    6. Frequency Knob: Adjusts the crossover frequency from 40 ~ 200 Hz, for audio input from either the Low Level or High Level inputs. 7. Volume Knob: Adjusts the volume level of the subwoofer relative to other speakers in the system. The overall volume level will increase or decrease, depending on the volume setting on the amplifier.

    SPEAKER BREAK-IN In the same way that a new car requires a break-in period before it can be safely operated at high engine RPMs, speakers require a break-in period before they can be safely operated at maximum volume levels. Proper break-in ensures that the moving parts of the speaker (the cone and cone suspension) are allowed to flex and soften, losing the initial stiffness and allowing the speaker to move through its full intended range.
