Increase the Space and Boost the Bass with the JBL BassPro Micro

JBL creates a new dockable bass solution with BassPro Micro. This ultra-compact powered subwoofer system achieves jaw-dropping bass performance that is hard to believe for its size. The 140-watt RMS Class D amplifier and proprietary subwoofer combination delivers 100 dB at 10 feet! The subwoofer enclosure is docked to the permanent amplifier base but detaches in just seconds providing extra cargo space when needed. The BassPro Micro includes speaker-level and line-level inputs that easily connect to the car's existing audio system. There are also controls for input sensitivity, crossover frequency, phase and a bass EQ with 9 dB of boost. The BassPro Micro's efficient and streamlined design makes it an ideal upgrade for any car’s audio system. If you are hungry for even more bass, you can daisy chain two units together to deliver real thunder.

With durable grill fabrics, satin chrome trim and matte black finish for the enclosure case, the BassPro Micro looks as good as it sounds. You'll probably be giving your friends a good look at what sounds so good.
The BassPro Micro is designed to quickly unlatch via a quick release bracket and detach from the amplifier unit that serves as the permanently installed base in the vehicle. Removal of the bass enclosure provides bonus cargo room when needed.
The amplifier provides matched electronics and is optimized for BassPro Micro subwoofer characteristics and enclosure acoustics. Class D operation also means the amplifier runs cooler and draws less current from the vehicle electrical system.
The BassPro Micro system is designed to be compatible with nearly every type of car audio system. It has speaker-level inputs for factory OEM systems or RCA line-level inputs for high-end aftermarket systems. BassPro Micro also has four channel high level inputs to ensure non-fading bass.
The BassPro MIcro has an audio detect circuit that allows the subwoofer to turn-on and timeout to standby mode. Timeout mode is fixed at 3 minutes. (The system has a relatively slow time constant to avoid unintentional turn-on.) An automatic audio sense circuit turns the amplifier on whenever it detects an audio signal. There is a switch to disable audio sense when use of a remote turn-on wire is preferred.
For an even more dramatic bass enhancement, two BassPro Micros can be daisy chained together by simply using standard 3.5 interconnects. There is no need to run additional wiring.
There is an array of controls that give you the ability to fine-tune 。 BassPro Micro's performance based on vehicle type, placement and taste: The input sensitivity control allows you to set maximum system signal without excessive clipping or distorted bass response. The crossover frequency control enables you to dial-in the correct frequency for your vehicle. The bass EQ control can boost your bass response by as much as 9dB. The phase switch allows you to get proper phase alignment between the subwoofer and main speakers regardless of speaker location in the vehicle. The overall result is distortion-free low-frequency response for all types of music.

FAQs & How-Tos

  • Vehicles that have an Active Noise Cancelling system are prone to encounter sound issues when an after-market subwoofer is installed. The sound issue can be described as a hum or low-frequency tone. To understand why this is happening it's important to understand how the ANC system in a vehicle works.

     

    The ANC system's main job is to pick up on any internal/external low-frequency sound, such as engine/road noises, and block them out. The signal is sent to its ANC processor to produce a reverse phase audio signal and is sent back to the speaker system. The inverted phase signal will cancel out the internal/external low-frequency sound, blocking out any unwanted noise.

     

    When you add an aftermarket subwoofer into the mix the ANC system hears the subwoofer output as being part of the engine/road noise. The ANC system believes the low-frequencies being emitted by the subwoofer are part of the unwanted noise and this leads to the ANC system producing an out-of-phase low-frequency signal to block the sub's output.

     

    To identify if your vehicle has an ANC system you can do one of two things.

     

    1. Look up your vehicle's specifications online and verify if an ANC system is installed.
    2. Drive your vehicle, play music, put your vehicle in park, and then either turn off the engine or open your door. If the subwoofer plays as it should you'll know you have an ANC system.

    To fix the sound issue you'll need to disable the ANC system. You can accomplish this by doing one of three things.

     

    1. Contact your dealership to see if they can disable the ANC system
    2. Use an ANC Bypass Harness
    3. Disable the ANC system yourself
