III. INSTALLATION AND WIRING
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the vehicle’s negative (–) battery
terminal before beginning the installation.
• Wear protective eyewear when using tools.
• Choose a safe mounting location. Check clearances on both
sides of the location. Be sure that screws will not puncture
brake or fuel lines or wiring harnesses, and that wire routing will
not interfere with vehicle operation. Use caution when drilling
or cutting.
• When making electrical connections, make sure they are
secure and properly insulated.
• Using the dock as a template, mark the locations of the holes
on the mounting surface.
• Drill pilot holes in the mounting surface.
• Attach the dock to the mounting surface with the included
sheet metal screws and washers.
A. Mounting the dock in the vehicle
Use the included sheet metal screws to secure the dock to the
mounting surface in the vehicle. Ensure that the included wire
is long enough to reach the desired mounting location before
securing the dock.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR
PURCHASE . . .
Your product has been designed to provide you the performance
and ease of operation you expect from JBL. Take time to read
this manual before operating or installing your BassPro Go. This
manual describes general installation guidelines and operation
instructions. Please note that proper installation of mobile audio
components requires qualified experience with mechanical and
electrical procedures. If you do not have the knowledge and tools
to perform this installation, we strongly recommend consulting an
authorized JBL dealer about your installation options.
I. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
JBL BassPro Go is a powered subwoofer designed to easily
mount and charge in any vehicle. It acts as a subwoofer or a
full-range speaker in the vehicle; and, with its quick-disconnect
feature, becomes a portable Bluetooth speaker. It features easy-
to-use controls and a convenient safety cover to help protect the
speaker when used out of the vehicle, and to provide an IPx5
marine rating.

B. Mounting the speaker in the dock
1. Pull the handle out.
Pull
2. Rest one corner of the speaker on the dock at a slight angle to
get the speaker seated.
3. Rotate the speaker until it is completely in place in the dock.
4. Release the handle to finish securing in place.
NOTE: It will be easiest to connect the wire harness before mounting
the speaker in the dock.
C. Power and Ground Connections in the
vehicle
18" (46cm)
Chassis ground (–)
Remote turn-on (blue)
to stereo REM out
Battery
Fuse holder, 20A fuse
i. Power: Connect the red +12V power wire in the wire harness
to the positive terminal of the vehicle battery. Install a 20A fuse
and fuse holder within 18" (457mm) of the battery.
ii. Ground: Connect the black GND wire in the wire harness to
bare metal of the vehicle’s chassis, such as at a seat belt bolt.
NOTE: If possible, remove any paint from the chassis for best contact.
It is recommended to use a star washer below the ring connector for a
secure connection.
iii. Remote-In: Connect the blue remote turn-on wire in the wire
harness to the “Remote Out” lead of the source unit, if using
low-level signal inputs.
NOTE: 12V ACC turn-on is the preferred method. If you are using
high-level signal inputs (vehicle speaker wires), you can choose to have
the DC offset feature or the audio-sensing feature turn the amplifier on.
You will not have to connect the remote turn-on wire and can terminate
the connection.
D. Power/Protect indicators when connected to
the vehicle
The power button on the control panel indicates the
speaker’s modes of operation.
Illumination color Mode of operation
White Subwoofer mode (in vehicle only)
Green Full-range mode
Red
Protect mode (over/under voltage/short
circuit/amplifier circuit failure/excessive
heat)
Yellow Settings mode
E. Signal input in the vehicle
Line-level inputs: If your source unit offers preamp outputs,
connect them to the RCA inputs in the wire harness. Use front
or rear preamp outputs for full-range operation, or subwoofer
preamp outputs (if available) for subwoofer mode.
12V DC AUDIO
2V 4V 6V
Note: When using low-level signals and remote turn-on lead, set the
“Auto Turn-on” switch to “12V,” and set the speaker’s input level to “LO”
in the settings menu (see “setting the input level”). Set the “Auto-on”
switch to 2V, 4V, or 6V, whichever most closely matches the voltage of
your source unit’s preamp outputs.
High-level inputs: If your source unit does not have line-level
outputs, use the supplied high-level input adapters to connect to
the speaker output wires of your source unit to the RCA inputs in
the wire harness.
Loosen

Insert

Tighten
Screws
12V DC AUDIO
NOTE: When using high-level signals, set the “Auto Turn-on” switch to
“DC” (to turn on when it receives battery power) or “AUDIO” (to turn on
when it senses audio signal). Set the input level to “HI1” in the settings
menu (see “setting the input level”). If no sound plays, change the input
level to “HI2”.
F. Connecting the remote bass control in the
vehicle
Plug the remote bass controller into the appropriate input in the
wire harness. Mount the remote in a convenient location, such as
under the dash, using sheet metal screws.
Turn the dial clockwise to increase the bass output, and
counterclockwise to decrease the bass output.
NOTE: Remote bass control will only operate in subwoofer mode.

B. Setting the input level
When the BassPro Go is docked in your vehicle, you will need
to set the input level to accept the type of signal it receives from
your source unit. Select level options by pressing the “+” and “–”
buttons.
Signal from source unit LED configuration
LO (low-level preamp outputs)
HI1 (high-level speaker outputs)
HI2 (high-level speaker outputs

C. Setting the low-pass crossover in subwoofer
mode
The crossover allows only frequencies below a certain point to
reach the speaker in woofer mode. The crossover point you
choose depends on your musical preferences.
Crossover point LED configuration
80Hz
100Hz
120Hz
D. Setting the gain
When the BassPro Go is docked in your vehicle, you will need to
match the gain (input sensitivity) to output of the signal it receives
from your source unit. To set the gain:
1. Start with gain control switch set to 2V.
2. Choose music with substantial bass content and turn the
volume control on your receiver to 75% of its total output.
3. Increase the gain one step at a time by pressing the “+”
button, listening carefully to the bass output, as the LED read
out displays each step. To increase the interval of the gain you
are adjusting, move the gain control switch to 2V, 4V, or 6V as
necessary. If you hear distortion, lower the gain one step at a
time by pressing the “–” button until the distortion disappears.

VII.TROUBLESHOOTING
No audio and POWER INDICATOR is off
• No voltage at BATT+ and/or REM terminals, or bad or no
ground connection. Check voltages at amplifier terminals with
VOM.
No audio and PROTECT INDICATOR is on
• Check to see if the input voltage is less than 9V or greater than
16V on BATT+ connection and vehicle charging system.
In-line fuse keeps breaking
• The wiring is connected incorrectly or there is a short circuit.
Review installation precautions and procedures. Check wiring
connections.
Distorted audio
• Gain is not set properly. Check and adjust settings. Speaker or
source unit may be defective.
Unwanted noise in the audio signal
• Radiated vehicle noise in the line-level input cables. Make sure
power wire and signal wires are not near each other (run them
down opposite sides of the vehicle).
Music lacks dynamics or "punch"
• Use 0°/180° phase adjustment.
Loudness or audio performance varies with Bluetooth
• Loudness and volume will vary between phones. If you feel
that the product is not loud enough, check your phone settings
to see if any adjustments can be made to improve audio
performance, or try using a different audio source or Bluetooth
streaming device to determine if performance improves.
Audio play/pause, track forward or track back are slow
to respond in Bluetooth mode
• This will vary by phone or Bluetooth streaming device. Try using
a different Bluetooth streaming device to see if this improves.
If the problem persists, cycle the power off and let the speaker
rest for a few minutes before turning power on.
Audio track is cutoff in first few seconds when using
track forward or track back
• This will vary by phone and the capability of the phone to
communicate with Bluetooth control from an external device.
Try using a different Bluetooth streaming device to see if this
improves.
