Configuració i instal·lació
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and safety. If you are unsure about any step, consult a professional installer.
1. Requisits de la carcassa
The 515E-D4 subwoofer is designed for use in a ported enclosure. Recommended enclosure volume is 3.0 to 5.0 cubic feet. Ensure the enclosure is robustly constructed and sealed to prevent air leaks.
2. Muntatge
- Ensure the mounting surface is flat and strong enough to support the subwoofer's weight (approximately 21 pounds).
- Cut a circular opening with a diameter of 13.89 inches (35.28 cm) in the enclosure.
- Carefully place the subwoofer into the opening, aligning the mounting holes.
- Secure the subwoofer using appropriate screws, ensuring even pressure around the frame. Do not overtighten.

3. Connexions de cablejat
The 515E-D4 features dual 4-Ohm voice coils. Proper wiring is essential for matching the subwoofer's impedance to your amplifier's capabilities. Refer to your ampmanual del lificador per a càrregues d'impedància compatibles.
- Cablejat en paral·lel (2 ohms): Connecteu els terminals positius de les dues bobines de veu i els terminals negatius de les dues bobines de veu. A continuació, connecteu el positiu combinat al ampla sortida positiva del lificador i la negativa combinada a la ampsortida negativa del lificador.
- Cablejat en sèrie (8 ohms): Connecteu el terminal positiu d'una bobina mòbil al terminal negatiu de l'altra bobina mòbil. A continuació, connecteu el terminal positiu restant al ampla sortida positiva del lificador i el terminal negatiu restant al ampsortida negativa del lificador.
Ensure all connections are secure and free from shorts. Use appropriate gauge wiring for the power levels involved.

Funcionament
1. Període de rodatge
Allow a break-in period of approximately 20-30 hours of moderate use before operating the subwoofer at its maximum potential. This allows the suspension components to loosen and settle, optimizing performance and longevity.
2. AmpConfiguració del guany del lificador
Estableix el teu amplifier's gain correctly to prevent clipping, which can damage the subwoofer. Start with the gain at its minimum and slowly increase it until you hear distortion, then back off slightly. It is recommended to use an oscilloscope or a distortion detector for precise gain setting.
3. Configuració del crossover
Utilize a low-pass filter (LPF) on your amplifier or head unit to send only low frequencies to the subwoofer. A typical LPF setting for this subwoofer would be between 60Hz and 80Hz, with a slope of 12dB or 24dB per octave. Experiment to find the best integration with your main speakers.

Manteniment
The DD Audio 515E-D4 subwoofer requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure its longevity:
- Neteja: Netegeu periòdicament el con i el seu voltant amb un drap suau i sec per eliminar la pols i les restes. Eviteu utilitzar productes químics agressius o humitat excessiva.
- Inspecció: Regularly inspect the subwoofer for any signs of damage to the cone, surround, or dust cap. Check wiring connections for looseness or corrosion.
- Medi ambient: Ensure the subwoofer is installed in a stable environment, protected from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and moisture.
