BlackDB1.1
Technical Data 1
Firstly, thank you for your purchase. Every element of this product has been optimized
to give you the best possible performance for your money. We think that Bass Face
represents the highest quality to price ratio available on the market today.
Please take the time to read these instructions carefully. You will need to follow them to
have a successful install and get the most from the product.
Do remember that incorrect installation or abuse is NOT covered under warranty – it is
YOUR responsibility to make sure that your installation and partnered product is suitable
and compatible.
Before you even get the amplifier out of the box (realistically, you will have done this
already and boy it looks sweet doesn't it!) you will need to install a suitable wiring kit in
your vehicle. We recommend the use of a 4AWG wiring kit with appropriate termination for
maximum performance, especially if you will be running the amplifier at 1 ohm impedance.
If you are planning to run multiple amplifiers you will need to up the gauge of the wiring
accordingly. Do bear in mind that many manufacturers offer wiring kits that actually come
up smaller in true wire gauge than advertised.
To begin, disconnect the car battery, taking note of any required precautions suggested
by the vehicle manufacturer such as alarm or radio codes, or on board computer or AGM
battery requirements.
You need to find a suitable point on the firewall (bulkhead) to run the power wire through.

Summary of Contents for Bass Face BlackDB1.1
- Page 1 Firstly, thank you for your purchase. Every element of this product has been optimized to give you the best possible performance for your money. We think that Bass Face represents the highest quality to price ratio available on the market today.
- Page 2 You are now ready to connect your subwoofers! The BLACKDB1.1 has 2 sets of positive and negative connectors, this is for ease of connecting multiple speakers and bridges inside the amplifier (they are not separate outputs) Take care that the positive on the speaker is going to the positive on the amplifier.
- Page 3 8, 10 or 12 or 15 inch subwoofer of an appropriately matched construction and in a nicely designed enclosure will be fine run off a BLACKDB1.1 amp at 2 ohms or 1 ohms in the case of the pair (assuming proper setup) but you don’t want to try and run eight massive heavy coned dual voice coil monster woofers off it, even though on paper you might well have a 1 Ohm load.
- Page 4 Time to lay on some power. Connect the earth first. Then 12V power, then remote. Then connect in the RCA cables and you can move onto setting up the gain and sound controls on the amplifier (the fun bit!) Setting the “Gain” or “level” on the amp is a crucial aspect and needs to be done with care, otherwise you can easily damage your equipment.
- Page 5 Now it is time to disconnect all other subwoofers or speakers so that you can hear only the woofer powered by this amplifier. Next, turn the level on the amp all the way down. Choose some music that you’re not particularly keen on that has a good range of bass, treble and vocals (helps not to get lost in the music whilst you work on the system.) Then go to your head unit and gradually turn up the volume until you begin to hear slight distortion from the subwoofer.
- Page 6 increase the setting. But it is your responsibility to listen for “dynamic compression” (where you are turning the system up on the knob and yet the actual volume is not increasing) since this is an indicator that the limits of the power available have been reached and over- reached! We hope that these instructions have been helpful and that the information will help you to build a well balanced and stable system that will provide years of listening pleasure.
