WARNING
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO DAMP OR MOISTURE - doing so may result in fire,
shock or damage to the product.
BEFORE WIRING DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL -
failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury.
ENSURE GOOD AND CORRECT CONNECTIONS - failure to make the correct connections
may result in fire or damage to the product.
DO NOT USE ANY FUNCTIONS OF THIS EQUIPMENT THAT MAY TAKE YOUR
CONCENTRATION AWAY FROM DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE - do not set up your amplifier
whilst driving, doing so may result in an accident. For prolonged setting up, make sure that
your vehicle is stationary and in a safe location.
KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL SO YOU CAN STILL HEAR OUTSIDE NOISE - failure to do
this may result in an accident. EDGE equipment is capable of producing sound levels that can
permanently damage your hearing. EDGE recommends caution when listening at high volume.
For safe and enjoyable listening the sound should be comfortable and clear without distortion.
CAUTION
Never connect any speaker lead to the car chassis. This can cause severe damage to your
speaker /car radio /amplifier.
Before drilling or cutting any holes, investigate the layout of your vehicle thoroughly.
Use caution when working near the fuel / hydraulic lines and electrical wiring.
Observe the correct polarity when wiring, improper phasing may cause a loss of bass
response.
Ensure that no moving parts catch on the speaker or grill (e.g. window or door handles, or
window glass inside the door)
Run in procedure
EDGE recommends that you follow the run in procedure for the subwoofer detailed below.
When your Subwoofer is used for the first time, like most brand new items it is naturally very
stiff and rigid. It will take time for the moving parts of this Subwoofer to loosen up before the
Subwoofer will be ready to deliver its full potential.
For the first 30 hours it is recommended that you play the Subwoofer initially at low to medium
volumes, gradually increasing the volume level as time progresses.
As a guide, if you listen to your Subwoofer for 1 hour every day it will take a month for the
subwoofer to run in properly.
You will notice a big change in the sound of the Subwoofer over this period. As the spider and
surround begin to run in the sound will get deeper and harder, also the output of the Subwoofer
will increase as the suspension loosens up.
The Subwoofer is like your car’s engine, it needs a few thousand miles before you can drive it to
its full potential. Driving it into the redline from the first day will mean engine damage is certain
and will not be covered by warranty.
Failure to follow this simple procedure is the most common reason for a Subwoofer to fail after a
very short period of time.
Installation
The most common place to mount a bass enclosure is in the luggage compartment of the
vehicle.
Where in the luggage compartment it is mounted will have an effect on the sound produced
allowing the user to tailor the sound to best suit their musical tastes.
For example if the enclosure is mounted facing the rear bumper, the bass produced will be
noticeably deeper than if it is fired into the rear seat.
Do not be afraid to experiment with positioning as a little time and effort can yield great
improvements in sound.
NOTE -
when you have chosen your mounting position please ensure that the enclosure is se-
curely mounted in place and cannot move or come into contact with objects in the luggage area
as damage to the enclosure or subwoofer will not be covered under warranty.
It is also advisable to use additional luggage straps to secure the enclosure
