1. The nominal power handling is given in watts RMS and represents an effective value. This corresponds to the average power value of the subwoofer in the corresponding frequency range. The value is determined in a complex measuring process using pink noise. RMS is the abbreviation for “Root Mean Square”.
2. The music power handling represents a benchmark that reflects the performance when playing music continuously with loud and quiet passages and pauses. This takes into account that the subwoofer can always “recover” and cool down thermally due to the dynamic music playback.
3. The recommended amplifier power depends on the actual output power of the amplifier, which also depends on the connected on-board voltage. In principle, an amplifier should always have around 20-30% more power than the nominal power handling of the speaker specified in RMS in order to avoid distortion or clipping in the audio signal, otherwise the speaker’s voice coil could be damaged.

INSTALLATION

• The subwoofer system must be installed in the space under the passenger seat.
• First, detach the passenger seat from its console so that the sound system can be guided into the free space from above.
• Now lay the connection cable(s) from the amplifier to the connection of the subwoofer system and connect it/them.
• Then adjust the subwoofer system in the free space so that the flat, pointed side faces the direction of travel. Make sure the subwoofer system is seated correctly.
• Then attach the two metal brackets to the seat console as shown above right.
• Then screw 4 self-tapping screws for each metal bracket into the housing of the subwoofer system as shown above right. Make sure that the subwoofer system is screwed tightly.
• Finally, reinstall the passenger seat securely and firmly on the seat console.

IMPORTANT NOTES PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

• • The subwoofer system is only designed for installation under the passenger seat.
• • Make sure that the subwoofer system is attached as described in the following assembly instructions and that it cannot become loose while driving.
• All cables should be kept as short as possible to avoid losses and interference.
• Protect the device from moisture, dust and dirt.
• When installing and fastening the device, make sure that no components of the vehicle (airbags, seat belts, cable harnesses, fuel tank, etc.) are damaged.
• Please do not screw any other devices such as amplifiers onto the housing. This could damage the electronics.
• The performance and reliability of the sound system depends on the quality of the installation. It is best to have the installation carried out by an installation specialist.
