Please take the time to read these instructions carefully as they contain useful and important information.
- Page 3 Before we move to the design and installation of the subwoofer it is important to understand about woofer power handling. The Indy S models are rated for continuous operation at our quoted numbers. It is, however, the system designer that is responsible for choosing equipment that works in harmony together - speaker, enclosure, amplifier and source unit as well as setup.
- Page 4 advice. Please do not guess the box size as it is a very important part of your success with the product. For the construction of the enclosure we recommend the use of MDF or Weather Proof Ply Board (WBP) in 18mm thickness as a minimum. Do not construct bass boxes from chip board.
- Page 5 complex setup of multiple amplifiers driving multiple coils or speakers you MUST meter the amplifiers at various levels to ensure the voltages at the coils are equal. Imbalance in this area will at best cost you SPL and at worst will damage your equipment. 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.
- Page 6 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 filter and a 100Hz low pass filter. Whilst these will not produce optimum results in every case they will certainly be enough to get you up and running.
- Page 7 Once the speaker is installed and working it is vitally important to follow a break in procedure. On the Indy S woofers we recommend 20 hours of free air playing with a 20Hz tone as the best possible start. At the start of the break in you should ensure that the speaker is moving to - but not beyond - its maximum excursion.
