Safety Instructions

Please read all notes and warnings in this manual.
These will not only inform you about possible damage or injury, but also about possible functions and settings.

Our products are only suitable for users with the necessary specialist knowledge. The relevant safety regulations for load-bearing body parts, regulations on internal vehicle safety, as well as the regulations of the responsible vehicle manufacturers (general operating licence) must be observed.

Hearing damage: Sustained, excessive volume levels of over 85 dB can permanently impair hearing. Stereo systems are capable of producing sound pressure level of over 85 dB.
Sound level and perception: The use of stereo systems can impede the hearing of important sounds and signals in traffic and thus lead to hazards while driving. GLADEN assumes no responsibility for hearing damage, physical injury or property damage resulting from the use or misuse of its products. Working on vehicles: Do not operate vehicles un l all retrofitted components (speaker boxes, speakers, amplifier, DSP, …) are securely installed. Loose parts can become dangerous (flying) projectiles in the event of a sudden driving maneuver or an accident. Do not drill or screw into vehicle panels or sheet metal un l you are sure that there are no important parts, cables or lines underneath. Pay attention to things like fuel, brake, oil lines and electrical cables as preparation for installation when planning the system. Disconnect the earth terminal (-) from the vehicle battery (auxiliary batteries) before star ng installation to avoid possible short circuits. If body panels are to be machined or removed for mounting the speakers or amplifiers, contact an appropriate specialist workshop. In the event of damage to load-bearing bodywork parts, the opera ng permit may be invalidated! Be careful when removing interior panels. The vehicle manufacturers use a wide variety of fastening elements (clips, screws, rivets, …) which can be damaged or may be damaged during dismantling (dents or scratches on surfaces (e.g. metal sheets may rust)).

Electricity danger! DO NOT touch the connections of the amplifier or the speakers during opera on!
Electric and hybrid vehicles! There is danger to life! Do not any work on the electrical system by yourself!

Information on disposal of old electrical and electronic equipment (applicable for countries that have adopted separate waste collection systems): Products with the symbol (crossed-out wheeled bin) cannot be disposed of as household waste. Old electrical and electronic equipment should be recycled at a special waste facility. Contact your local authority for details in locating a recycle facility nearest to you. Proper recycling and waste disposal will help conserve resources whilst preventing detrimental effects on your health and the environment. This product can be disposed of with the used car together. In this case don’t remove it from the car.

Thank you for choosing a GLADEN RSX SLIM Line- Subwoofer.

Each GLADEN RSX SLIM Line- Subwoofer chassis has been carefully designed and built to meet the high demands in the vehicle.

Please read the information in this document carefully to get the most out of your GLADEN RSX SLIM Line – Subwoofers.
When opera ng the GLADEN RSX SLIM Line- Subwoofers, we recommend that you achieve a good power match between the subwoofer amplifier and the subwoofer driver.
The power specifications listed in each case represent the continuous (RMS) amplifier power per subwoofer and assumes that the user regularly fully utilizes this power without drastically overdriving the amplifier (clipping).

For optimal bass reproduction, the input sensitivity of the amplifier must be set to avoid excessive distortion (clipping) at the amplifier output. Excessive input sensitivity settings will not only lead to overloading, but also to poor sound quality and reduced speaker reliability.
With subwoofers, an overdriven amplifier can be noticeable as a soft, “mechanical” noise from the speakers. Correctly setting the input sensitivity avoids this problem.
