PRACTICE SAFE LISTENING  
Continuous exposure to high volumes of sound may cause permanent hear-  
ing loss. High powered auto sound systems are capable of producing  
sounds well over 130 dB. Even short periods of play at high volume levels  
can impair your ability to hear necessary traffic sounds and may constitute  
a hazard. Please use common sense and practice SAFE LISTENING !

INSTALLATION  
Please take time to read through this manual and plan out your installation  
before you begin!  
Locate an area in the rear of the vehicle where you would like to place the  
Bazooka speaker systems. The location you have selected must meet the follow-  
ing requirements in order for the Bazooka to be properly installed in the vehicle:  
1) The woofer (grill end) should be facing  
into a corner. (See figures 1, 2 and 3)  
2) Ideally, there should be 2 to 4 inches  
between the woofer and the corner it is  
pointing into.  
3) The mounting area should be carefully  
checked to be sure that the mounting  
screws will not damage the gas tank,  
electricalwiring,fuellines,orthesparetire  
during the mounting of the strap bases.  
4) The strap mounting bases should be  
screwed securely to a rigid surface that is  
part of, or anchored to, the structure of  
the vehicle.  
Be sure that your application meets all of these requirements before you  
continue the installation procedure!

WIRING DIAGRAM  
When using high level inputs, take the time after you make all wiring con-  
nections to run through the AM I IN PHASE procedure of this manual to  
confirm that your inputs are in correct electrical phase and the proper bass  
response is being produced.

