Setting up the subwoofer tube
In
order
to
achieve a balanced sound, we recommend
that
you configure
the
amplifier
as
follows.
1.
First set
the
volume
control
to
minimum
and
the
cross-
over control
to
its
middle
position.
2.
Now
play some music on
your
car sound system
that
you are very
familiar
with
and
that
contains some
low
bass
(e.g
.
pop
music).
Now
slowly increase
the
volume
of
the
subwoofer
until
you
feel
that
the
sound
of
the
music
is
well
balanced,
i.e.
the
bass
is
neither
too
weak
nor overpowering.
3.
Now listen
to
the relationship between deep male voices
and the
upper
bass and
also
take
note
of
the
relationship
between
the
upper
bass
(kick
bass)
and
the
lower
bass.
The
bass
should
ideally
sound crisp and have a clear
low
bass
component,
and
male
voices should
neither
sound
too
weak nor should they
billow
out.
If
you are happy
with
the
sound then you are already finished
with
the
setup
process.
If
not,
continue
as
described in points 4 and
5.
4. If
male voices seem
to
billow
out
or
the
low
bass
is
too
weak, you
should
turn
the
crossover
control
slightly
towards
minimum
and
then
resume making your adjust-
ments
as
described in
point
2 onwards.
5.
If
the
bass
sounds
low
but
dirty
and
booming
or
the
male
voices sound
too
weak, you should
turn
the
crossover
control
slightly
towards
maximum.
Furthermore, you
should set the phase control (if present)
so
that
the
upper
bass
sounds
as
powerful
as
possible. Next, resume making
your adjustments
as
described in
point
2 onwards.
