6. Funtzionamendu-argibideak
After installation, follow these steps to configure your subwoofer for optimal sound.
6.1 Initial Power-Up and Gain Adjustment
- Turn on your car radio. The subwoofer's POWER STATUS LED should illuminate green. If it's red or off, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
- Set the GAIN control on the subwoofer to its minimum position.
- Play a piece of music with a good bass presence through your car radio.
- Slowly increase the volume on your car radio until it reaches about 75% of its maximum level, or just before distortion becomes audible from your main speakers.
- Gradually increase the GAIN control on the subwoofer until the bass blends smoothly with your main speakers without overpowering them or sounding distorted.
6.2 Adjusting Audio Controls
- LOW-PASS Filter (50Hz - 180Hz): This control determines the highest frequency the subwoofer will reproduce. Start by setting it around 80-100Hz. Adjust it to blend the subwoofer's output with your main speakers. If your main speakers are small, you might set it higher; if they are large, you might set it lower.
- SUBSONIC Filter (20Hz - 50Hz): This high-pass filter for the subwoofer removes very low, inaudible frequencies. Setting it around 25-30Hz can improve efficiency and prevent damage from extreme low-frequency content.
- BASS-BOOST (0 - +18dB): Use this control sparingly to add a slight emphasis to the bass if desired. Excessive boost can lead to distortion.
- FASEA (0° - 180°): This switch helps integrate the subwoofer's output with your main speakers. Listen to music with strong bass and switch between 0° and 180°. Choose the setting that provides the most impactful and cohesive bass response.
