Gain Control Setting
To correctly set the gain control of the amplifier to match that of the source
(headunit) use the following setup routine:
• Turn the gain control to minimum on the amplifier.
• On the headunit set all crossovers to flat and both bass and treble to zero.
• Turn up the source (headunit) to approximately 3/4 volume.
• Very slowly turn up the gain on the amplifier until distortion can be heard in
any of the speakers or until the volume reaches an uncomfortable listening
level when this is reached turn down the gain control slightly.
• Do not increase the level so much that the subwoofer is driven into
distortion as this will cause damage to the product that will not be covered
under warranty.
The gain control is now set.
Crossover Setting
All VIBE CVEN active enclosures come with a built in frequency control. This
will allow you to set the frequency at which the crossover filter will take affect.
It is variable from 50 Hz - 150 Hz. 50 Hz will produce only low frequencies,
very deep bass. Whilst 150 Hz will produce low and higher punchy bass
frequencies. In the correct set up the bass should not be overly prominent,
although some users may wish to have a bigger bass presence.
To set this correctly follow the following routine:
• Firstly set the gain control correctly as described above.
• Play a known piece of dynamic music through the entire system.
• Use the frequency control to blend the frequencies from the subwoofer
into the rest of the vehicle so that the bass coming from the enclosure
disappears or blends in with the rest of the car speakers.
The crossover is now set.
