Thank you for choosing Bassface. From the simplest connector to our top of the range
amplifier - every element of these products has been designed to give you the best possible
performance for your money. Please take the time to read these instructions carefully as
they contain useful and important information. Modern high power audio systems can
generate voltages at the speaker similar to mains operated equipment – for some reason
everyone seems to ignore or forget this. Your wiring needs to be good to be safe. Please
remember this and take your time. Please exercise caution when setting volume levels –
powerful audio equipment can easily produce enough sound to permanently damage
hearing. Remember that audio competitors use ear protection when operating and
competing. Do remember that incorrect installation or abuse is not covered under warranty
– please make sure that your installation and any partnered product is suitable and
compatible. If you are unsure please seek qualified advice before proceeding. Always use
appropriate hand and eye protection when working with tools, and always work within your
capabilties as an installer. We offer a 12 month manufacturer warranty via your distributor
or retailer. Please retain your purchase receipt as proof of purchase. Please note that
Bassface operates a policy of continuous product development and we reserve the right to
change specification without prior notice. You can follow our process on our website by
reviewing the version history information.
Please note that we sometimes include information inside these manuals which we feel is of
potential value to the client on related subjects such as conversion charts, capacitance
values or wiring diagrams. Please feel free to copy any of this information since it is in the
public domain.
DB1.6 and will most likely not fit other iterations of the product.
The first step when installing an amplifier is to lubricate the terminals. The reason for this is
that sometimes, the plating applied to the screws can rub off slightly in the threads,
causing binding. This can then result in damaged threads and/or rounded screw heads. We
recommend the use of a medium thickness general purpose oil. In the UK there is a product
known as "3 in 1" oil which we like to use in the workshop, but any reasonably thick,
decently penetrating oil will work. We do not recommend the use of spray lubricants for this
job because they are too thin, wont penetrate the threads and can contaminate the
cosmetic surface of the product. Also, whilst it might sound like a simple and obvious thing
to say, please make sure that you use the correct allen key or screwdriver when operating
the amp terminals. The screws are made from relatively soft material, and can very easily
become rounded and damaged over time. We see this ALL the time in our repair centre, so
we KNOW that some of you don't read these manuals! Thanks for being one of the careful
ones.
Once your power cable, RCA and remote lead are all securely running through the car to
where you want the amp and the earth wire is fastened securely, somewhere close to the
amp, you can fit the amplifier. If applicable don’t forget to fit the amplifier remote control
wire and any speaker wires running forwards at the same time.
The amp should be mounted on a solid surface such as a boot floor. Wherever you do
choose to mount the amp, it needs sufficient ventilation; 2-3” around will be enough. We do
