Thank you for choosing Bassface. From the simplest connector to our top of the range
amplifier - every element of these products has been designed to give you the best possible
performance for your money. Please take the time to read these instructions carefully as
they contain useful and important information. Modern high power audio systems can
generate voltages at the speaker similar to mains operated equipment – for some reason
everyone seems to ignore or forget this. Your wiring needs to be good to be safe. Please
remember this and take your time. Please exercise caution when setting volume levels –
powerful audio equipment can easily produce enough sound to permanently damage
hearing. Remember that audio competitors use ear protection when operating and
competing. Do remember that incorrect installation or abuse is not covered under warranty
– please make sure that your installation and any partnered product is suitable and
compatible. If you are unsure please seek qualified advice before proceeding. Always use
appropriate hand and eye protection when working with tools, and always work within your
capabilties as an installer. We offer a 12 month manufacturer warranty via your distributor
or retailer. Please retain your purchase receipt as proof of purchase. Please note that
Bassface operates a policy of continuous product development and we reserve the right to
change specification without prior notice. You can follow our process on our website by
reviewing the version history information.
Please note that we sometimes include information inside these manuals which we feel is of
potential value to the client on related subjects such as conversion charts, capacitance
values or wiring diagrams. Please feel free to copy any of this information since it is in the
public domain.
Before we move to the design and installation of the subwoofer it is important to
understand about woofer power handling. When we rate a speaker for power, we are
aiming to give the customer a good indication of the level of power that the speaker will be
able to cope with as a maximum value, when installed into a closed field environment (a
car!) using a suitably designed bass enclosure and running an intelligently set subsonic
filter and low pass crossover and when fed from an amplifier that is outputting clean, crisp
power (not a load of distortion!). To be clear, we are not attempting to rate for "continous"
or "indefinite" performance - we are rating for a genuine, RMS value over the short term,
rather like what you might do to enjoy one song at absolute maximum level, or at the other
end of the spectrum if you are competing in sound pressure contests we are offering you
