and begins to distort but yet with low frequencies you are able to turn up the bass without
distortion. In this case, you would go back to the beginning of the setup instructions, get
the woofer playing at a modest level and then swing in some bass boost until the distortion
happens at the same volume level, regardless of the music you are playing. Then, you
would set the gain with the bass boost control in that position – to take account of that level
of boost. You should not increase the bass boost once you have already set the gain level –
you’ll overdrive the amplifier and burn something out.
For the physical installation we recommend that suitable luggage straps (not supplied) be
used to secure the unit to the luggage strap mounting points in the vehicle. It is very
important that the vehicle is not driven unless the enclosure is mounted safely.
In the case of our under seat models the unit car be mounted using other methods but in
any event it should be secure and safe. If you are installing the unit under a seat then
obviously the woofer will be close to the seat above it – this will create some acoustic
loading on the unit which will help to add to the cone control.
If you are installing in another location such as the boot, then before you commit to
fastening the unit in please give consideration to facing the woofer into a solid surface such
as a boot floor or corner. As an initial starting point, allow approximately 3” clearance
between the woofer and the side of the vehicle. After the installation is complete you can
experiment with moving the woofer closer and further away from the side. As you do this,
you MUST be listening sat in the driver’s seat as you won’t hear the effects of phase change
