PRE INSTALLATION
WARNING: Playing loud music in a vehicle can hinder your ability to hear traffic and perma-
nently damage your hearing. We recommend listening at low or moderate levels while driving.
BASS HABIT accepts no liability for hearing loss, bodily injury or property damage resulting
from the use/misuse of this product.
To get the very best performance from your BASS HABIT SPL Elite amplifier, we recommend
that installation be intrusted to a qualified installer. Although these instructions explain how to
install BASS HABIT Play amplifiers in general, they do not show specific installation methods
that may be required for your particular vehicle. If you do not have the necessary tools or
experience, do not attempt the installations yourself. If any uncertainty please ask your car
audio dealer about an professional installation.
ADVICE AND TIPS
Turn off the audio system and other electronic devices before you start.
Disconnect the negative (-) lead from your vehicle’s battery.
Check clearances on both sides of a planned mounting surface before drilling any holes or
installing any screws. Remember that the screws can extend behind the surface.
At the installation sites, locate and take note of all fuel lines, hydraulic brake lines, vacuum lines
and electrical wiring. Use extreme caution when cutting or drilling in and around these areas.
Before drilling or cutting any holes, use a utility knife to remove unwanted fabric or vinyl to
keep material from snagging in a drill bit.
When routing cables, keep input-signal cables away from power cables and speaker wires.
When making connections, make certain they are secure and properly insulated.
Choose a mounting location in an area where the amplifier will not be damaged.
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 circu-
lation 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.
Mount the amplifier so that it remains dry - never mount an amplifier outside the vehicle or in
the engine compartment.

POWER/SPEAKER CONNECTION (FIG 1 & FIG 2)
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 connection.
Ground wire minimum size:
SE600.1DF min. 4 awg/ 20mm2
SE1000.1DF min. 4 awg/ 20mm2
SE2000.1DF min. 2 awg/ 35mm2
SE3000.1DF min. 0 awg/ 50mm2
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.
+12V wire minimum size:
SE600.1DF min. 4 awg/ 20mm2
SE1000.1DF min. 4 awg/ 20mm2
SE2000.1DF min. 2 awg/ 35mm2
SE3000.1DF min. 0 awg/ 50mm2
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.
Speaker connections (SPEAKER OUTPUT):
Speaker connections should be made using a minimum of 1,25 mm2/16 gauge wire.
Minimum total allowed impedance load is 1 ohm.
The Bass Habit SPL Elite 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 SPL Elite amplifier, carefully follow the instructions

FRONT PANEL (FIG 3)
Bass Habit SPL Elite are Class D amplifiers and can be used for speakers and subwoofers in
the range between 15Hz - 20KHz. LOW/HIGH and LOW+HIGH crossover mode can be used
simultaneously.
While listening to music, adjust the gain/crossover/subsonic/bass boost for the least per-
ceived distortion from the speakers, allowing them to reproduce as much bass as possible.
Line Input
Connect the line outputs from your source unit and connect them to the Line L and R inputs.
Line Output
Bass Habit SPL Elite 1-channel amplifiers are equipped with full-range output that can be used
to connect additional amplifiers.
Input level control (GAIN):
GAIN control is a seamless adjustable between 0,2V- 6 V.
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 speaker/speakers.
- Then reduce the GAIN slightly until distortion is no longer heard.
Bass Boost control (BASS BOOST):
Bass Boost is seamless adjustable between 0-12 db (35Hz - 70 Hz)
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 80Hz - 20KHz. When using a subwoofer,
set the frequency cut point at 80Hz and adjust to your own preferences.
HPF Crossover (HPF):
The high pass filter is seamless adjustable between 15Hz–80Hz for the models SE1000.1/
SE2000.1/SE3000.1 and 15Hz - 1KHz for the model SE600.1. The HPF can be used for re-
moving the deepest bass notes from the subwoofer, get a tighter and more rhythmical
sound. For a normal setup the HPF should be adjusted to the “15 Hz” setting. If using full
range speakers, set the crossover knob to HIGH (high pass), Adjust the crossover frequency
to limit bass and lower distortion.
Remote Level Control (REMOTE)
Included with the Bass Habit SPL Elite 1-channel amplifiers is a subwoofer remote volume
control. This allows you to adjust the level from your listening position. Install the controller
at a convenient position close to the driver seat, and connect it to the REMOTE jack on the
amplifier.
