Summary of Contents for Bazooka EL1500
- Page 2 Dear customer, Congratulations on your purchase of a Bazooka EL high-performance amplifier. At Bazooka, we are fanatics about accurate music reproduction. Your selection of our products for your sound system indicates that quality sound is also important to you too. At SAS, we take great pride in manufacturing revolutionary audio products, and through the years of engineering expertise, hand craftsmanship and critical testing procedures, we have created the EL high-performance series of amplifiers.
- Page 3 Be sure to fuse the power wire within 12” of the car's battery. This will protect the car's battery in case of a short circuit between the power amplifier and battery. THIS IS A MUST, the amplifier's built-in fuse will only protect the power amplifier not the car's battery! To ensure maximum power transfer and secure safe connections, it is recommended to use high grade barrier spades (for connection at amplifier) and terminal rings...
- Page 4 (60Hz ~ 400Hz) for precise high or low pass filtering. **Except EL1500 which has a 40 ~ 120Hz low pass filter. The “EL”amplifiers include a auxiliary output for a daisy chain connection of an EL Bazookad Amplified Bass Tube.
- Page 5 For added low frequency performance the amplifiers are equipped with a variable 0~12 dB bass boost @ 45Hz. One set of full range line outputs have been provided for convenient connection to additional amplifiers in the system. This protects the amplifier against short circuits and excessive current. Automatically turns amplifier on when connected to the head unit's remote output.
- Page 6 Before you start the installation, it will be necessary to find a mounting location for the amplifier. Find a location in which the amplifier will receive adequate ventilation in order to dissipate the heat it develops during operation. Two popular mounting locations are in the trunk or under the seat.

Before making any connections, disconnect the car’s battery until the installation is completed to avoid possible damage to the electrical system. At times, the amplifier will need to draw large levels of current that cannot be provided by any circuit in the car's fuse box.

- Page 9 High Level inputs have been included to connect the amplifier to a radio without low-level outputs (i.e. factory radio). This connection will allow you to connect directly to the speaker output of the radio with out the need of an external adapter. Determine the type of radio you have and make one of the following connections.

- Page 12 The EL amplifiers are capable of being bridged in a mono configuration. This feature allows you the flexibility of using the amplifier to drive a ** subwoofer or a center channel. In this configuration the amplifier sums the right and left channel to deliver one channel (mono) output.
- Page 13 The amplifier is capable of running in a Mono / Stereo mode. This feature gives the amplifier the ability to run stereo satellites (midbass & tweeter) simultaneously with a mono subwoofer. These connections are more complicated because they require the use of passive crossover networks (Not provided) to divide the frequencies to the speakers.
- Page 14 Before connecting the remote, it will be necessary to find a mounting location that will be easy to access for adjustment. Once you select your mounting location, you will need to run the control wire from the remote to the amplifier. To avoid possibility of induced noise from the car's electrical system (i.e.
- Page 15 (Please note: If you intend to use the amplifier in the Tri-mode configuration, it is necessary to set the crossover control to the “FLAT” setting in order to receive full range output) The “EL” amplifiers are equipped with a built-in variable crossover network allowing you to select the crossover type (i.e.
- Page 16 We have put together this trouble-shooting guide if you experience problems after installing the amplifier. Please keep in mind that the majority of problems incurred are caused by improper installation and not the equipment itself. In addition, there are many components in the system that could cause various signal problems such as inducted electrical noise and engine noise.
