ຂັ້ນຕອນການຕິດຕັ້ງ

  1. ການກະກຽມດ້ານການຕິດຕັ້ງ: Cut an 11-inch diameter hole in the chosen mounting surface. Ensure there is at least 5.5 inches of clear depth behind the mounting surface.
  2. Install Back Gasket: Place the provided back gasket around the mounting flange of the subwoofer. This helps create a seal and prevents vibrations.
  3. ການເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ສາຍ: Connect the subwoofer wires to your amplifier. The 45KMF122 has a 2-Ohm voice coil. Ensure your amplifier is stable at 2 Ohms. Use marine-grade wiring and ensure all connections are properly crimped, soldered, and sealed to prevent corrosion.
  4. Mount Subwoofer: Carefully place the subwoofer into the prepared hole. Align the mounting holes.
  5. Subwoofer ທີ່ປອດໄພ: Use the provided mounting screws and clips to secure the subwoofer to the mounting surface. Tighten screws evenly to avoid warping the frame. Do not overtighten.
  6. Protective Terminal Cap: Ensure the protective terminal cap is securely in place over the wiring terminals to prevent moisture ingress and short circuits.
