INSTALLATION EXPERIENCE
Installation of PowerBass Autosound Speakers requires experience with a variety of mechanical and electrical
procedures. This manual only provides general installation and operation instructions. If you have any reserva-
tions about your installation skills or lack of the proper tools, please contact your local PowerBass Autosound
dealer for assistance.
TIPS TO GET THE MOST OUT
OF YOUR POWERBASS SYSTEM
Your PowerBass Autosound speakers have been meticulously engineered and designed to handle high power
musical reproduction. Despite their rugged construction, it is possible to damage your speaker if they are
improperly used. In general, you will hear distortion as a so-called warning before any damage occurs. If
you hear distortion in your system, immediately reduce the musical level to the point where the sound retains
its clarity.
1. Be sure you supply the speakers with enough unclipped amplifier power to drive them properly. (More
damage can be done to a speaker by under-powering and clipping your amplifier than any other
way!)
2. Where possible, a separate amplifier just for your speaker should be used with an electronic crossover to
set the frequency range.
3. When connecting speaker wires from the amplifier or head unit to that of the speaker itself, pay attention
to the polarity of the connection. This will insure optimum sound reproduction and performance.
