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

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! More 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.
