Introduction

With the BPS80, we are introducing

a low profile amplified subwoofer, low

enough to easily fit below the seat of

your car. This system offers you a

quick and easy way to add a high-

powered subwoofer system to your

audio system.

The integrated amplifier in BPS80

features a low pass crossover and

a subsonic filter, as well as a control

for adjusting the input sensitivity from

0.1V to 1V.

Both high level (speaker level) and

low level (RCA) type inputs are

present, making this a universal

solution for use with any head unit

or other input source.

For further flexibility in the use of a

subwoofer, a variable bass boost

control has been included. you can

control the subwoofer level with the

remote level control module.

What is included?

When first unpacking your new

amplified subwoofer, please check

first that the package contains all

of the items below. If something is

The built-in amplifier incorporates

special protection circuitry which will

disable the amplifier if any of the

following should occur:

LED IS RED, please check the system

To reset the amplified subwoofer when

it is in PROTECT mode, turn the power

off to the system (usually by turning off

the head unit or other signal source

which feeds the amplifier) and then turn

it on again.

If the internal amplifier has shut down

due to thermal overload, you should first

allow it to cool down before restarting.

If the shut down was due to either an

input overload or a short circuit, be sure

to correct these conditions before

attempting to power up the subwoofer

Before you drill or cut any holes, 1. Find a suitable location in the vehicle

in which to mount the amplifier. A

typical location is shown below:

If you need to replace the power fuse,

replace it only with a fuse identical to

that supplied with the product. Using

a fuse of a different type or rating may

result in damage to your audio system

or your amplifier which is not covered

by the manufacturer’s warranty.

Power fuses protect both the amplifier

and the electrical system of your car

from fault conditions. If you must
