Wiring Connections
Please follow the wiring diagram below and ensure that correct polarity is
observed as incorrect wiring may cause the subwoofer to be out of phase with
the rest of the system and result in a loss of bass.
Run In Procedure
VIBE recommends that you follow the run-in procedure for the subwoofer
detailed below.
When your subwoofer is used for the first time, like most brand new items it
is naturally very stiff and rigid. It will take time for the moving parts of
this subwoofer to loosen up before the subwoofer will be ready to deliver its
full potential.
For the first thirty hours, it is recommended that you play the subwoofer at
low to medium volumes, gradually increasing the volume level as time
progresses. As a guide, if you listen to your subwoofer for one hour every day
it will take a month for the subwoofer to run properly.
You will notice a big change in the sound of the subwoofer over this period.
As the spider and surround begin to run in, the sound will get deeper and
harder, also the output of the subwoofer will increase as the suspension
loosens up.
The subwoofer is like your car’s engine, it needs a few thousand miles before
you can drive it to its full potential. Driving it into the redline from the
first day will mean engine damage is certain and will not be covered by
warranty. Failure to follow this simple procedure is the most common reason
for a subwoofer to fail after a very short period of time.
