Kra Pulp Cone with Carbon Fibers in Matrix : The cone and its choice of
material effect almost everything in regard to the Performance Quality of
the sub. While the cone must remain exeponally stable under the stress of
high sound pressure levels a well balanced formula of maximum sffness at
minimum weight is the prior target to go ahead. We at EXCURSION have
set our focus at this keypoint of and for success, which is the single goal for
our EXELLENCE Bastards. We have designed a very light kra pulp sandwich
cone technology with carbon fibers enforcements. This pulped sandwich
structure keeps high parts of internal air chambers which decrease weight,
but increase thickness, sffness and effect in higher damping for lower FS.
The impressiv and stylish looking of ourFull size inversed EXCURSION Dustcap:
inversed dustcap is only the welcome side effect of a very carfully research of its
sound technolgy. We are confident that we are using the lightest dustcap at this
grade of sffness on the market which close an air chamber between dustcap
and cone. Its damping and its high grade Polyproylen surface effect into this
outstanding performance our SXE Bastards fill up your car with voluminous Sound.
The symmetrical 12 Spokes Cast Design 12 Spoke oversized Cast Basket:
made our basket to the most successful Subwoofer part in industry. It
effects into wasngs to design only to be different, if the only goal of SPL
performance is affordable to go with a proven Design. We set our focus on
those parts which are really in trouble at those awaited strokes for record
sound pressure levels and are going with our Rubatek Foam Surrounds and
progressiv spiders in various combinaons in order to controle the madness
The exclusive heart of our EXCURSION EXELLENCE Bastards3" Voice Coils:
are our outstanding 4 layered Aluminium 3" Voice Coil. An economy Formula
of max. lightless at max. load-bearing capacity on reliable aluminium formers
responsible for the Allround Performance these Bastards show up. We ensured with
extra vents in the upper aluminium former a fully air cooling circle flow between pole
piece of motor and perimeter venlaon of the cast basket. This progress at every
stroke they do and keep the coil fully air condioned for maximum performance.
The motor structure of a Subwoofer drives the 500 once Motor Structure:
cone. Just like an engine of a car our fully oversized tripple stacked monster
engines allow your SXE Bastard transfer incredible Speed, turns into outstanding
resoluon, result into the Exellence at all kind of applicaons there are.
If you need the Best for All than our SXE Bastards are your Edge of EXELLENCE.

EXCURSION
It is recommend that you have your new EXCURSION SXE Sub professionally
installed by your authorizied EXCURSION dealer. This will ensure use of proper
installaon techniques & materials. If you choose to perform your own installaon,
the following instrucon will give you direcon making your purchase complete.
The factors for the port area are manifold and can not be reduced only to depend
on the cone area of the woofer that is used. But at least it is a good advice not to
go with less than 1/7 of the cone area for ported and 1/4 for bandpass enclosures.
While you are building up and tuning your sub system you should use a trial-port.
This should be longer than calculated or recommend. While tuning the system
you can find the best sounding length by shortening the port in aprox 2 cm steps.
The final tuning in the car does not only result out of what you do with the port.
Also the posion of the port in the enclosure and surrounding areas and posion
in the trunk have notable impact. The load-through of rear seats are also uncalcubale
as well size and construcon type of the car. This easy effect with different results.
Please do NOT use carpet or cloth within the port or inside the enclosure. It has
bad effects on the air flow. It is recommend to round up the ends of the port and
ensure a glossy surface where ever the air moves inside the enclosure or port.
The moving air mass will speed up and thank you by producing less side noises.
You can also prevent the port itself from resonang. The techniques are the same
as you know from building enclosures or damping doors. You can use energy
absorbing material or you can raise the sffness of the port by bracing.
To have your subwoofer system playing clear and acurate you must follow the
idea of an acouscal "dead" workplace, with just the moving cone. First of all,
the enclosure itself might be not rigid enough. In most cases you can raise the
sffness by implemenng braces, that connect in best way four walls. Or at least
sff up the baffle against back-wall. You can build enclosures with wallthickness
of many cenmetres, but bracing will have same effect with less weight! Now,
when your enclosure is sff and rigid to save you against bomb aacks, you can
put it in your trunk. Do not forget it is important to fix it in the trunk of your car.

If you are intending to use mulple subwoofers in your system, EXCURSION
recommends having seperate chambers for each subwoofer if the subwoofers
will be operated by different amplified signals. This prevent possible cancellaon.
The use of silicone rubber to seal in a speaker will void the Warranty!WARNING:
If sealing is needed to the speaker gasket, use caulking cord or vinyl weather strip.
IMPORTANT: Never cut any metal that is an integral part of an automobile`s
safety or structural support system.
NOTE: EXCURSION strongly recommends that you operate the complete audio
system at low volume before final installaon of your SXE Series Subwoofers.
This will allow a trial listening test to set maximum volume without distoron.
Make sure that all speaker wiring is fully protected from cung CAUTION:
or wear. Any short circuits developing as a result could severaley damage
the radio unit or amplifier. Make sure that all speaker wires easily reach the
speaker terminals without stress on the wire or connectors.
