3.1. Break-in Procedure

Before operating your new subwoofer under harsh conditions, it is crucial to perform a 'break-in' process. This ensures the subwoofer's components settle and perform as designed, preventing premature failure and optimizing performance.

1. Install the subwoofer into its enclosure.
2. Připojte subwoofer k vašemu amplifier with appropriate wiring.
3. Play music at a moderate volume for approximately 10-20 hours. Avoid excessive bass or high volumes during this period.
4. Gradually increase the volume and bass levels after the break-in period.

Over-driving the woofer before it has been properly broken-in can lead to premature failure and poor sound quality.
