Caution
Do not expose this product to dampness or moisture – doing so may result in
damage to the product. Before wiring disconnects, the cable from the positive
battery terminal – failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury.
Ensure good and correct connections – failure to make the correct connections
may result in fire or damage to the product. Do not use any functions of this
equipment that may take your concentration away from driving your vehicle – do
not set up your amplifier whilst driving, doing so may result in an accident.
For prolonged setting up, make sure that your vehicle is stationary and in a
safe location. Keep the volume at a level so you can still hear outside noise
– failure to do this may result in an accident. VIBE equipment is capable of
producing sound levels that can permanently damage your hearing. VIBE
recommends caution when listening at a high volume. For safe and enjoyable
listening the sound should be comfortable and clear without distortion.
Wiring Connections
Please follow the wiring diagram below and ensure that correct polarity is observed as incorrect wiring may cause the subwoofer to be out of phase with the rest of the system and result in a loss of bass.
Run In Procedure
VIBE recommends that you follow the run-in procedure for the subwoofer detailed below. When your subwoofer is used for the first time, like most brand new items it is naturally very stiff and rigid. It will take time for the moving parts of this subwoofer to loosen up before the subwoofer will be ready to deliver its full potential. For the first thirty hours, it is recommended that you play the subwoofer at low to medium volumes, gradually increasing the volume level as time progresses. As a guide, if you listen to your subwoofer for one hour every day it will take a month for the subwoofer to run properly.
You will notice a big change in the sound of the subwoofer over this period. As the spider and surround begin to run in, the sound will get deeper and harder, also the output of the subwoofer will increase as the suspension loosens up. The subwoofer is like your car’s engine, it needs a few thousand miles before you can drive it to its full potential. Driving it into the redline from the first day will mean engine damage is certain and will not be covered by warranty. Failure to follow this simple procedure is the most common reason for a subwoofer to fail after a very short period of time.
