Recommendation
A power subwoofer’s performance is only as good as its installation. Proper
installation will maximize the system’s overall performance. It is recommended
that you have our product installed by an authorized DB Drive retailer.
However, if you decide to install it yourself, please carefully read through
this manual and take your time to do a quality installation.
IMPORTANT! Before making any connections, disconnect the car’s battery until the installation is completed to avoid possible damage to the electrical system.
WARNING!
Exposure to a high-power sound system can cause hearing loss or damage.
Listening to your system at loud levels while driving will impair your ability
to hear traffic sounds and emergency vehicles. Use common sense when listening
to your system.
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
CALCULATING ENCLOSURES
It is recommended to build your enclosure from at least 3/ 4” thick MDF (medium-density fiberboard). Make sure the enclosure is sealed airtight.
Calculating External Volume
- To calculate box volume, measure the outside Width x Height x Depth of the enclosure. Example 12” x 14” x 9”=1512 ÷ 1728” Cubic feet
- Next, you must convert cubic inches into cubic feet. To do this, you must divide the cubic inches total by 1728”. Example 1512 ÷ 1728=.875 Cubic feet
Calculating Internal Volume
- To calculate the internal (net) volume of the above box you must first multiply the thickness of the wood you are using by Two(2). Example 3/4” x 2= 1.5“
- Next, subtract 1.5 from each of the outside measurements of the box.
- Multiple the new totals (H x W x D) Example: 10.5 x 12.5 x 7.5 = .5696
- Next, you must convert cubic inches into cubic feet. To do this, you must divide the cubic inch total by 1728”. Example 984.375 ÷ 1728=.5696 cubic feet.
