- Page 1 IndyA8/4 8" 1x4Ohm SVC 200WRMS Quality Subwoofer For Sealed Enclosures Instruction manual...
- Page 2 Thank you for choosing Bassface. From the simplest connector to our top of the range amplifier - every element of these products has been designed to give you the best possible performance for your money. Please take the time to read these instructions carefully as they contain useful and important information.
- Page 3 Before tackling the installation of the speaker, it is CRITICALLY important to follow at least a basic break in procedure for the speaker. This operation will loosen up the moving components of the speaker which will prepare it for heavy use. Failure to run a proper break in can be responsible for failures such as ripped spiders, surrounds or tinsel leads.
- Page 4 run the speaker for, say, an hour, recheck by switching everything off and pressing the cone. You will feel that it is much softer. You should then run for another hour to complete the initial break in. From here many more experienced people will wish to adopt their own preferred break in procedure which is of course fine.
- Page 5 The first consideration is enclosure design. This is a complicated and technical subject. You can use our recommended box design where we quote one, or approach your distributor for advice. Please do not guess the box size as it is a very important part of your success with the product.
- Page 6 When running more than one woofer in a mono configuration we recommend that you share enclosure space and keep the speakers as close together as possible in the baffle. This tends to do the most effective job of allowing the speakers to act as a single piston, moving the optimum amount of air.
- Page 7 You'll be referring to our data and speaking to our distributors to choose a box design, but some general information is that a larger box will tend to give more low bass but at the expense of some power handling. If you are lucky enough to have a large and powerful amplifier then you will be able to run the subwoofer harder in a more controlled fashion.
- Page 8 Every subwoofer installation needs a crossover function - the precise settings are a subject of discussion for each particular setup but a good starting point is to work with a 25Hz subsonic (low pass) filter and a 100Hz high pass filter. Whilst these will not produce optimum results in every case they will certainly be enough to get you up and running.
- Page 9 Once the speaker is installed and working it is vitally important to follow a break in procedure. On smaller woofers with single spiders a short break in period of a few hours at medium volume, making sure the woofer is not in any way stressed, will result in a satisfactory loosening of the components.
