Connect the positive (+) terminal of the subwoofer to the positive (+) speaker output of the amplifier. Connect the negative (-) terminal of the subwoofer to the negative (-) speaker output of the amplifier. This configuration will present a 4 Ohm load to the amplebih hidup.

5. Arahan Operasi

5.1 Tempoh Pecah Masuk

Allow a break-in period of approximately 10-20 hours of normal listening before operating the subwoofer at high volumes. This allows the suspension components (surround and spider) to loosen up, improving performance and longevity.

5.2 AmpTetapan Keuntungan Penguat

Tetapkan anda amplifier's gain control carefully. The gain control is not a volume knob; it matches the output voltage of your head unit to the input sensitivity of your amplifier. Incorrect gain settings can lead to distortion and potential damage to the subwoofer. Start with the gain at its lowest setting, then slowly increase it until you hear distortion, then back off slightly.

5.3 Tetapan Crossover

Gunakan anda amplifier's or head unit's low-pass filter (LPF) to send only low frequencies to the subwoofer. A typical LPF setting for an 8-inch subwoofer might be between 80Hz and 120Hz, depending on your other speakers and personal preference. Avoid sending full-range audio to the subwoofer, as this can cause distortion and reduce efficiency.
