4.2 Wiring Configurations (Dual 4 Ohm Voice Coil)

The TXX-BD3-12 features a dual 4-ohm voice coil, offering flexibility in wiring to match your amprequisits d'impedància del lificador. Assegureu-vos sempre que ampEl lifter és estable a la impedància escollida.

Important: Incorrect wiring can damage your ampamplificador o subwoofer.

Series Wiring (8 Ohms Total)

Connecteu el terminal positiu de la bobina mòbil 1 al terminal negatiu de la bobina mòbil 2. A continuació, connecteu el ampla sortida positiva del lificador al terminal positiu de la bobina de veu 1, i el amplifier's negative output to the negative terminal of Voice Coil 2. This configuration results in an 8-ohm load.

(Diagram for series wiring would typically be included here)

Parallel Wiring (2 Ohms Total)

Connect the positive terminal of Voice Coil 1 to the positive terminal of Voice Coil 2. Connect the negative terminal of Voice Coil 1 to the negative terminal of Voice Coil 2. Then, connect the ampla sortida positiva del lificador als terminals positius combinats, i el amplifier's negative output to the combined negative terminals. This configuration results in a 2-ohm load.

4.3 Connexió a un Ampmés viu

1. Assegureu-vos el amplifier is turned off and the vehicle's battery is disconnected.
2. Connect the subwoofer's wired terminals to the amplifier's subwoofer output terminals, observing correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
3. Use appropriate gauge speaker wire for the power levels and distance.
4. Assegureu totes les connexions per evitar desconnexions accidentals o curtcircuits.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1 Initial Power-Up and Break-in

After installation, reconnect the vehicle's battery and power on your audio system. It is recommended to allow a break-in period for new subwoofers. During this period (typically 10-20 hours of play time), operate the subwoofer at moderate volume levels. This allows the suspension components (surround and spider) to loosen up and reach their optimal compliance, improving long-term performance and reliability.

5.2 AmpConfiguració del lifier

Adequat amplifier settings are crucial for sound quality and subwoofer longevity.

• Configuració de guany: Ajusteu el amplifier's gain control carefully. This is not a volume knob; it matches the amplifier's input sensitivity to the head unit's output voltage. Set it to achieve maximum clean output without distortion.
• Filtre de pas baix (LPF): Configura l'LPF al teu amplifier or head unit to filter out high frequencies from the subwoofer. A common range is 60-100 Hz, but this can vary based on your system and preference.
• Subsonic Filter (High-Pass Filter): If available, set a subsonic filter to protect the subwoofer from playing frequencies below its resonant frequency, which can cause excessive excursion and damage. A common setting is 25-30 Hz.
• Intensificació dels sons més greus: Use bass boost sparingly, if at all. Excessive bass boost can lead to distortion and damage.

6. Manteniment

Your Audiopipe TXX-BD3-12 subwoofer requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-lasting performance.

• Neteja: Periodically wipe the subwoofer cone and surround with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
• Inspecció: Regularly inspect the subwoofer for any signs of damage, such as tears in the surround or cone, loose connections, or unusual odors. Address any issues promptly.
• Medi ambient: Ensure the subwoofer is not exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods or extreme temperature fluctuations, which can degrade materials over time.
