🛠️ 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.

🎵 Best Uses

Car Audio Systems – Enhance your car’s bass response dramatically.
Home Theater Projects – Pair with a dedicated amp for home subwoofer setups.
DIY Speaker Cabinets – Ideal for custom portable or fixed systems.
Garage or Event Sound – Use in small portable PA or event systems needing low-end punch.

💡 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.
