Congratulations on your purchase of a Blaupunkt GTHS80 Amplified Subwoofer. It has been designed, engineered, and manufactured to bring you the highest level of performance and quality, and will afford you years of listening pleasure. Thank you for making Blaupunkt your choice for car audio entertainment!

With the GTHS80, Blaupunkt introduces an amplified subwoofer, low enough to easily fit below the seat of your car. This system offers a quick and easy way to add a high-powered subwoofer system to your audio system.

The integrated amplifier in the GTHS80 features both high input (speaker level) and low input (RCA type) inputs, making this a universal solution for use with any head unit or other input source.

For further flexibility in the use of the subwoofer, you can control the bass level with the remote controller.

Before installing and using your new amplified subwoofer, please become familiar with all the information contained in this manual. Please keep this operation manual for further reference.

Protection Circuitry

The protection circuitry will activate if any of the following occur:

• a) Input overload
• b) Short circuit
• c) Extremely high temperatures

If any of these conditions are detected, the amplifier will go into a self-preservation mode, and the PROTECT LED on the control panel will glow in RED color.

What should I do if the POWER STATUS LED turns RED?

If you observe it is RED, please check the system carefully to determine what has caused the protection circuit to engage.

To reset the amplified subwoofer when it is in PROTECT mode, turn the power off to the system (usually by turning off the head unit or other signal source which feeds the amplifier) and then turn it on again.

If the internal amplifier has shut down due to thermal overload, allow it to cool down before restarting. If the shut down was due to either an input overload or a short circuit, be sure to correct these conditions before attempting to power up the subwoofer again.

Installation Precautions

Before you drill or cut any holes, investigate your car's layout very carefully. Take special care when you work near the gas tank, fuel lines, hydraulic lines, and electrical wiring. 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 GHTS80 amplified 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.

Don't Misuse the Level Control

Do not mistake the input level control for a volume control! It is designed ONLY to match the output level of your audio source to the input level of your subwoofer.

Do not adjust this input level to maximum unless your input level requires it. Ignoring these instructions will result in an input overload to the amplifier in the subwoofer, and excessive audio distortion. It can also cause the protection circuit to engage.
