CAUTION
To prevent damage to your speakers, please observe the following caution:
Your PowerBass Xtreme Super Sub is made with the highest quality materials designed for years of trouble
free performance. However, damage to the speaker can occur when the amplifier, regardless of output
power, is made to play at levels higher then it was intended. At high volume levels, if the music sounds
distorted lower the volume. The audable distortion you hear is probably originating in the amplifier which
can cause the speaker cone to move out of control and force the voice coil to bottom out and slam against
the magnet assembly. Under these circumstances it will be necessary to lower the volume to just below
the point where these symptoms occur to avoid damage to the speaker. If your amplifier has a gain control,
it would be advisable to lower this control slightly to prevent this from reoccurring.
If more volume or a higher SPL (Sound Pressure Level) is desired, you should try adding additional speak-
ers to the system. By doing so, it is possible to gain significant increases in sound pressure levels. In some
cases, you may double the system’s output without any deterioration in sound quality.
REMINDER
• This speaker is heavy, so use caution when installing or handling it.
• The subwoofer enclosure must be securely & directly attached to the vehicle.
• Speakers will become very hot when the system is operated at high power continuously
for a long period of time. Never directly touch the speakers with your bare hands until the
speakers have cooled.
• Never connect only one voice coil of this Dual Voice Coil (DVC) speaker. BOTH voice coils
must be connected to the amplifier for correct operation.
