4. Opsætning og installation

Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your subwoofer. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional.

4.1 Krav til indkapsling

The G7 8.4 is designed for custom box mounting. Ensure the enclosure is properly sealed and braced to prevent air leaks and vibrations. Consult with an audio professional or use a reputable enclosure design software to determine the optimal volume and port tuning (if applicable) for your specific application.

4.2 Ledningsforbindelser

This subwoofer features a 4 Ω Dual Voice Coil (DVC) design. Proper wiring is essential to match the impedance requirements of your ampLifier. Se din amplifier's manual for compatible impedance loads. Common wiring configurations for DVC subwoofers include:

• Serie ledninger: Forbind den positive terminal på den ene svingspole til den negative terminal på den anden svingspole. De resterende positive og negative terminaler forbindes til amplifier. This configuration increases the total impedance (e.g., two 4 Ω coils in series result in 8 Ω).
• Parallel ledninger: Connect both positive terminals together and both negative terminals together. These combined terminals then connect to the amplifier. This configuration decreases the total impedance (e.g., two 4 Ω coils in parallel result in 2 Ω).

Always use appropriate gauge speaker wire for your power levels to minimize power loss and ensure safe operation. Secure all connections firmly to prevent shorts or loose contacts.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

Once installed, proper operation ensures the best sound quality and extends the life of your subwoofer.

5.1 Amplifier indstillinger

Indstil din amplifier's gain (level) control correctly. Start with the gain at its minimum setting and slowly increase it until you hear distortion, then back off slightly. Avoid setting the gain too high, as this can lead to clipping and damage to the subwoofer.

5.2 Delefiltreindstillinger

Udnyt din amplifier's or head unit's low-pass filter (LPF) to send only low frequencies to the subwoofer. A typical crossover point for an 8-inch subwoofer might be between 80 Hz and 120 Hz, but this can vary based on your vehicle's acoustics and personal preference.

5.3 Indkøringsperiode

Tillad en indkøringsperiode på cirka 20-30 timers normal lytning, før du presser subwooferen til det yderste. Dette giver suspensionskomponenterne (surround og spider) mulighed for at løsne sig og opnå deres optimale fleksibilitet.

6. Vedligeholdelse

The DB Drive G7 8.4 Subwoofer requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-term performance.

• Rensning: Tør subwoofermembranen og -rammen regelmæssigt af med en blød, tør klud for at fjerne støv og snavs. Undgå at bruge skrappe kemikalier eller for meget fugt.
• Inspektion: Regularly check the speaker terminals for secure connections. Inspect the surround and cone for any signs of damage or tears.
• Miljø: Ensure the subwoofer is installed in a location protected from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and moisture.
