EXCURSION SUBWOOFER FEATURESXT.v1
TRANSFORMER ..oen discussed, oen rejected, always difficult, unreachable.
But me does not stop. The me in which ever greater amplifier performance is
always offered cheaper and thus make new demands on entry-level and mid-size
subwoofer is not only at EXCURSION today the present. Today calls for a new
category of subwoofers that takes into account and builds new demands for more
affordable performance. Subwoofers that are similar inexpensive and affordable
can perform what was previously the upper class and thus follow up with the
same technical development of the amplifiers. It's me and demand for a new
generaon and we present this T Generaon of 8/10/12/15" TRANSFORMER
between our well known REFERENCE and EXCELLENCE series columns.
The key to Generaon T was to go beyond the limits of steel sheet basket
geometry to reliably fix beyond 350oz engines for the first me, opening the
door to superclass performance with larger 3 "coils. The goal was immediately
set on this new cost-saving plaorm without further compromises but with
economic calculaon to dominate these new borders.
So we wind our proven and venlated aluminum coil former with pure OFC
copper up to a winding height of 45mm and result with this generaon SXT
already an outperform parameters of the several more expensive first generaon
SXE and SXX series and with comparably large motors. New requirements for
centering are here in double execuon with reinforced linear NOMEX centering
perfectly locked in mulple screwed rings and blood red design. Color accents
that repeat in the seams of the oversized high-density surrounds and leering.
Of course, all other known EXCURSION standards can be found in the SXT like
our massive double 8GA/10mm² high current terminals and here with a 300oz
dual stack motor which with a necessarily extended pole plate which oversized
venlaon openings have the charm of a revolver that just wants to be charged.
TRANSFORMER or Generaon T stands for a moo and the transformaon
into a new era of subwoofer producon. With dimensions of die cast baskets,
we have exceeded the limits with our T steel basket. With powerfully punched
EXCURSION brand logos and high efficient vent structure we use T basket
across the overall 2020 concept as our plaorm for our SXR REFERENCE, SXT
TRANSFORMER and SXE EXCELLENCE subwoofer. Follows us, but note our
warning SXT could missunderstand their moo and can also transform the
shape of your car.

EXCURSION
It is recommend that you have your new EXCURSION SXT.v1 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.
For further direcon consult an authorizied EXCURSION installaon specialst
Pre-Installaon Instrucons:

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 MXT 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.
PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
Note: The tools listed below may be required for proper installaon.
* An elecric drill with drill bits
* Phillips-head and standard screwdrivers
* Crimping tool and needle-nose pliers
* Silicon sealant or closed cell weather-stripping
* Metal file, Hole saw, Tin Snips, Wire strippers
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Note: Proceed only if you are a qualified installer otherwise let your dealer do it.
* Always wear protecve eyewear when using tools
* Turn OFF all stereo and other electrical devices before you begin
* Disconenect the (-) negave lead from your vehicle`s baery.
* Keep the speakers in the package unl final installaon.
* Locate fuel lines, brake lines, oil lines, electrical cables when planning installaon.
* Check to see clearance behind the mounng surface before installing speakers.
* When running speaker wires through sheet metal, be sure to use gromments
to properly insualte the wires from metal edges.
