5.2 Wiring and Impedance Selection
The MB1224 features selectable impedance (2 Ohm or 4 Ohm) using the included jumper cables. This allows you to configure the subwoofer to match your amplifier's capabilities. Always ensure your amplifier is stable at the selected impedance.
5.2.1 4 Ohm Wiring Configuration
To configure the subwoofer for a 4 Ohm load, connect the included jumper cable between the two positive terminals and another jumper cable between the two negative terminals. Then, connect your amplifier's positive output to one of the positive terminals and the amplifier's negative output to one of the negative terminals. Refer to Figure 3 for a visual guide.

6. Instruccions de funcionament
6.1 Període de rodatge
Allow a break-in period of approximately 10-20 hours of normal listening before operating the subwoofer at high volumes. This allows the suspension components to loosen and achieve optimal performance.
6.2 AmpConfiguració del lifier
Configurant correctament el vostre amplifier's gain, crossover, and bass boost is critical. Start with the gain at its lowest setting and slowly increase it until you achieve the desired volume without distortion. Set the low-pass filter (LPF) on your amplifier to prevent high frequencies from reaching the subwoofer, typically between 80Hz and 120Hz. Avoid excessive bass boost, as this can lead to distortion and potential damage.
7. Manteniment
The Memphis Audio MB1224 subwoofer requires minimal maintenance:
- Periodically inspect the subwoofer cone and surround for any signs of damage or wear.
- Assegureu-vos que totes les connexions del cablejat estiguin ben fixades i lliures de corrosió.
- Clean the subwoofer's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Keep the subwoofer free from dust and debris, especially if it is not enclosed.
