4. Opsætning og installation

Korrekt installation er afgørende for optimal ydeevne og sikkerhed.

4.1 Valg af monteringssted

The DBA 201F is designed for under-seat installation due to its super-flat profile. Consider locations that:

• Provide sufficient clearance for the unit and its wiring.
• Sørg for tilstrækkelig ventilation.
• Do not interfere with seat movement, vehicle controls, or safety systems.
• Offer a secure mounting surface.

4.2 Ledningsforbindelser

Refer to the wiring diagram on the unit and in the full manual for specific connections. General steps include:

1. Effekt (B+): Connect the main power wire (typically red) to the positive terminal of the vehicle's battery. Ensure an in-line fuse (not supplied, typically 15A as per product specifications, but verify with the unit's fuse holder) is installed close to the battery.
2. Jord (GND): Connect the ground wire (typically black) to a clean, unpainted metal surface of the vehicle chassis. Ensure a solid electrical connection.
3. Fjerntænding (REM): Connect the remote turn-on wire (typically blue or yellow) to the remote output of your head unit. This signal turns the subwoofer on and off with your car stereo.
4. Lydindgang:
   • RCA (Low-Level) Input: If your head unit has RCA pre-outs, connect them to the RCA inputs on the subwoofer.
   • Speaker Level (High-Level) Input: If your head unit does not have RCA outputs, connect the speaker wires from your head unit directly to the speaker level inputs on the subwoofer's wiring harness.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

Når subwooferen er installeret, skal du justere dens indstillinger for optimal lydintegration med bilens lydsystem.

5.1 Justeringer på kontrolpanelet

The DBA 201F features several controls on its rear panel (refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6):

• GEVINST: Justerer indgangsfølsomheden for amplifier. Start with the gain at minimum and slowly increase it until the subwoofer output matches the rest of your system without distortion.
• LO-PASS (Low-Pass Filter): Sets the upper frequency limit for the subwoofer. Frequencies above this setting will be filtered out. Typically set between 50Hz and 100Hz, depending on your main speakers.
• BASS BOOST: Provides an adjustable boost to bass frequencies, usually around 45Hz. Use sparingly to avoid distortion.
• FASE: Allows you to adjust the phase of the subwoofer output (0° or 180°) to match the phase of your main speakers. Adjust this setting to achieve the most coherent bass response.
• REMOTE CONTROL TURN ON: Switch between DC (DC offset detection for high-level input) or AUDIO (audio signal detection for high-level input) for automatic turn-on, or ON for remote wire turn-on.
• INPUT: Selects between PRE (RCA/low-level input) and SPK (speaker/high-level input).