POWER WIRE  
The 16 ga uge red wire on the 14-pin Molex Mini-fit Jr. connector is the  
12 Volt positive power wire. It must be fused a nd connected directly to  
the positive termina l of the ba ttery to provide a power source with a low  
volta ge drop a nd low noise. Do not ma ke the power connection a t the  
fuse block or a ny point other tha n the ba ttery. Improper power sources  
ca n reduce output a nd ca use distortion.  
The fuse holder should be connected to the battery's positive terminal. The  
fuse is designed to prevent fire or damage to your car, should the battery  
wire short to ground. Wait to insert the fuse into its holder until all wire  
connections have been made.  
If it is necessary to lengthen the battery wire, add the required length  
between the amplifier and the fuse holder, not the fuse holder and the  
battery. Use 16 gauge or larger to extend the battery wire. It is best to  
use as short a wire as possible.  
Be sure you DO NOT run the power wire next to the input cables of the  
amplifier, this will induce noise.  
Avoid running the power wire near the radio's antenna or power leads, or  
near sensitive equipment or harnesses. The power wire carries substantial  
currents and could induce noise.  
CAUTION  
DO NO T substitute the 7.5 a mp fuse included with the Amplified Ba zooka  
with a nything other tha n the sa me fa st blow current ra ted fuse. Substitution or  
deletion will void the product's wa rra nty a nd ma y ca use da ma ge to your ca r  
or the a mplifier.  
10  
GROUND WIRE  
The 16 gauge black wire on the 14-pin Molex Mini-fit Jr. connector is the  
negative ground wire. It must be connected directly to the vehicle chassis  
near the amplifier. We do not recommend extending the ground wire in  
any installation, as this can cause unwanted ground loops.  
The ground point in the car should be a piece of chassis metal that is part  
of or welded to the main body of the vehicle. Painted surfaces should be  
scraped or sanded clean to expose the bare metal before the ground lug  
is bolted down. (Cover the bare metal area with paint or grease after you  
finish mounting the ground wire to prevent rust.)  
REMOTE TURN ON OPTIONS  
The ORANGE wire on the Amplified Bazookas' 14-pin Molex Mini-fit Jr.  
connector is the Remote Turn O n Wire. You ha ve severa l options in  
connecting the Remote Turn On Wire. These options are listed in the order  
of preference recommended by SAS. Select the option best suited for your  
application.  
Option One:  
For the most versatility the Remote Turn On Wire should be connected to  
one terminal of the SAS On/ Off Switch, with the other terminal connecting  
to the source unit's "Accessory", "Auto-Antenna" or "Remote" lead -- any  
of which will supply 12 Volts positive when the source is turned on. The  
SAS On/ Off Switch allows you to demonstrate to others the difference the  
Amplified Bazooka makes in your system, or you can turn the Amplified  
Bazooka off whenever you desire. When you are using this configuration,  
the Quick Disconnect YELLOW On/ Off Jumper Loop MUST be disconnected  
from the wiring harness.  
Mounting The Switch:  
The SAS O n/ O ff Switch ha s a va riety of mounting options. Supplied  
with the switch is a mounting pla te for under da sh a pplica tions.  
11  
TURN ON OPTIONS CONT.  
Notice tha t one end of the mounting pla te is a ngled a nd the other is not.  
Select the end that is best suited for your application and mount that end of  
the plate to the dash panel. The switch ca n a lso be flush mounted into a  
fla t pa nel or fa ctory switch knock out pa nel. Be sure tha t the pla ce you  
choose to flush mount the switch ha s enough clea ra nce behind it before  
you sta rt the insta lla tion of the switch. Using the supplied mounting  
pa nel a s a templa te, etch the mounting hole on to the pa nel you wish  
to mount the switch. Ca refully cut out the mounting hole.  
Option Two:  
If the source does not have an Auto-Antenna lead (or if the Auto-Antenna  
goes down during ta pe opera tion),you ca n connect the Amplified  
Ba zooka s' Remote Turn O n Wire to one termina l of the SAS O n/ O ff  
Switch a nd the Switch's other termina l to a n a ccessory or ignition point  
a t the vehicle fuse block. In this configura tion, the Amplified Ba zooka  
will be on whenever the ignition a nd the SAS O n/ O ff Switch a re both  
on. This method ma y a llow noise or turn-on-a nd-off tra nsients to become  
a mplified when the source unit is not in use. If this occurs, simply turn  
off the SAS O n/ O ff switch when the source unit is not in use a nd this  
noise will be elimina ted. W hen you a re using this O ption, the Q uick  
Disconnect YELLO W O n/ O ff Jumper Loop MUST be disconnected from  
the wiring ha rness.  
Option Three:  
The Amplified Bazooka has a built -in Auto Turn-On Feature. If you choose to  
use this feature, the Amplified Bazooka will turn on automatically whenever  
there is music present at the inputs (high level or low level input). Please  
take notice of the Quick Disconnect Yellow On/ Off Jumper Loop located  
on the Amplified Bazooka wiring harness. SAS ships the Amplified  
Bazooka with this Jumper Loop plugged into the wiring harness. When the  
JUMPER LOOP plugged in, the Auto Turn-On Option is in the ON position  
and the Amplified Bazooka will turn on automatically when it senses any  
music at the inputs. The ORANGE wire should not be connected to anything if  
this feature is being used. Be sure to insulate the end of the ORANGE wire  
so that it will not short to ground, as this may damage the Amplified Bazooka.  
12  
INPUT SIGNAL CONNECTIONS  
ShouldIUseHighorLowLevelInputs?  
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-LevelInputs:  
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.  
PHASE ALERT  
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.  
AmIInPhase?  
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  
13  
SIGNAL CONNECTIONS CONT.  
channels is wired out of phase with the other. To correct this situation, simply  
reverse the connections on one of the two input channels. When the wiring  
is in correct electrical phase, the level of bass output will be greatest when  
the balance control of the radio is set to the center position.  
LOW-LEVELINPUT:  
If your source unit only has low-level RCA phono jack output, use only the  
low-level inputs of the Amplified Bazooka.  
Connect the low-level RCA phono jack inputs of the Amplified Bazooka to the  
source with a shielded RCA patch cord. To avoid possible noise problems, be sure  
to run the patch cord away from all power wires and factory wire harnesses.  
When using the low-level inputs DO NOT make any connections to the  
Green and Gray high-level input wires of the Amplified Bazooka and make  
sure these wires are insulated to avoid the possibility of a short circuit.
