2.2 Wiring Dual Voice Coil (DVC) Subwoofers
The KICKER CompVR 43CVR124 features a Dual Voice Coil (DVC) design with a 4 Ohm impedance per coil. This allows for flexible wiring configurations to match your amprequisitos de impedancia do adaptador. Asegúrese sempre de que o seu ampO elevador é estable na impedancia escollida.

Common wiring configurations for a 4 Ohm DVC subwoofer:
- Cableado en paralelo (carga de 2 ohmios): Connect the positive terminals of both voice coils together, and the negative terminals of both voice coils together. Connect the ampsaída positiva do lificador aos terminais positivos combinados e o amplifier's negative output to the combined negative terminals. This results in a 2 Ohm load.
- Cableado en serie (carga de 8 ohmios): Connect the positive terminal of one voice coil to the negative terminal of the other voice coil. Connect the amplifier's positive output to the remaining positive terminal, and the amplifier's negative output to the remaining negative terminal. This results in an 8 Ohm load.
Verifique sempre a impedancia final cun multímetro antes de conectar o seu ampmáis vivo.
3. Instrucións de funcionamento
3.1 Manexo de enerxía
The CompVR 43CVR124 is rated for 50-400 Watts RMS (Root Mean Square) power handling, with a peak power handling of 800 Watts. Ensure your amplifier's output matches these specifications to prevent damage to the subwoofer.
3.2 AmpConfiguración do lifier
- Configuración de ganancia: Establece o ampganancia do lificador segundo o amplifier manufacturer's instructions, typically by matching it to the head unit's output voltage. Avoid setting the gain too high, as this can lead to clipping and damage.
- Filtro paso baixo (LPF): Configura o LPF no teu amplifier or head unit to filter out high frequencies, typically between 80 Hz and 120 Hz. Subwoofers are designed to reproduce low frequencies only.
- Filtro subsónico (HPF): Se o teu amplifier has a subsonic filter (also known as a high-pass filter for subwoofers), set it slightly below your enclosure's tuning frequency to protect the subwoofer from over-excursion at very low frequencies.
- Boost de baixo: Use bass boost sparingly, if at all. Excessive bass boost can cause distortion and damage.
3.3 Período de rodaxe
Allow a break-in period of approximately 10-20 hours of normal listening before operating the subwoofer at high volumes. This allows the suspension components to loosen up and achieve optimal performance.
4. Mantemento
The KICKER CompVR 43CVR124 is designed for durability. Regular maintenance is minimal but important for long-term performance.
- Limpeza: Usa un pano suave e seco para limpar con coidado o cono e o seu contorno. Evita o uso de produtos químicos agresivos ou humidade excesiva.
- Inspección: Periodically inspect the subwoofer for any signs of damage to the cone, surround, or terminals. Ensure all wiring connections remain secure.
- Factores ambientais: Protexa o subwoofer de temperaturas extremas, luz solar directa e humidade excesiva.
