common sense when adjusting the crossover. When properly adjusted, the bass from the BTA-8
should blend in with the rest of your speakers and not overpower the music. Be sure to set the tone
controls of your radio (source unit) to flat while dialing in the crossover. (Fig 7)
Bass EQ Adjustment
This special feature is designed to provide you with more powerful sound quality and it allows you
to increase the Bass up to +18dB. Keep in mind that more is not always better. Adjusting the
control to the MAX (18dB) position will stress the amplifier and the woofer which could result in
damage. (Fig 8)
NOTE:
Although this adjustment sequence will in most cases provide the best tuning results, the
actual process may include several readjustments of each of the controls since their settings
interact with each other. If necessary, consult your Authorized PowerBass dealer for help tuning
your system.
Remote Gain Controller
Your PowerBass BTA-8 includes a wired Remote Subwoofer Gain control module. It uses standard
telephone wire and telephone RJ45 connectors. To connect the Remote Subwoofer Gain control
to the amplified enclosure, simply insert one end of the telephone plug into the REMOTE gain port.
Plug the other end into the back of the remote module. Mount the module within easy reach or
under your dash. (Fig 9)
Break In Period
To get the most from your woofer we recommend a "break-in" period of at least 40 hours (typically
2 weeks) at no more than 1/3 of maximum volume.
During this time the cone and spider assembly will gradually break in resulting in greater performance
and more listening enjoyment.
