MOUNTING BASSLINK T (CONTINUED)

POWER CONNECTIONS

ROUTING THE WIRES

All signal and power wires should be routed through the opening provided at the rear of the connection panel. On the rear of BasslinkT are two channels extending from the opening — one horizontal, and one vertical — that may be used for routing those wires to the vehicle.

Depending on installation requirements, all, or some, of the wires may be routed straight down along the vertical channel to the floor and hidden under the carpeting, and/or across the horizontal channel toward the side and hidden behind the vehicle’s trim panels.

Figure 5. Channels for wiring.

ADDITIONAL MOUNTING FEET

If your particular application inhibits the ability to secure the lower portion of BassLink T, please use the supplied mounting feet.They slide into the channels on the bottom of the unit and snap in place.This will give you the ability to secure BassLink T to the floor of your vehicle.

Connect power to BassLink T, as shown in Figure 7. Also observe these installation tips:

•Use at least #10 AWG wire for the +BATT

(+12 Vdc) and GND (ground) connections. If needed, use at least a #20 AWG wire for the REM (remote) connection.

•Route all power wires through a grommet in the vehicle’s firewall. If a factory grommet is unavailable, install one.

•Connect a short GND wire from BassLink T to the nearest bare metal surface. For a good connection, scrape away paint from the metal surface and use a screw with a lock (star) washer.

•Install a fuse holder with a 25 A fuse within 18" of the battery’s positive (+) terminal (see Figure 7).

•The REM connection requires +5 to +12 Vdc signal to turn on BassLink T. Most head units with preamp outputs provide this remote voltage signal. For speaker-level applications, a remote connection is preferred but not required, since BassLink T’s AutoTurn-On feature will sense voltage on the speaker wires to automatically turn on BassLink T.

IMPORTANT: To enable BassLink T’s Auto Turn-On feature, set the AUTOTURN-ON switch to the AUTO position (see Figure 13 on page 7).
