INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION EXPERIENCE
Installation of Bass Habit subwoofer may require experience with a variety of mechanical procedures including
enclosure construction. 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 SUBWOOFER MOUNTING LOCATIONS
Choosing the correct subwoofer mounting location will have the greatest effect of the sound quality of the
system. There are many different considerations needed when choosing the location(s) that best meet your
needs. The location(s) must be large enough for the subwoofer to fit. Care is needed to ensure that the desired
location will not affect either the mechanical or electrical operation of the vehicle.
WARNING! Applying silicone rubber to seal soft parts in the subwoofer will void the warranty. If any sealing is
needed in addition to the subwoofer’s gasket, use caulking cord or vinyl weather strip.
PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
NOTE! The tools listed below may be required for basic installation:
• An electric drill with bits.
• Saber and jig saw.
• Phillips-head and standard screwdrivers.
• Wire strippers.
• Crimping tool and needle-nose pliers.
• Closed cell weather-stripping (for the subwoofer), Silicone sealant (for enclosure).
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 subwoofer in the package until final installation, and always rest it with the cone facing up.
• Never use force when installing a subwoofer.
• Locate all fuel lines, brake lines, oil lines and electrical cables when planning your installation.
The mounting surface must be flat

INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLING THE SUBWOOFER
1) Determine where the subwoofer will be mounted. Make sure there is a flat area large enough for the
subwoofer to fit properly. An uneven mounting surface can damage the driver.
2) Check to make sure the space you have selected for the subwoofer will not interfere with vehicle operation.
3) If a template is included in the packaging, use the template and mark the hole with a pen.
4) Cut the hole for the subwoofer. A hole can be cut either with a pair of metal tin snips, a saber or jig saw.
5) Run speaker wire (not included) to the subwoofer. Make sure to keep wires away from sharp metal or other
rough edges. When passing through metal, use a insulating grommet to protect the wires from damage.
6) Pre drill the mounting holes using a 1/8” (3mm) drill bit.
7) Pull the wire through the subwoofer opening and connect the subwoofer. Be sure to observe proper polarity.
8) Mount the subwoofer using good quality screws.
