SHOCK HAZARD! [. . . ] Never operate the subwoofer when it is unmounted. Attach all audio system components securely within the amplifier to prevent damage, especially in an accident. Do not mount this product so that wire connections are unprotected, in a pinched condition, in contact with any metal surfaces in your vehicle, or likely to be damaged by nearby objects. Before making or breaking power connections in your system, disconnect the vehicle battery. Confirm that your head unit or other equipment is turned off while connecting the input jacks and speaker terminals. If you need to replace the power fuse, replace it only with a fuse identical to that supplied with the product. Using a fuse of a different type or rating may result in damage to your audio system or your amplifier which is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Fuses Power fuses protect both the amplifier and the electrical system of your car from fault conditions. If you must replace a fuse in your BV-VSRF powered subwoofer, use a fuse of exactly the same type and rating. Using a different type or rating of fuse may result in damage to your amp or vehicle or cause a fire. BV-VSRF Amplified Subwoofer User's Manual - page 4 Mounting the subwoofer 1. Find a suitable location in the vehicle in which to mount the amplifier. A typical location is shown below: Vehicle seat Connecting the subwoofer Before doing any wiring, look through this manual and identify the diagrams to follow for power, input and speaker connections for your particular installation.

Leave the control at this setting. 7 AUTO TURN-ON SWITCH Placing this switch in the ON position will cause the BV-VSRF to turn on as soon as you turn on the head unit in your car. If you wish to turn it on manually, leave this switch in the OFF position. 8 POWER STATUS LED This bi-color LED glows green when power is on and no problems are present. If one of the protection circuits comes on, it will change to red. 3 SUBSONIC FILTER Use this control to filter out low frequency noise and rumble. 4 BASS BOOST The bass boost feature will increase the sound level in the bass frequencies. 5 LOW PASS FILTER This control permits you define the frequency range you want the subwoofer amplifier to receive. The subwoofer will reproduce all sound BELOW the frequency you set. If the rest of your system is weak on the mids, you may wish to set this control relatively high. [. . . ] If the RCA outputs are not present, connect the speaker outputs from the receiver to the high level input connector of the amplifier. Be sure to observe polarity to avoid audio phase problems. NOTE: Do not connect BOTH the high level and low level inputs from your receiver to your amplifier at the same time!
