• Sikker montering: Securely mount the subwoofer to prevent it from becoming a projectile in the event of a sudden stop or accident.

4. Opsætning og installation

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of your subwoofer. This section provides general guidelines. Refer to your amplifier's manual for specific wiring diagrams and power requirements.

4.1. Valg af kabinet

The DB DRIVE K5 12D4V2 subwoofer requires a suitable enclosure for proper operation. Common enclosure types include sealed, ported (vented), or bandpass. The choice depends on desired sound characteristics and available space. Consult a car audio specialist or online resources for recommended enclosure volumes and tuning frequencies for this specific model.

4.2. Tilslutning af subwooferen

The K5 12D4V2 features a 4-layer 4-ohm DVC (Dual Voice Coil) configuration. This allows for various wiring options to achieve different impedance loads at the amplifier. Common configurations include:

• Parallel Wiring (2 ohms): Connect the positive terminals of both voice coils together and the negative terminals of both voice coils together. This results in a 2-ohm load, suitable for ampLifiers stabile ved 2 ohm.
• Series Wiring (8 ohms): Connect the positive terminal of one voice coil to the negative terminal of the other voice coil. The remaining positive and negative terminals are then connected to the amplifier. This results in an 8-ohm load.

Always match the subwoofer's impedance load to the amplifier's stable impedance rating. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with your amplivligere.

4.3. Tilslutning til Amplivligere

Connect the wired subwoofer to the appropriate speaker output terminals on your amplifier. Ensure polarity is correct (+ to + and - to -). Use high-quality speaker wire of adequate gauge to minimize power loss.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

Når subwooferen er installeret, skal du følge disse generelle retningslinjer for betjening:

• Indledende opstart: After installation, turn on your car's audio system at a low volume. Gradually increase the volume and check for proper operation.
• Amplifier indstillinger: Adjust the gain, crossover frequency, and phase settings on your amplifier to blend the subwoofer's output seamlessly with your main speakers.
  • Gevinst: Indstil forstærkningen, så den matcher udgangsvolumentage of your head unit. Avoid setting it too high, which can cause distortion.
  • Lavpasfilter (LPF): Set the LPF to filter out frequencies above the subwoofer's intended range (typically 60Hz-100Hz).
  • Fase: Adjust the phase (0° or 180°) to ensure the subwoofer's output is in sync with your main speakers, preventing cancellation or weak bass.
• Indbrudsperiode: Tillad en indkøringsperiode på cirka 20-30 timers normal lytning, før du presser subwooferen til det yderste. Dette giver affjedringskomponenterne mulighed for at løsne sig og fungere optimalt.
• Undgå overkørsel: Do not continuously play the subwoofer at distorted levels. This can cause permanent damage to the voice coil and other components.

6. Vedligeholdelse

The DB DRIVE K5 12D4V2 subwoofer requires minimal maintenance:

• Rensning: Brug en blød, tør klud til at tørre keglen og omgivelserne af. Undgå at bruge skrappe kemikalier eller slibende rengøringsmidler.
• Inspektion: Periodically inspect the wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Check the subwoofer's surround for any signs of cracking or damage.
• Miljøfaktorer: Protect the subwoofer from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and moisture, which can degrade its performance and lifespan.
