2. Informazzjoni dwar is-Sigurtà

Dejjem osserva l-prekawzjonijiet tas-sigurtà li ġejjin:

• Disconnect the vehicle's battery before installing any audio components to prevent electrical shorts.
• Ensure all wiring is properly insulated and secured to prevent damage and short circuits.
• Avoid installing the subwoofer in locations where it may be exposed to moisture or excessive heat.
• Uża wajers ta' daqs xieraq għall-konnessjonijiet tal-enerġija u tal-ispikers biex timmaniġġja r-rekwiżiti tal-enerġija tas-subwoofer.
• Espożizzjoni fit-tul għal livelli għoljin ta’ pressjoni tal-ħoss tista’ tikkawża ħsara permanenti fis-smigħ. Oqgħod attent meta taġġusta l-livelli tal-volum.

3. X'hemm fil-Kaxxa

Meta tiftaħ il-pakkett, ivverifika li l-oġġett li ġej huwa inkluż:

4. Installazzjoni

4.1 Konsiderazzjonijiet tal-Immuntar

The KICKER CompQ12 subwoofer requires a suitable enclosure for optimal performance. Ensure the mounting location provides adequate space and structural integrity to support the subwoofer's weight and output.

• Fond tal-Immuntar: 7-1/8 pulzieri (18.1 ċm)
• Dimensjonijiet tal-Prodott (Ġenerali): Approximately 13.78"D x 13.78"W x 11.81"H (This refers to the overall package/product dimensions, not just the subwoofer itself. For mounting, the diameter and depth are key.)
• Daqs tal-Kelliem: 12 Pulzier
• Dijametru tas-subwoofer: 12.5 Pulzier

Ensure the enclosure provides sufficient internal volume and is constructed from sturdy materials to prevent resonance and air leaks.

4.2 Wiring the Dual Voice Coil (DVC) Subwoofer

The CompQ12 features a Dual Voice Coil (DVC) design with a 2-Ohm impedance per coil. This allows for flexible wiring configurations to match various amplifier loads. Always verify your amplifier's stable impedance range before wiring.

Common Wiring Configurations for a DVC 2-Ohm Subwoofer:

• Tagħbija ta' 1 Ohm (Wajers Paralleli): Qabbad it-terminals pożittivi taż-żewġ voice coils flimkien, u t-terminals negattivi taż-żewġ voice coils flimkien. Imbagħad qabbad il-pożittiv magħqud mal- ampl-output pożittiv tal-lifer u n-negattiv ikkombinat għall- amplifier's negative output. This configuration results in a 1-Ohm load, suitable for amplifiers stable at 1-Ohm.
• Tagħbija ta' 4 Ohm (Wajers tas-Serje): Connect the positive terminal of one voice coil to the negative terminal of the other voice coil. Then connect the remaining free positive terminal to the amplifier's positive output and the remaining free negative terminal to the amplifier's negative output. This configuration results in a 4-Ohm load, suitable for amplifiers stable at 4-Ohm.

The subwoofer features high-capacity, dual voice-coil push terminals designed to accommodate up to 8-gauge wire for secure and efficient current flow.

5. Operazzjoni

Once properly installed and wired, the KICKER CompQ12 subwoofer is ready for operation. Ensure your amplifier settings (gain, crossover, bass boost) are correctly configured to prevent damage to the subwoofer and achieve desired sound quality.

• Continuous Power Handling (RMS): 850 Watts
• Rispons tal-Frekwenza: 20 – 100 Hz
• Impedenza ratata: 2 Ohms (per voice coil)

Start with low volume levels and gradually increase, listening for any signs of distortion. Adjust amplifier settings as needed. The subwoofer is designed to handle significant power, but exceeding its RMS rating or driving it into audible distortion can cause damage.

6. Manutenzjoni

The KICKER CompQ12 subwoofer requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure its longevity:

• Keep the subwoofer cone and surround free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Avoid exposing the subwoofer to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for extended periods.
• Regularly check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
• Do not apply any chemicals or solvents to the subwoofer's cone or surround.
