Instruções de operação

1. Inicialização inicial: After all connections are made, turn on your audio system at a low volume level.

3. Configurações de cruzamento: Utilize the low-pass filter (LPF) on your amplifier or head unit to send only low-frequency signals to the subwoofer. A typical crossover point for a 10-inch subwoofer might be between 60 Hz and 100 Hz, but this can be adjusted based on your system and preference.
