The dash mounted bass level control provides a convenient way to adjust the bass without having to leave your seat. [. . . ] Prior to drilling, make sure proposed mounting holes will not cut into the fuel tank, fuel lines, brake lines (under chassis), or electrical wiring. If you are not sure of the connections, contact your authorized Clarion dealer. If you are using a source unit, without a remote turn-on lead, the BCX100 can be turned on with a switched accessory lead. You can find this accessory power source in the factory harness at the back of the radio. Before installation, make sure the source unit Ignition Switch is in the OFF position. Disconnect the negative (-) lead of the battery before making any power connections. A clean chassis ground connection is critical to the performance of your Clarion BCX100. Use the shortest ground wire possible and securely connect to the car chassis to minimize resistance and avoid noise problems. Connect the Sonic Bass Enhancer's positive (+) lead via a fuse directly to the positive (+) terminal on the battery. Use red insulated 18-gauge (or larger) wire for the Sonic Bass Enhancer's positive (+) power lead and the same gauge black insulated wire for the ground. To avoid noise problems, run the Sonic Bass Enhancer's positive (+) power lead and the amplifier's positive (+) power lead along one side of the vehicle to the battery. Run the remote turn-on wire and RCA audio cables down the center, and route the speaker wires along the remaining side. When creating passage holes for the power wire, use grommets to eliminate any sharp edges created during drilling. This will protect the wire from being nicked and causing a short circuit. Extra cable can cause signal loss and act as an "antenna" for noise. Use only high-quality RCA cables that are no longer than necessary to make a direct connection with the source unit and amplifiers. [. . . ] Swap left and right connections at the input to the Sonic Bass Enhancer. If the problem trades sides in the vehicle, then the wiring is defective between the source unit and the crossover. Solution: Check the CONSTANT and REMOTE (Switched) wiring connections. [. . . ]
