Phase Alert

When one of the Amplified Bazooka's High-level Input channels is out of phase elec- trically with the other High-level Input channel your Bazooka will sound as if it has lit- tle or no output, and any output that is produced may sound distorted. If you suspect that your Bazooka is out of phase, use the AM I IN PHASE procedure to diagnose and correct the Bazookas' output, and proper bass response will be produced.

AM I IN PHASE?

If your inputs are out of phase and you turn the balance control of your radio all the way to one side, right or left, the bass output from the Bazooka will increase. When you bring the balance control back to the center position the bass level will drop. This confirms that one of your input channels is wired out of phase with the other. To correct this situation, simply reverse the connections on one of the two input chan- nels. When the wiring is in correct electrical phase, the level of bass output will be greatest when the balance control of the radio is set to the center position.

LOW-LEVEL INPUT:

If your source unit only has low-level RCA phono jack output, use only the low-level inputs of the Amplified Bazooka.

Connect the low-level RCA phono jack inputs of the Amplified Bazooka to the source with a shielded RCA patch cord. To avoid possible noise problems, be sure to run the patch cord away from all power wires and factory wire harnesses.

When using the low-level inputs DO NOT make any connections to the Green and Gray high-level input wires of the Amplified Bazooka and make sure these wires are insulated to avoid the possibility of a short circuit.
