amplifier into a preamplifier or receiver’s switched outlet, make sure
it is rated at least 600 watts. However, it is always safer to plug the Bass Power directly into an AC outlet.
