3. Opsætning og installation

Korrekt installation er afgørende for din subwoofers ydeevne og sikkerhed. Hvis du er usikker på nogle trin, skal du kontakte en professionel installatør af bilstereo.

Wiring a Single Dual Voice Coil (DVC) 4 Ohm Subwoofer

The DS18 GEN-X154D features a Dual Voice Coil (DVC) design, offering flexibility in wiring configurations to match your amplifier's impedance requirements. Below are common wiring options for a single DVC 4 Ohm subwoofer:

• Serieledninger (8 ohm belastning): Tilslut den positive terminal på talespole 1 til den negative terminal på talespole 2. Tilslut derefter ampadapterens positive udgang til den positive terminal på talespole 2, og ampadapterens negative udgang til den negative terminal på talespole 1. Denne konfiguration resulterer i en belastning på 8 ohm.
• Parallel ledningsføring (2 ohm belastning): Connect the positive terminal of Voice Coil 1 to the positive terminal of Voice Coil 2. Connect the negative terminal of Voice Coil 1 to the negative terminal of Voice Coil 2. Then, connect the ampforsyningens positive udgang til de kombinerede positive terminaler, og amptransformerens negative udgang til de kombinerede negative terminaler. Denne konfiguration resulterer i en belastning på 2 ohm.

Sørg altid for din amplifier is stable at the impedance load presented by your subwoofer(s) to prevent damage to your equipment.

4. Betjening

Efter vellykket installation skal du følge disse retningslinjer for optimal drift:

• Indbrudsperiode: Allow a break-in period of approximately 10-20 hours of moderate use before operating the subwoofer at full power. This allows the suspension components to loosen and perform optimally.
• AmpIndstilling af forstærkning: Indstil din ampforstærkningen korrekt for at matche udgangsvolumenettage på din hovedenhed. Forkerte forstærkningsindstillinger kan føre til forvrængning og potentiel skade på subwooferen.
• Crossover-indstillinger: It is generally recommended to set the low-pass filter (LPF) on your amplifier or head unit to around 80 Hz for subwoofers to ensure they only reproduce low frequencies, preventing distortion and improving overall sound clarity.
• Lyt efter forvrængning: If you hear any distortion, reduce the volume or gain immediately. Distortion can severely damage your subwoofer.

5. Vedligeholdelse

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your subwoofer:

• Rensning: Hold subwoofermembranen og surroundhøjttalerne fri for støv og snavs. Brug en blød, tør klud til rengøring. Undgå at bruge skrappe kemikalier eller for meget fugt.
• Inspektion: Periodically inspect the wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Check the cone and surround for any signs of damage or wear.
• Miljøfaktorer: Protect the subwoofer from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and moisture, which can degrade materials over time.

6. Fejlfinding

Hvis du støder på problemer med din subwoofer, kan du se følgende almindelige problemer og løsninger:

• Ingen lyd:
  • Check all wiring connections (power, ground, remote, RCA, speaker wires) for proper contact and polarity.
  • Bekræft amplifier is powered on (power indicator light).
  • Ensure the head unit is sending an audio signal.
  • Check for blown fuses in the amplifier or power distribution block.
• Forvrænget lyd:
  • Reducer amplifier forstærkning.
  • Check for proper crossover settings (LPF too high or too low).
  • Ensure the subwoofer is not over-powered or under-powered by the amplivligere.
  • Inspect the subwoofer cone and surround for physical damage.
• Overophedning Amplifier/Subwoofer:
  • Verify the impedance load matches the amplifiers stabile driftsområde.
  • Sørg for tilstrækkelig ventilation omkring amplivligere.
  • Avoid prolonged operation at maximum volume or with excessive bass boost.

If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, contact DS18 customer support or a qualified technician.
