JBL BassProTM II - Manual (Page 4)

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.
