5. Configuración e instalación

Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your DS18 PRO-GM6 loudspeaker. This section provides general guidelines. Specific vehicle requirements may vary.

5.1 Planificación da instalación

• Localización: Identify suitable mounting locations in your vehicle, typically door panels or custom enclosures. Ensure sufficient mounting depth (2.72 inches / 69mm) and clearance.
• Cableado: Plan the routing of speaker wires from your amplifier to the speaker locations. Avoid running speaker wires alongside power cables to prevent noise interference.
• AmpCoincidencia de lifier: The PRO-GM6 has an 8 Ohm impedance and handles 140W RMS. Ensure your amplifier can safely deliver power within these specifications. Connecting an 8 Ohm speaker to a 4 Ohm amplifier output will result in lower power delivery than the amplifier's rated 4 Ohm output.

5.2 Montaxe do altofalante

3. Conexións seguras: Ensure all connections are tight and free from short circuits.

6. Instrucións de funcionamento

The DS18 PRO-GM6 is a midrange loudspeaker designed to reproduce frequencies between 98 Hz and 10 KHz. It should be used as part of a complete car audio system, typically paired with subwoofers for low frequencies and tweeters for high frequencies.

• Integración de sistemas: Connect the PRO-GM6 to an appropriate ampcanle lifier.
• Configuración de cruce: For optimal sound quality and speaker protection, use an electronic crossover to filter out frequencies below 98 Hz (high-pass filter) and above 10 KHz (low-pass filter). Refer to your amplifier or head unit's manual for crossover adjustments.
• Axuste de ganancia: Establece o ampganancia do lificador correctamente para coincidir co volume de saídatage of your head unit. Avoid setting the gain too high, as this can lead to distortion and speaker damage.
• Período de rodaxe: Allow a break-in period of approximately 10-20 hours of normal listening before operating the speakers at high volumes. This allows the speaker's suspension components to loosen and perform optimally.

7. Mantemento

The DS18 PRO-GM6 loudspeaker requires minimal maintenance:

• Limpeza: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the speaker cone and frame. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
• Inspección: Comprobe periodicamente as conexións dos altofalantes para asegurarse de que estean ben axustadas e de que ningún cable estea desfiado ou exposto.
• Protección ambiental: While the speaker features a steel basket, it is not waterproof. Protect it from direct exposure to water and extreme temperatures.
