Fiação e AmpCorrespondência de amplificadores:
These subwoofers feature a single 4-ohm voice coil. Ensure your amplifier is stable at a 4-ohm load per channel or when wired in parallel/series for multiple subwoofers to achieve the desired impedance. The recommended RMS power range is 50-150 watts per subwoofer. Overpowering or underpowering can lead to damage.

4. Instruções de operação
Após a instalação, ajuste corretamente o seu amplifier and head unit is essential for optimal sound quality and to prevent damage to your subwoofers.
- Configuração de ganho: Defina o amplifier gain according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically by matching it to the output voltage of your head unit. Avoid setting the gain too high, as this can introduce distortion and damage the subwoofers.
- Configurações de cruzamento: Use o filtro passa-baixa (LPF) no seu amplifier or head unit to send only low frequencies to the subwoofers. A common starting point is 80-100 Hz.
- Reforço de graves: Use bass boost sparingly, if at all. Excessive bass boost can lead to clipping and damage.
- Período de amaciamento: Allow a break-in period of several hours of moderate listening before playing at high volumes. This allows the subwoofer's suspension to loosen up, improving performance.
