POWER CONNECTIONS

Connecting power to BassPro II is shown in Figure 7. Please observe the following installation tips:

When using the high-level input con- nections, BassPro II will automatically turn on when you turn on your radio.

In this case, the remote (REM) con- nection is not needed. Use at least #20 AWG speaker wire for speaker-level input connections.

Use at least #12 AWG wire for the Positive Battery (BATT +12) and Ground () connections. If needed, use at least #20 AWG wire for the remote (REM) turn-on connection.

Connect BassPro II’s “BATT +12V” terminal directly to the battery’s posi- tive (+) terminal. Install a fuse holder, with a 20A fuse, within 18" of the bat- tery’s positive (+) terminal.

Route all power wires through a grom- met in the vehicle’s firewall. If a factory grommet is not available, install one.

Connect a short ground wire from BassPro II’s ground terminal () to the nearest bare metal surface. For a good connection, use sandpaper to clear paint from the metal surface and use a screw with a lock (star) washer.

The remote (REM) connection requires a +5 to +12 Vdc signal for BassPro II to turn on when using the line-level connections. Most head units with preamp outputs provide this remote voltage signal. As an alternative, connect this terminal to a switched ignition circuit.
