5. Opsætning og installation
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of your subwoofer. It is highly recommended to have the subwoofer installed by a qualified professional.
5.1 Anbefalinger til indkapsling
The RS-X-08 is designed to perform well in both sealed and vented enclosures:
- Udluftet boks: Approximately 18 liters (0.64 cubic feet).
- Forseglet æske: Approximately 12 liters (0.42 cubic feet).
Ensure the enclosure is robust, airtight (for sealed), and properly braced to prevent rattles and vibrations.
5.2 Ledningsforbindelser
The RS-X-08 has a 4 Ohm nominal impedance. Connect the subwoofer to a suitable amplifier capable of delivering the required power (250-375 Watts RMS) at a 4 Ohm load.
- Connect the positive (+) terminal of the subwoofer to the positive (+) output of the amplivligere.
- Connect the negative (-) terminal of the subwoofer to the negative (-) output of the amplivligere.
- Use high-quality speaker wire of appropriate gauge (e.g., 12-14 gauge) for runs up to 10 feet.

5.3 Montering
The subwoofer requires an installation diameter of 183 mm (7.20 inches) and an installation depth of 104 mm (4.09 inches). Ensure sufficient clearance behind the mounting surface for proper ventilation and magnet clearance.
6. Betjeningsvejledning
Når den er installeret, skal du følge disse retningslinjer for optimal drift:
- Indbrudsperiode: Allow a break-in period of approximately 20-30 hours of normal listening before pushing the subwoofer to its limits. This allows the suspension components to loosen up and perform optimally.
- Forstærkningsindstilling: Indstil ampforstærkningen korrekt for at matche udgangsvolumentage of your head unit. Incorrect gain settings can lead to distortion and potential damage to the subwoofer.
- Crossover-indstillinger: Brug et lavpasfilter (LPF) på din amplifier or head unit to send only low frequencies to the subwoofer. A typical LPF setting for an 8-inch subwoofer might be between 60Hz and 100Hz, depending on your system and preferences.
- Subsonisk filter: Hvis din amplifier has a subsonic filter, enable it and set it slightly below your enclosure's tuning frequency (for vented enclosures) or around 25-30Hz (for sealed enclosures) to protect the subwoofer from over-excursion at very low frequencies.
- Lydstyrkekontrol: Avoid prolonged listening at maximum volume levels, especially if you notice any distortion. Distortion indicates that the amplifier or subwoofer is being overdriven.
7. Vedligeholdelse
The Gladen RS-X-08 subwoofer requires minimal maintenance:
- Hold subwooferen ren og fri for støv og snavs. Brug en blød, tør klud til rengøring.
- Kontrollér regelmæssigt alle ledningsforbindelser for at sikre, at de er fastgjorte og fri for korrosion.
- Avoid spilling liquids on the subwoofer.
- Do not apply excessive pressure to the cone or surround.
