We know what you want. You want it LOUD, and that is exactly what we do, what we live for. Vibrations, gut-punches and straight up loud music – that’s what makes us tick. We won’t dress up in fancy words or claim to be something we’re not. We are the NO BULLSH!T car audio brand!
Every single product with the GAS logo on it is born out of passion, the same that has driven us for two generations and that will keep us rolling up to your neighbourhood, winning and pushing the limits for many generations to come!
It’s up to you to choose your own level of loud, and if you don’t like what we do that’s OK. You are welcome back when you’ve had your first true GAS experience.
We don’t exclude, we don’t judge and we do not make up any excuses for who we are.

SAFETY

PLAY LOUD & SAFE. Read through this information, follow the instructions and save the manual for future usage and reference.
Make sure to pay attention to the instructions when you see this symbol:
Do not expose the wiring to your new speaker to excessive damp or moisture. If the speaker’s wiring is exposed it might result in electric failure, shock or damage to the  product. Servicing is required when the product has been damaged in any way and/or doesn’t operate normally. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel only.
Keep the cables inside the vehicle separate from sharp edges or components that may be affected or take damage. Follow the recommended cable sizes and always use high quality cables and accessories. Even if you’re eager to put the speakers to use – take no shortcuts when installing the cables, make sure that all connectors are protected and secured.
Do not drill any holes without checking what lies beneath, and don’t cut anything without making sure that no important components risk being damaged.
There is a first time for everything, if you need help – ask a friend or contact your local GAS AUDIO POWER dealer/installer.
We want you to experience your product’s MAX sound, but we don’t want you to injure yourself or others. Use common sense, respect high pressure levels and volume, and follow your local laws and regulations.

PERFORMANCE

IMPEDANCE VS FREQUENCY

FEATURES

In Sweden, we have the expression “Lagom” for when things are in a moderate amount. In this aspect, the MAX PMW1-64/84 speaker is as far from Swedish as it can be. It was made to blow everyone’s mind and give you the true next- level MAX experience.
A MELTING POT OF AWESOME
This midrange woofer will give you all the performance you’ll need. We’ve combined a Water Repellent Cone (WRC), HQ ferrite motor, copper wire voice coil, Kapton former and a copper shorting ring into one beautiful speaker. With some tweaks, the result is a product that sparks crazy amounts of awesome. We call it the MAXimal sound experience!
AWAKE YOUR PASSION FOR UNCOMPROMISED AUDIO
To get the best performance out of your sound system, you need to challenge yourself to reach new heights! The MAX PMW1-64/84 lets you experience every part of the midrange spectrum. It’s a truly exciting midwoofer with a dynamic and detailed sound that also delivers loads of authority. By using clever design choices such as a low FS design, a progressive A3 NBR suspension and a polycotton/Nomex spider we have created a speaker that will both surprise and impress!
WHEN OTHERS GO LOUD, WE GO LOUDER
You’ll want to dial that volume knob beyond 11, and a speaker that lets you go berserk demands two things: tough materials and a cool design. The basket is made of steel with a custom M design and we’ve added industrial sand paint to make it look as good as it plays. Another cool thing is the DVS™ (Dual Ventilation System) for reduced distortion and increased heat dissipation.
WE’RE NOT QUITE DONE YET
You should take care of the things you love, so we’ve included a hex grill with an aluminum badge to protect your new favorite speaker. If you look closely, we’ve added something we call a CD Crosshead terminal. This is an oversized “Cable Direct” terminal. It’s massive – and can fit up to 10mm² (8 AWG) wires! SPL is way of life after all, so add more speakers to your SPL build – you know you want to.

HOW TO

INSTALL SPEAKER

Before installing your brand new speaker, make sure that you have everything you need.
Have the right tools ready, and make sure that you have the necessary knowledge/skill to perform the installation properly. Preparation and knowledge is crucial!
The MAX PMW1-64/84 uses a single 4 Ohm voice coil. If you want to connect four or more PMW1-64/84 speakers, you can vary the impedance by altering the wiring configuration to use a series or parallel setup. The more the merrier!
Make sure to look through the recommended wiring schematics below and choose the setup that corresponds with the number of speakers in your sound system. Take note of the impedance stability of your amplifier. Don’t be afraid to consult your local GAS AUDIO POWER dealer/installer if you have any questions.
It is important to know the limits of your amplifier. Be sure to connect your sound system with a suitable impedance to optimize your sound system.

TROUBLESHOOTING

NO POWER/SOUND
Check the speakers to make sure they’re not damaged. If your speakers don’t get any power, the most common issue is either in the wiring or in the amplifier. Use a  multimeter to measure the amplifier’s voltage on the +12V terminal and the remote signal terminal. Use a multimeter to make sure that you have a negative ground connection. Check the built-in fuse (if there’s one) on the amplifier. If there’s no power coming through – control the fuse on the power cable. If it’s intact – make a full check of the wiring to ensure cable integrity.
Check all the speakers connected to your sound system. Check all the speaker cables and all the signal cables. Check your head unit to make sure no settings are limiting the amplifier’s functions or the speakers. When all of the above has been tested/looked over, and all is as it should be but there’s still no sound, consult your local GAS AUDIO POWER dealer/installer.
UNWANTED NOISE
Start by looking over the speakers in the sound system so there is no damage or connection issue with the wiring. Make sure that your signal cables or speaker cables aren’t too close to the power cables. Check your amplifier’s grounding point and make sure that the surface is clean. When all of the above has been tested/looked over, and the unwanted noise does not vanish, consult your local GAS AUDIO POWER dealer/installer.
DISTORTION
Start by looking over the speakers in the sound system so there’s no damage or connection issue with the wiring. Check the speaker cables to make sure that the polarity isn’t reversed on one channel. Check the settings on the amplifier, make sure that the gain/level is set according to the amplifier’s instructions. If your amplifier has a boost function, lower its effect or turn it off.
