2 CHANNEL 100 WATT AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Dear customer, Congratulations on your purchase of a Bazooka 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 this high-performance series of amplifiers.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Fuse amplifiers power wire at the battery. Be sure to fuse the power wire within 6” of the vehicles battery. This will protect the vehicle and amplifier in case of a short circuit between the power amplifier and battery. Use high grade wire connectors. To ensure maximum power transfer and secure safe connections, it is recommended to use high grade barrier spades (for connection at amplifier if applicable) and terminal rings (for connection at battery).
FEATURES AND BENEFITS Thermal Protection To protect the amplifier circuitry against damage caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures, a thermal protection circuit is activated if the amplifier reaches excessively high operating temperature. Once the thermal circuit is activated, the amplifier will shut down to cool off. The amplifier will automatically turn back on once it cools down to a safe operating temperature.
MOUNTING LOCATION 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. Do not mount in the engine compartment. Select the location in which you wish to mount the amplifier. Use caution when mounting amplifier, there are many wires, gas lines, vacuum lines, brake lines as well as a gas tank in the automobile.
POWER CONNECTIONS CSA-2 BATTERY GND AUX INPUT +12V GAIN POWER MIN L GROUND MAX OPTIONAL OUTPUT FOR FAST-BTAH WIRE HARNESS (NOT PROVIDED) R + 15A IN-LINE POWER FUSE MOUNTED WITHIN 6” FROM BATTERY (REQUIRED - NOT PROVIDED) BATTERY +12V IMPORTANT! Before making any connections, disconnect the vehicles battery until the installation is completed to avoid possible damage to the electrical system. Connect the amplifier to the vehicles battery.
Connect the remote terminal of the amplifier to a switchable +12V source. This connection allows the amplifier to be turned on and off with the power control of the radio or CSS-3I. If the radio has a REMOTE output terminal, connect it to the amplifier's terminal marked “TURN-ON” (using a 16 gauge wire or heavier). Now when the radio or CSS-3I is turned on, the amplifier will automatically turn on.
SIGNAL CONNECTIONS Connect the RCA output of the head unit or CSS-3 Audio Input Control Switch. The amplifier can be connected directly to your single input source such as CD Player, or with the optional CSS-3 Audio Input Switch you can connect to multiple input sources. The following diagrams show both configurations depending on your system configuration. To make these connections, we recommend high quality RCA cables, which are available at your local Bazooka retailer.
SIGNAL CONNECTIONS SOURCE #1 (INPUT C) CSR-W or CSR-I R L R L SOURCE #2 (INPUT A) SEL MENU 3.
HIGH LEVEL CONNECTIONS (OPTIONAL) 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.
SPEAKER CONNECTIONS Make the speaker connections using speaker wire that is at least 16 gauge or heavier. As with any audio component, proper phasing of the amplifier and speakers is essential for strong bass response. When connecting, make sure that positive (+) from the amplifier is connected to the positive (+) of the speaker, and the same for negative (-). Eight wires from the harness are used to connect four speakers (4 ohm each).
REMOTE CONTROL / CSR-W (OPTIONAL) 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 vehicle's’s electrical system (i.e. popping noises or engine noise), run the cable from the remote to the amplifier away from the vehicle's's electrical wiring.
ACTIVATING THE X-OVER The “CSA-2” amplifier is equipped with a built-in 150Hz High Pass crossover network allowing you limit low frequencies to your speakers. To activate the crossover, slide the “FILTER” switch to the “HPF” position. BAZOOKA HIGH LEVEL INPUT SPEAKER OUTPUT FILTER MOVE THE FILTER SWITCH TO THE “HPF” POSITION TO ACTIVATE THE X-OVER HPF/FULL REMOTE FINE TUNE THE SYSTEM Fine tune the amplifier's input sensitivity.
TROUBLE SHOOTING THE SYSTEM 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.
