SOUND CHECK
RECOMMENDED POWER
The XL-POD65 is designed to handle up to 75 watts RMS (continuous) and 150 watts maximum (peak) of
input power.
The XL-POD8 is designed to handle up to 100 watts RMS (continuous) and 200 watts maximum (peak) of
input power.
Therefore an outboard amplifier optimized at 4-ohms will be necessary to drive this system. You will want
to use an amplifier powerful enough to provide listening comfort. Generally speaking, an amplifier with the
same or slightly higher power rating than the RMS power handling should be selected.
CROSSOVER SETTINGS
The Wake Pod system is designed for full range listening enjoyment. If your amplifier includes an electric
(active) crossover, experiment using the settings in High Pass or the Full position. Optimum adjustment can be
achieved after listening to your favorite music and varying the crossover frequency.
BREAK IN PERIOD
To get the most from your woofer we recommend a “break-in” period of at least 40 hours at no more than
1/3 of maximum volume. During this time the cone and spider assembly will gradually break in resulting in
greater performance and more listening enjoyment.
CAUTION:
Damage to the woofers can occur when an amplifier, regardless of its wattage, is made to play
at higher listening levels than its power can clearly produce (usually beyond the “1 to 2 o’clock” position on
the volume control). This results in very high levels of audible distortion. Contrary to popular belief, a speaker
is more likey to be damaged by trying to get too much volume from a low-powered amp than from a high-
powered amp.
