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 MAD 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.
These speakers are not woofers. The speakers should be crossed over as midrange speakers to protect them from damage (deep bass).
Recommended cross over:
- HPF@ 80-120Hz (12dB/Oct) for PM2-64
- HPF@ 70-120Hz (12dB/Oct) for PM2-84
- HPF@ 70-120Hz (12dB/Oct) for PM2-104
UNPACKING
Unboxing your new MAD product is an experience, make sure that the speakers
and all the accessories are included in the packaging:
DIMENSIONS
SPECIFICATIONS
Below you’ll find the specifications that has been checked and tested in our
workshop. The specified sensitivity isn’t directly connected with the sound
pressure in the vehicle, and shouldn’t be used as the sole indicator for
comparison with other speakers. 
FEATURES
The MAD midrange speakers are made to be LOUD and last for years to come. We want to help you and your vehicle to be as LOUD as possible. We’ve made sure that is the case by using innovative and groundbreaking techniques that increase durability.
NEXT LEVEL LOUD
Ready to take a stand? The MAD PM2 midrange drivers are here to stay and to
make sure you show everyone how LOUD you can be. SPL is not just a couple of
midrange drivers and horn tweeters that will wake up the neighbors in the next
area, it’s a lifestyle! If you’re ready to take the next step into the
wonderful world of SPL, this is the product for you.
WE MADE SPL SOUND GOOD
Bigger is better, that’s just how it is. The bigger and more powerful magnet
creates midrange drivers that can produce A LOT of sound. If you’re going to
crank that volume dial to the max, you will want it to sound good. We added a
copper shorting ring just for this purpose, which lowers the distortion,
because we care about your ears! SPL is a lifestyle as we said, so as soon as
you have installed your first pair of PM2 you will want to add two more and
two more after that, and that’s OK. The SPL addiction is real!
POWER OF PAPER
We’re referring to the pressed paper cone, of course. The HAD PH2-64/84/104 is
made for playing your favorite music, as LOUD as possible. We wanted this
midrange driver to take it to the next level, so we added a bigger (1.5″}
voice coil. When testing this crazy driver we noticed one thing: for that
extra durability, the paper cone needed to be reinforced which it has!
DOING IT THE SPL WAY
You can do better than two speakers. Come on! Hore is always better, and we
want you to be as LOUD as you possibly can. To make this easier, we’ve placed
two gold plated terminals on the speaker. This makes it easier to add a
speaker to your setup, or a tweeter. The choice is yours, but be sure to make
a kickass build that’ll make GAS proud.
HOW TO
INSTALL SPEAKERS
Before installing your brand new speakers, 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 MAD PM2 series uses a single 4 Ohm voice coil. If you want to connect four
or more PM2 series 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.
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.
