INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION EXPERIENCE
Installation of Bass Habit amplifiers 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 AMPLIFIER MOUNTING LOCATIONS
Choose a mounting location in an area where the amplifier will not be damaged, and where the amplifier is not
covered up. Mount the amplifier so that it remains dry - never mount an amplifier outside the vehicle or in the
engine compartment. Amplifier cooling is essential for proper amplifier operation. If the amplifier is to be installed
in an enclosed space, make sure there is sufficient air circulation for the amplifier to cool itself. When mounting the
amplifier under a seat, ensure that it is clear of all moving parts and does not affect the seat functionality. Make
sure that the amplifier is mounted securely using nuts and bolts or the supplied mounting screws.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
NOTE! Proceed only if you are a qualified installer, otherwise let your dealer do it.
• Always wear protective eyewear 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 amplifier in the package until final installation, and always rest it upwards.
• Never use force when installing a amplifier.
• 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.

STEP 1) POWER CONNECTIONS
The Bass Habit Play Power amplifiers are capable of delivering extremely high power levels and require a heavy-
duty and reliable connection to the vehicle’s electrical system. To get the very best performance out of your Bass
Habit Play Power amplifier, carefully follow the instructions below:
GROUND CONNECTION (GND):
Connect the amplifiers Ground (GND) terminal to a solid point on the vehicles metal chassis, as close to the
amplifiers as possible. Scrape away any paint from this location; use a star-type lock washer to secure the connec-
tion. Minimal ground wire recommended size:
• PP600.1 G2: 4 awg/ 20mm²
• PP1000.1 G2: 4 awg/ 20mm²
POWER CONNECTION (+12V):
Connect a wire directly to the vehicles 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 fuse holder can be finalised.
Minimal power wire recommended size:
• PP600.1 G2: 4 awg/ 20mm²
• PP1000.1 G2: 4 awg/ 20mm²
REMOTE CONNECTION (REM):
Connect the amplifiers Remote (REM) terminal to the source unit Remote turn on lead using a minimum of
0.75mm²/18 gauge wire. If your source unit does not have a turn on connection, connect the amplifier (REM)
terminal through a power switch button which can provide a +12V signal.

POWER CONNECTIONS
STEP 2) SUBWOOFER CONNECTIONS
Subwoofer output connections should be made using a minimum of 16 awg / 1.25mm² wire. The terminal accepts
up to 8 awg/10mm². Minimum total allowed impedance load is 1 Ohm mono.

Bass Habit Play Power mono amplifiers are constructed to be used for subwoofers.
Input level control (GAIN):
GAIN control is seamless adjustable between 0.2V - 6V.
Tips for adjusting the GAIN control correctly:
- Initially turn the GAIN control to minimum (counter clockwise).
- On the source unit, increase the volume control to the 3/4 of maximum volume.
- Slowly increase the GAIN control until you hear slight distortion in the subwoofers.
- Then reduce the GAIN slightly until distortion is no longer heard.
Bass Boost control (BASS BOOST):
PP600.1 G2 adjustable between 0-18dB (@ 45Hz)
PP1000.1 G2 adjustable between 0-12dB and 30-80Hz
Please use the BASS BOOST knob with care, excessive use can damage you system!
LPF Crossover (LPF):
The low pass filter is seamless adjustable between 40Hz - 180Hz (PP1000.1 G2), 32-300Hz
(PP600.1 G2). When using a subwoofer, set the start frequency cut point at 60Hz and adjust
to your own preferences.
Subsonic Crossover:
The high pass filter is seamless adjustable between 15Hz-50Hz. The Subsonic filter can be
used for removing the deepest bass notes from the subwoofer, get a tighter and more
rhythmical sound.
Line Input:
Connect the line outputs from your source unit and connect to the Line L and R inputs.
Power status & Protection LED:
• POWER = Power LED lights up when the amplifier is turned on. Normally during the start-up
sequence the POWER and PROTECT lights will flash as a selft test procedure.
• PROTECT = Protect LED light flashing or solid. This light is an indicator of the protect mode
status, see the trouble shooting section of the manual for more information.
While listening to music, adjust the gain/crossover/subsonic/bass boost for the least perceived
distortion from the subwoofers, allowing them to reproduce as much bass as possible.

Bridge In/Output (BRIDGE IN/OUT)
Two separeate Bass Habit Play Power mono amplifier G2 (same model) can be linked to power
a minimum 2 Ohm subwoofer setup for increased power output. Follow these instructions
carefully, if not carried out correctly you may permanently damage your products.
The power cables on both amplifiers need to be of the same size and quality. Consult your
local Bass Habit dealer to make sure that you have the right size cables and fuses.
The settings on the main amplifier (AMP1 in the illustration) will be operational, the settings on
the linked amplifier (AMP2 in the illustration) will not.
Use a high quality RCA cable to connect the two amplifiers, the link connects from the BRIDGE
OUT on AMP1 to BRIDGE IN on AMP2.
Connect as the Illustration. Bridge the negative (-) speaker connectors on each amplifier and
connect AMP1negative speaker terminal to AMP2 negative speaker terminal.
Bridge the positive (+) speaker connector and connect the speaker cables to your subwoofer
setup. IMPORTANT: The minimum load is 2 Ohm, this only possible with two (2) Bass
Habit PP600.1 G2 or 1000.1 G2. Note: PP600.1 can NOT be linked with PP1000.1
