III. INSTALLATION AND WIRING

IMPORTANT: Disconnect the vehicle’s negative (–) battery

terminal before beginning the installation.

• Wear protective eyewear when using tools.

• Choose a safe mounting location. Check clearances on both

sides of the location. Be sure that screws will not puncture

brake or fuel lines or wiring harnesses, and that wire routing will

not interfere with vehicle operation. Use caution when drilling

or cutting.

• When making electrical connections, make sure they are

secure and properly insulated.

• Using the dock as a template, mark the locations of the holes

on the mounting surface.

• Drill pilot holes in the mounting surface.

• Attach the dock to the mounting surface with the included

sheet metal screws and washers.

A. Mounting the dock in the vehicle

Use the included sheet metal screws to secure the dock to the

mounting surface in the vehicle. Ensure that the included wire

is long enough to reach the desired mounting location before

securing the dock.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR

PURCHASE . . .

Your product has been designed to provide you the performance

and ease of operation you expect from JBL. Take time to read

this manual before operating or installing your BassPro Go. This

manual describes general installation guidelines and operation

instructions. Please note that proper installation of mobile audio

components requires qualiﬁed experience with mechanical and

electrical procedures. If you do not have the knowledge and tools

to perform this installation, we strongly recommend consulting an

authorized JBL dealer about your installation options.

I. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

JBL BassPro Go is a powered subwoofer designed to easily

mount and charge in any vehicle. It acts as a subwoofer or a

full-range speaker in the vehicle; and, with its quick-disconnect

feature, becomes a portable Bluetooth speaker. It features easy-

to-use controls and a convenient safety cover to help protect the

speaker when used out of the vehicle, and to provide an IPx5

marine rating.

B. Mounting the speaker in the dock

1. Pull the handle out.

Pull

2. Rest one corner of the speaker on the dock at a slight angle to

get the speaker seated.

3. Rotate the speaker until it is completely in place in the dock.

4. Release the handle to ﬁnish securing in place.

NOTE: It will be easiest to connect the wire harness before mounting

the speaker in the dock.

C. Power and Ground Connections in the

vehicle

18" (46cm)

Chassis ground (–)

Remote turn-on (blue)

Battery

Fuse holder, 20A fuse

i. Power: Connect the red +12V power wire in the wire harness

to the positive terminal of the vehicle battery. Install a 20A fuse

and fuse holder within 18" (457mm) of the battery.

ii. Ground: Connect the black GND wire in the wire harness to

bare metal of the vehicle’s chassis, such as at a seat belt bolt.

NOTE: If possible, remove any paint from the chassis for best contact.

It is recommended to use a star washer below the ring connector for a

secure connection.

iii. Remote-In: Connect the blue remote turn-on wire in the wire

harness to the “Remote Out” lead of the source unit, if using

low-level signal inputs.

NOTE: 12V ACC turn-on is the preferred method. If you are using

high-level signal inputs (vehicle speaker wires), you can choose to have

the DC offset feature or the audio-sensing feature turn the ampliﬁer on.

You will not have to connect the remote turn-on wire and can terminate

the connection.

D. Power/Protect indicators when connected to

the vehicle

The power button on the control panel indicates the

speaker’s modes of operation.

Illumination color Mode of operation

White Subwoofer mode (in vehicle only)

Green Full-range mode

Red

Protect mode (over/under voltage/short

circuit/ampliﬁer circuit failure/excessive

heat)

Yellow Settings mode

E. Signal input in the vehicle

Line-level inputs: If your source unit offers preamp outputs,

connect them to the RCA inputs in the wire harness. Use front

or rear preamp outputs for full-range operation, or subwoofer

preamp outputs (if available) for subwoofer mode.

12V DC AUDIO

2V 4V 6V

Note: When using low-level signals and remote turn-on lead, set the

“Auto Turn-on” switch to “12V,” and set the speaker’s input level to “LO”

in the settings menu (see “setting the input level”). Set the “Auto-on”

switch to 2V, 4V, or 6V, whichever most closely matches the voltage of

your source unit’s preamp outputs.

High-level inputs: If your source unit does not have line-level

outputs, use the supplied high-level input adapters to connect to

the speaker output wires of your source unit to the RCA inputs in

the wire harness.

12V DC AUDIO

NOTE: When using high-level signals, set the “Auto Turn-on” switch to

“DC” (to turn on when it receives battery power) or “AUDIO” (to turn on

when it senses audio signal). Set the input level to “HI1” in the settings

menu (see “setting the input level”). If no sound plays, change the input

level to “HI2”.

F. Connecting the remote bass control in the

vehicle

Plug the remote bass controller into the appropriate input in the

wire harness. Mount the remote in a convenient location, such as

under the dash, using sheet metal screws.

Turn the dial clockwise to increase the bass output, and

counterclockwise to decrease the bass output.

NOTE: Remote bass control will only operate in subwoofer mode.

B. Setting the input level

When the BassPro Go is docked in your vehicle, you will need

to set the input level to accept the type of signal it receives from

your source unit. Select level options by pressing the “+” and “–”

buttons.

C. Setting the low-pass crossover in subwoofer

mode

The crossover allows only frequencies below a certain point to

reach the speaker in woofer mode. The crossover point you

choose depends on your musical preferences.

D. Setting the gain

When the BassPro Go is docked in your vehicle, you will need to

match the gain (input sensitivity) to output of the signal it receives

from your source unit. To set the gain:

1. Start with gain control switch set to 2V.

2. Choose music with substantial bass content and turn the

volume control on your receiver to 75% of its total output.

3. Increase the gain one step at a time by pressing the “+”

button, listening carefully to the bass output, as the LED read

out displays each step. To increase the interval of the gain you

are adjusting, move the gain control switch to 2V, 4V, or 6V as

necessary. If you hear distortion, lower the gain one step at a

time by pressing the “–” button until the distortion disappears.

VII. TROUBLESHOOTING

No audio and POWER INDICATOR is off

• No voltage at BATT+ and/or REM terminals, or bad or no

ground connection. Check voltages at ampliﬁer terminals with

VOM.

No audio and PROTECT INDICATOR is on

• Check to see if the input voltage is less than 9V or greater than

16V on BATT+ connection and vehicle charging system.

In-line fuse keeps breaking

• The wiring is connected incorrectly or there is a short circuit.

Review installation precautions and procedures. Check wiring

connections.

Distorted audio

• Gain is not set properly. Check and adjust settings. Speaker or

source unit may be defective.

Unwanted noise in the audio signal

• Radiated vehicle noise in the line-level input cables. Make sure

power wire and signal wires are not near each other (run them

down opposite sides of the vehicle).

Music lacks dynamics or "punch"

• Use 0°/180° phase adjustment.

Loudness or audio performance varies with Bluetooth

• Loudness and volume will vary between phones. If you feel

that the product is not loud enough, check your phone settings

to see if any adjustments can be made to improve audio

performance, or try using a different audio source or Bluetooth

streaming device to determine if performance improves.

Audio play/pause, track forward or track back are slow

to respond in Bluetooth mode

• This will vary by phone or Bluetooth streaming device. Try using

a different Bluetooth streaming device to see if this improves.

If the problem persists, cycle the power off and let the speaker

rest for a few minutes before turning power on.

Audio track is cutoff in ﬁrst few seconds when using

track forward or track back

• This will vary by phone and the capability of the phone to

communicate with Bluetooth control from an external device.

Try using a different Bluetooth streaming device to see if this

improves.
