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 until 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 until 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 starting 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 operating 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 operation!
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 RS Line- Subwoofer.
Each GLADEN RS 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 RS Line – Subwoofers.
When operating the GLADEN RS 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).
Performance recommendation for trouble-free operation
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.
