Should I Use High or Low Level Inputs?
If the source unit has only speaker outputs, use the high-level inputs of the
Amplified Bazooka. If the source unit has both high and low level outputs, we
recommend using the high level inputs over the low level inputs, due to the con-
figuration of the Amplified Bazooka's balanced input circuit. PLEASE NOTE
THAT THE WIRING IN A FACTORY STEREO MAY NOT BE ELECTRICALLY IN
PHASE EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE MADE THE PROPER CONNECTIONS.
Take the time after you make your wire connections to run through the quick
phase check procedure in the AM I IN PHASE? Section of this manual. NEVER
USE BOTH high and low-level inputs at the same time!
High-Level Inputs:
If the source unit has both front and rear speaker outputs, use only one set of speak-
er outputs for the high-level input of the Amplified Bazooka. Connect the GREEN
wire from the 14-pin Molex plug of the Amplified Bazooka to the source units left
(+) positive speaker output. Connect the GREEN W /BLACK stripe wire of the plug
to the source units left (-) negative speaker output. Connect the GRAY wire of the
plug to the source units right (+) positive speaker output. Connect the GRAY
W /BLACK stripe wire of the plug to the source units right (-) negative speaker output.
When one of the Amplified Bazooka's High-level Input channels is out of
phase electrically with the other High-level Input channel your Bazooka will
sound as if it has little or no output, and any output that is produced may
sound distorted. . If you suspect that your Bazooka is out of phase, use the
AM I IN PHASE procedure to diagnose and correct the Bazookas' output,
and proper bass response will be produced.
Am I In Phase?
If your inputs are out of phase and you turn the balance control of your
radio all the way to one side, right or left, the bass output from the
Bazooka will increase. When you bring the balance control back to the
center position the bass level will drop. This confirms that one of your input
