Informació de seguretat

• Desconnecteu sempre la bateria del vehicle abans de realitzar qualsevol treball elèctric.
• Assegureu-vos que totes les connexions del cablejat estiguin ben fixades i degudament aïllades per evitar curtcircuits.
• Mount the subwoofer securely within the vehicle to prevent movement during driving, which could cause injury or damage.
• Eviteu exposar el subwoofer a una humitat excessiva o a temperatures extremes.
• Consulteu un instal·lador professional d'àudio per a cotxes si no teniu clar quins passos d'instal·lació.

Wiring Your Subwoofer

The AC12D features dual 4-ohm voice coils, offering flexible wiring options to achieve different impedance loads for your amplifier. Refer to the diagram below for common wiring configurations.

• Parallel Wiring (Single Subwoofer): Connect the positive terminals of both voice coils together, and the negative terminals of both voice coils together. This results in a 2-ohm load.
• Series Wiring (Single Subwoofer): Connect the positive terminal of one voice coil to the negative terminal of the other voice coil. The remaining positive and negative terminals are then connected to the ampamplificador. Això resulta en una càrrega de 8 ohms.
• Multiple Subwoofers: For multiple subwoofers, combine the parallel and series wiring techniques to achieve the desired final impedance (e.g., 4-ohm or 1-ohm total load). Always ensure the ampEl lifter és estable a la impedància escollida.

Use appropriate gauge wiring for power, ground, and speaker connections to prevent power loss and ensure safety.

Instruccions de funcionament

Once installed, connect the subwoofer to a compatible amplificador. Assegureu-vos el amplifier's gain settings are properly adjusted to prevent distortion and damage to the subwoofer. Start with low volume and gradually increase it, listening for any signs of distortion. The AC12D is designed to handle a maximum of 1800 watts peak power and 900 watts RMS power.

• Període d'entrada: Allow a break-in period of several hours of moderate use before operating the subwoofer at high volumes. This allows the suspension components to loosen and perform optimally.
• AmpCoincidència de lifier: For best performance, pair this subwoofer with a Planet Audio or Boss Audio amplifier that can deliver sufficient power at the chosen impedance.
• Configuració de crossover: Utilitza el teu amplifier's or head unit's low-pass filter (LPF) to send only low frequencies to the subwoofer, typically set between 80Hz and 120Hz, depending on your system and preference.

Manteniment

The Planet Audio AC12D subwoofer requires minimal maintenance.

• Mantingueu el con i l'entorn del subwoofer nets de pols i deixalles. Feu servir un drap suau i sec per netejar-lo.
• Reviseu periòdicament totes les connexions del cablejat per assegurar-vos que es mantinguin segures.
• Avoid placing heavy objects on the subwoofer or exposing it to direct sunlight for extended periods.
