CLEANING INFORMATION
Due to Phoenix Gold's extensive use of automotive grade rubber materials,
we recommend detailing these rubber components just as you would any
other parts of your car.
All rubber parts have been pretreated with Meguiar's brand rubber
protectant. This ensures a rich, natural shine for your subwoofer. Over time
if your woofer’s rubber parts become dirty or loose some of their luster,
simply reapply with Meguiar's rubber protectant. This complex formula
includes cleaning agents that help remove dirt and grime and replenish that
lush, like new look.
To apply, simply wipe the subwoofer's rubbers parts (boot, mounting gasket,
etc) with Meguiar's rubber treatment. Then with a separate clean cloth buff
the remaining treatment from the woofer until a lush, natural shine is present
on the rubber parts. For a satin finish complete this cleaning process once,
for a glossy finish repeat the process twice. Please be careful not to apply
excessive pressure on the raised Xenon lettering on the mounting gasket.

XENON 10 AND 12 INCH
HIGH EXCURSION SUBWOOFERS

ENCLOSURE RECOMMENDATIONS
The Xenon subwoofers are over-engineered and overbuilt in virtually
every way conceivable. It’s very important that the enclosure is built
to these same exacting standards. The enclosure must be made
of .75 inch MDF. Screws or air staples are excellent construction
fasteners when used with a strong bonding “yellow” wood working
glue that can fill joint gaps. Be sure that the enclosure panels are
airtight at all joining seams. Lining the walls with a polyester matting
1 to 3 inches thick is sufficient.
Your PG dealer has extensive knowledge, tools and the experience
needed for the design and construction necessary for your Xenon
subwoofer application. We also recommend you consult with your
dealer for specific technical assistance related to your installation.
The charts provided should be used as a reference when building an
enclosure for your Xenon subwoofer.
The charts contain several enclosure types. The Musical enclosure
provides deeper, tighter and higher quality output to provide a more
accurate reproduction of the original source material. The SPL
enclosure, on the other hand, fits the basshead’s needs of maximum
output while sacrificing some sound quality.
LED INSTRUCTIONS ENCLOSURE INFORMATION
The Xenon subwoofer was developed from the ground up to
compliment the amazing performance of our Xenon Series
amplifiers. Utilizing cutting edge design techniques, we can deliver a
woofer that has an impressive peak to peak linear field excursion of
up to 40mm. The injection-molded 8 piece dust cap in conjunction
with the custom injection-molded polypropylene cone provides
exceptional musicality at very high drive levels. All of the motor (Xe.
drive) and suspension (Xe.linear) parts have been computer optimized
to provide symmetrical driving force in both directions. This translates
into very low distortion and exceptional output even as your amplifier
is running out of steam.
