Connexions de cablejat
Ensure all wiring is done with appropriate gauge wire and proper polarity. Incorrect wiring can damage the subwoofer or your amplifier. The Spike Series 12" subwoofer is available in 2-Ohm or 4-Ohm configurations. Match the subwoofer's impedance to your amplifier's stable impedance rating.
Connecteu el terminal positiu (+) del subwoofer a la sortida positiva (+) del vostre ampl'amplificador i el terminal negatiu (-) del subwoofer a la sortida negativa (-) del vostre ampmés viu.

Funcionament del subwoofer
Un cop instal·lat, l'ajustament adequat del vostre amplifier and head unit is essential for optimal sound quality and to prevent damage to the subwoofer. Start with low volume levels and gradually increase them while listening for any distortion.
- Configuració de guany: Estableix el teu ampguany del lificador correctament per coincidir amb el volum de sortidatage de la unitat principal. Eviteu configurar el guany massa alt, ja que això pot provocar retalls i danys.
- Configuració de crossover: Feu servir un filtre de pas baix (LPF) al vostre ampamplificador o unitat principal per enviar només baixes freqüències al subwoofer. Un punt de partida comú és de 80-100 Hz.
- Filtre subsònic: Si el teu amplifier has a subsonic filter, enable it to protect the subwoofer from playing frequencies below its resonant frequency, which can cause excessive excursion.
- Període d'entrada: Allow a break-in period of approximately 20-30 hours of normal listening before pushing the subwoofer to its maximum capabilities. This allows the suspension components to loosen up and perform optimally.
Manteniment
Your AudioControl Spike Series subwoofer requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-lasting performance.
- Neteja: Feu servir un drap suau i sec per netejar el con i l'entorn del subwoofer. Eviteu utilitzar productes químics agressius o netejadors abrasius.
- Cura de la graella: The removable grille can be cleaned with a soft brush or vacuum to remove dust and debris.
