Much like the engine of a new automobile, a new subwoofer must go through a short but important process of “break-in” before it is run under harsh conditions. The “break-in” process will ensure the subwoofer is able to perform as it has been designed to.
This process involves subjecting the subwoofer to no more than low-to-medium volume levels for a number of hours in the enclosure. 3-4 hours is generally sufficient for the subwoofer’s suspension to loosen enough to prevent the voice coil(s) from overheating and causing failure.
The break-in period is also effective in extending subwoofer life. Over-driving the woofer before it has been properly broken-in will usually result in premature failure and poor performance.
Built-In AmplifierSystems with a built-in amplifier do not require the addition of an external amp. They already have the power to play louder. | High and Low Level InputsHigh-level inputs accept speaker output signals and low-level inputs accept pre-amp output signals to allow for the addition of amps and processors to standard factory or aftermarket source units. | MOSFET Power SupplyMetal Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors quickly switch from full to non-conduction for high efficiency output. | Class A/BOur Class-A/B amplifiers feature specific linear circuitry that increases sound quality and power output while reducing distortion and improving efficiency. |
Variable Low Pass FilterVariable low-pass filter gives you control over the frequencies that pass through to the subwoofer. | Variable Bass BoostVariable Bass Boost allows you to adjust the low bass within the boost range to just the way you like it. | Phase ControlPhase control lets you switch the speaker phase with the amp if your speakers or subwoofer are hooked up 'out of phase'. | Short ProtectionAutomatic shut-off protects the amplifier if it gets too hot or if speakers fail causing a short. |
