Introduction
With the BASS800, we are introducing a rugged enclosed powered subwoofer. Great looking and capable of slamming out powerful bass, this system offers you a quick and easy way to add a high-powered subwoofer system to your audio system.
The integrated amplifier in the BASS800 features a low pass crossover, and a control for adjusting the input sensitivity from 0.2V to 6V.
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.

SHOCK HAZARD! Do not open the case of this product. There are dangerous voltages present within the unit. There are no user-serviceable parts within the unit.
Protection Circuitry
The built-in amplifier incorporates special protection circuitry which will disable the amplifier if any of the following should occur:
•Input overload
•Short circuit
•Extremely high temperatures
If any of these conditions is detected, the amplifier will go into a selfpreservation mode, and the PROTECT LED on the control panel will glow in RED color.
What should I do if the POWER STATUS LED turns RED?
If you observe that the POWER STATUS LED IS RED, please check the system carefully to determine what has caused the protection circuit to engage.
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 again.
