Mahe sure to pay attention to the instructions when you see thissymbol:
Do not expose your new subwoofer to excessive damp or moisture. If the subwoofer is exposed it might result in electric failure, shoch 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 tahe damage. Follow the recommended cable sizes and always use high quality cables and accessories. Even if you‘re eager to put the subwoofer to use – tahe no shortcuts when installing the cables, mahe sure that all connectors are protected and secured.
Do not drill any holes without cheching what lies beneath, and don‘t cut anything without mahing sure that no important components risk being damaged.
There is a first time for everything, if you need help – ash a friend or contact your local GAS AUDIO POWER dealer/installer.

FEATURES
If you have thisin your hand, you have finally made it. Congratulations! You are ready to take the next step, to enter a world of N0 COMPROMISES with a subwoofer that will take your car to a whole new level. So get out there and impress the non-believers! Show them that true dedication comes from the inside of your trunh and that “good enough“just doesn’t cut it.
NEXT LEVEL BASS
A MAX subwoofer is designed to test the limits and match your dedication in
performance and style. Made for the hardcore bass heads out there – with a
rigid and durable cone made by non-pressed paper with Mica minerals that
perfectly balances awesome power, weight and musicality.
MADE TO MOVE
The dust cap is made of IMPP for a unique ID design, an idea we borrowed from
the MAD S2 series. But since this is MAX, we tooh it one step further. With an
impressive high roll foam suspension, you get even more awesome cone movement.
The 3-inch dual voice coi wire is made of PCW(Pure Copper Wire) and we‘ve
introduced a bumped back plate for some extra mechanical Xmax, which also
minimizes the rish of voice coil damage.
TUNED TO THE EXTREME
The MAX S1 subwoofers will let everyone hnow that your audio dedication is
real. No detail has been overseen, and no compromises have been made. We show
our dedication to the craft of bass with dual stached H0 ferrite magnets to
achieve an insane amount of motor in the subwoofer. We‘ve also added a Dual
Nomex spider and dual stitching for extra durability, to make sure that the
last thing standing will be your sound system. This subwoofer is extreme and
over the top, as itshould be!
COOLEST SUBWOOFER ON THE BLOCK
The MAX S1 will show everyone that you have reached the next level, the MAX
level. Having a subwoofer perform at this level demands extremely good
ventilation. 0nIy the best and beyond is good enough! We solved the cooling in
two different ways. The material in the top/back plate is thicher for optimal
heat conduction, and the implemented DVS2 (Dual Ventilation System) creates
incredible heat dissipation while also reducing distortion.
How To
INSTALL SUBWOOFER
Before installing your brand new subwoofer, mahe sure that you have everything you need. Have the right tools ready, and mahe sure that you have the necessary hnowledge/skill to perform the installation properly. Preparation and hnowledge is crucial!
The MAX S1-12D1/S1-15D1/S1-18D1 uses dual 1 Ohm voice coils, while the MAX S1-12D2 /S1-15D2 uses dual 2 Ohm voice coils. If you want to connect two or more S1 series subwoofers, you can vary the impedance by altering the wiring configuration to use a series, parallel orseries-parallelsetup. The more the merrier!
Mahe sure to looh through the recommended wiring schematics below and choose
the
setup that corresponds with the number of subwoofers in your sound system.
Tahe 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 yoursound system
BUILD ENCLOSURE
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.
If you want a LOUD and awesome loohing sound system, you should mount your MAX
subwoofer in an enclosure. Here’s information about optimized volumes for
different types of enclosures and how they perform with the MAX S1 subwoofer.
If you feel unsure about how to build an enclosure on your own, consult a
local GAS AUDIO POWER dealer/installer.

DO I NEED POLYFILL?
Hell yeah! We recommend using polyfill for all sealed, vented and bandpass
enclosures for the best overall performance.
A polyfilled enclosure will bring out the full potential of your subwoofer, by starting an isothermal process when enerqy flows through the fibers (very scientific). This means that the air gets more dense, so it lessens the BOOM and brings out the BASS! It can also reduce harmonic distortion. Sounds complicated, we hnow. But it’s easy to do! Cover two sides in a ported enclosure or make a loose polyfill ball behind the driver in a sealed enclosure. Try it out! If you like the bass to hit harder -just tahe away some. Do you want to lessen the effect? Put in some more.
Troubleshooting
NO POWER/SOUND
Check the subwoofer to make sure it isn‘t damaged. If your subwoofer doesn‘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 thisis intact – make a full chech of the wiring to
ensure cable integrity.
Check all the speakers connected to your sound system. Check all the speaher cables and all the signal cables. Check your head unit to make sure no settings are limiting the amplifier’s functions or the subwoofer. When all of the above has been tested/loohed over, and all is as it should be but there‘s still no sound, consult your local GAS dealer.
UNWANTED NOISE
Start by looking over the subwoofer and other speahers in the sound system so
there is no damage or connection issue with the wiring. Mahe sure that your
signal cables or speaker cables aren’t too close to the power cables. Check
your amplifier’s grounding point and mahe 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 dealer
DISTORTION
Start by loohing over the subwoofer and other speahers in the sound system so
there‘s no damage or connection issue with the wiring. Chech the speaher
cables to mahe sure that the polarity isn’t reversed on one channel. Chech 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.
