Running-in time

Allow the subwoofer to play for at least 
15-20 hours in order to perform at it´s 
absolute best. This run-in can be made with 
bass tone sweep or with just music. Start at 
a moderate volume and increase the 
volume step by step during the running in 
period. After the 15-20 hour run in session 
the performance and characteristics will be 
in the correct condition.

Enclosure info

This subwoofer is normally designed for 
enclosure mounting. In ”open air” installa-
tions the power handling capacity is 
reduced by more than 30% from the 
nominal value. We do not recommend 
using an ”open air” installation for the PS10 
subwoofer.

DLS support

For technical assistance, ask your car 
audio dealer where the product was sold or 
the distributor in your country. You can 
always contact the DLS Helpdesk in 
Sweden at this e-mail: [email protected]
Information can also be found on our 
WEB-site www.dls.se We follow a policy of 
continuous advancement in development. 
For this reason, all or part of specifications 
& designs may be changed without prior 
notice.

Build your enclosure in a stable and airtight 
material. MDF-board or particle board, 
19-25mm is two good choices. Larger 
enclosures must have bracing inside to 
avoid vibrations. The enclosure must be 
completely airtight. Use sealing compound 
in all joints, also around the cable 
terminals. The size of the enclosure is 
decided and calculated by the electro- 
acoustic parameters of the woofer. 

DLS recommends that you should choose 
the enclosure you will use based on the 
type of music you listen to, how much 
amplifier power you will use for the 
subwoofer and how much space inside the 
vehicle you can devote to a subwoofer 
enclosure.

Note! PS10 has a design with “open voice 
coil” for improved cooling. This construc-
tion gives the  best sound performance. To 
prevent dirt from entering the voice coil 
gap, follow these instructions: 

• Keep the subwoofer in the plastic bag 
until it is time for installation.

• Carefully clean the enclosure inside with 
a vacuum cleaner before mounting the 
speaker,
