🛠️ Installation Guide
Step 1: Prepare the Enclosure
Choose a sealed or ported subwoofer box based on your sound preference. Ensure it matches the sub's mounting depth (104mm) and dimensions.
Step 2: Mount the Subwoofer
-
Place the subwoofer into the box cutout.
-
Use the included screws or appropriate mounting screws.
-
Make sure it’s tightly sealed (add a gasket for airtight fit).
Step 3: Wiring
-
Identify the positive (+) and negative (−) terminals on the subwoofer.
-
Connect speaker wires from the amplifier’s sub output to the terminals.
-
Use 12–16 AWG speaker wire for best performance.
Tip: Solder the wires for a stronger and lasting connection.
Step 4: Connect to Amplifier
-
Ensure the amplifier supports 4-ohm impedance.
-
Adjust gain and crossover settings. Start low to avoid distortion.
Step 5: Test & Tune
-
Play bass-heavy music and gradually increase volume.
-
Adjust the amp settings until you find the perfect balance of power and clarity.

💡 Pro Tips
-
Break-in Period: Play at medium volume for 10–15 hours to allow the suspension to loosen and optimize sound.
-
Avoid Overpowering: Stay within the 60W RMS limit for consistent performance and longevity.
-
Ventilation: Ensure airflow to avoid overheating, especially during extended use.
🚫 Common Mistakes to Avoid
-
❌ Skipping enclosure: Never run the sub without a box—it won’t deliver the right bass.
-
❌ Mismatching impedance: Always match amp and sub impedance (4 Ohm in this case).
-
❌ Clipping signals: Set amp gain properly to avoid sound distortion or damage.
