X-PROGRAM
Subwoofers
Owners manual
Thank you for buying an X-program subwoofer.
Please read this manual before installation.
Installation
The subwoofer must be installed correctly in order to work well.
This manual will show you how to install it like a pro. Please read
the entire manual before beginning the installation.
Install the subwoofer yourself if you feel confident with our
instructions and if you have the proper tools. However if you feel
unsure, turn over the installation job to someone better suited to it.
Connection
How to connect depends on what type of amplifier you use. The
best is to follow the instructions given in the manual for the
amplifier. Most amplifiers today have built-in lowpass crossover
and possibilities to connect your subwoofer in bridge mode.
The
X-WE10
and
X-WE12
subwoofers have a 4 ohm voice coil,
if connected in bridge mode to your amplifier the resulting
impedance is 2 ohm. This means that your amplifier must be 2
ohm stable.
Make sure to connect in a way that don´t ruin the amplifier. If you
have an X-A10 or X-D11 mono amplifier it´s possible to connect
two subwoofers in parallel, these ampliers are 1 ohm stable.
We also recommend the use of a subsonic highpass filter. This
gives a better bass reproduction with less "rumble". In all X-pro-
gram amplifiers this feature is already built-in.
For wiring use high class speaker wires, min AWG11 (4 mm
2
).
For models:
X-WE10 - 10”
X-WE12 - 12”
Running-in period
Allow the speakers to play for at least 15-20 hours. After this
time the performance is correct.
Speaker grille
A red high gloss grille is included in the packing, this grille
perfectly matches the subwoofer.
The outer dimension of the basket is 266 mm for X-WE10 and
315 mm for X-WE12 if you have plans for using another type of
grill.

Subwoofer enclosures
Build your enclosure in a stable and airtight material. The best is
MDF-board, 19 mm, or particle board, 22 mm. 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
by the speaker data. The parameters of the X-program 10 and
12” subwoofers are made for vented enclosures only, The vent
port kit is included with the subwoofers.
Vented enclosures
A speaker in a vented enclosure has a higher efficiency (+3 dB)
and higher power handling capacity than in a sealed enclosure.
In a vented enclosure the sound from the speaker and the port
work together creating a higher sound level. The sound from the
port must come out in the same phase as from the speaker cone,
otherwise the result is bad.
The size of the vented enclosure is decided by the speaker data .
We advice you to follow our enclosure recommendations on next
page and use the port coming with the subwoofer for maximum
performance.
Important!
Consider the speaker weight when you do your install. Use heavy
bolts when fastening the sub to the enclosure baffle.
