Break Your Subwoofer In

Much like the engine of a new automobile, a new subwoofer must go through a short but important process of “break-in” before it is run under harsh conditions. The “break-in” process will ensure the subwoofer is able to perform as it has been designed to. This process involves subjecting the subwoofer to no more than low-to-medium volume levels for a number of hours in the enclosure. 3-4 hours is generally sufficient for the subwoofer’s suspension to loosen enough to prevent the voice coil(s) from overheating and causing failure. The break-in period is also effective in extending subwoofer life. Over-driving the woofer before it has been properly broken-in will usually result in premature failure and poor performance.

Cone – Poly Injection

A substance called “Polyurethane” and is categorized as a “Polymer". It is a resilient and durable manufactured material that can take the place of paint, cotton, rubber, metal or wood in thousands of applications across virtually all fields. It can be hard like fiberglass, squishy like upholstery foam, protective like varnish, bouncy like rubber or sticky like glue.

In the specific case of our cones, this material allows for maximum give that produces great sounding speakers lasting you a long, long time.

Surround – Butyl Rubber

Butyl Rubber is a synthetic (man made) rubber and is valued for its chemical inertness, impermeability to air and the ability to endure or resist exposure to the many types of weather fronts. Butyl rubber has many different applications. Anywhere from Sports equipment to automotive parts, the medical industry and more. We use them for the Surrounds that connect the cone to the basket.

Did you know that most modern chewing gum uses food-grade butyl rubber as the central gum base, which contributes not only the gum's elasticity but an obstinate, sticky quality?

Just like that chewing gum, the Butyl Rubber Surround in our speakers can take the equivalent amount of abuse without quitting on you.

Voice Coil – Aluminum

One of the most abundant elements on earth, Aluminum is remarkable for its low density and for its ability to resist corrosion. It is nonmagnetic (does not have any magnetic properties) and does not easily ignite. This solid material has the ability to perform under stress in both high tension and high compression environments. Aluminum is relatively soft making one of the more ideal materials to use in voice coils.

GENERAL FEATURES

MOSFET PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) Power Supply

Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor is a transistor used for amplifying or switching electronic signals.

We use it in billions of them. In our computers, our telephones, game consoles, cars, electrical appliances and in this case, our Amplifiers. They are found in systems where information is processed or stored.

A MOSFET is basically an electrical switch that allows the flow of electrical current.

An electrical switch has two possible states, ON or OFF. This is where the MOSFET performs its most important role in our D Class amplifiers by allowing or preventing the flow of power and creating an efficient amplifier.

The “Pulse Width Modulated” is a design that is significantly simplifies power supplies.

It controls the output voltage and current precisely by not only removing the output current sensing loss, but also eliminating all secondary feedback circuitry.

The PWM can increase efficiency, is lighter, smaller, can reduce total cost, productivity and system reliability.

Low And High Level Inputs

The RS80 has two different ways that you can hook up a receiver to it.

One is called Low level input and the other is called High level input.

A low level input is measured in voltages. It comes in the form of RCA outputs from the back of your receiver and goes to the RCA inputs on the RS80.

A high level input is measured in watts. It comes in the form one positive and one negative wire from the back of your receiver to and goes to the input terminal of your amplified subwoofer in the same wire form.

Low-level (RCA) input wiring is preferred for best audio performance. Always use a high-quality RCA cable for best audio performance.

Phase Selector Switch

So this switch is basically to keep all of your speakers and subwoofers in the same “Phase”.

If for example, you have the RS80 in the trunk or under your seat, and the bass is out of phase with the main (right and left) loudspeakers then you will likely get poorer quality bass.

Switch your phase selector one way or the other and whichever way gives the best bass should do it.

Adjustable Input Sensitivity

Properly setting the gain on your RS80 is key to getting great sound out of it.

The gain control is not for adjusting volume. It simply adjusts the amount of signal that is coming from your receiver and going to your amplifier.

If you set it too high, you are introducing distortion into the sound. But if you set it too low, then you are choking back on what it is there to do in the first place.

Here is a technique that works on most amplifiers.

First, turn the amplifier’s gain all the way down. Then go up front and put on some music. Now crank the stereos volume until you hear distortion. Then back it off until the distortion goes away.

Go to your amplifier and turn the gain up until the distortion comes back. Then once again, back off until the distortion goes way.

And you are done!

Variable Bass Boost

You have Bass Boost and Variable Bass Boost.

The difference between the two is that with Bass Boost you either have extra bass or you don’t. But with Variable Bass Boost you have the control of exactly how much BASS you want to pump out to your subwoofer(s).

And this is what you get with the RS80. Variable Bass Boost.

Variable Subsonic Filter

Subwoofers start to bottom out trying to reproduce low-frequency signals that are below their abilities to sound off. Bottoming out is more a mechanical problem and happens when the subwoofer driver reaches the limit of its excursion and creates a clacking or flapping sound instead of the low frequency entering its voice coils. If your sub is bottoming out, short of changing the driver into one that has better low-frequency handling, you can try making adjustments to the subsonic filter to filter out frequencies below its specified low frequency limits.

Low Pass Filter

A low-pass filter is an electronic circuit that removes all the notes below the filter's frequency setting. A low-pass filter, set at 100 Hz for example, will block the notes above 100 Hz and allow those under that to pass. Low-pass filters are primarily used to keep high notes from subwoofers.

Polypropylene is a resilient and durable manufactured material that can be used in thousands of applications across virtually all fields. In the specific case of our cones, this material allows for maximum give that produces great sounding speakers lasting you a long time.

Voice Coil

Our speakers are capable of higher or elevated temperature strength and fatigue properties that will increase performance and efficiency of heavy duty play time through lower weight and higher operating temperatures.

Basket

The stamped basket offers a strong and rigid platform allowing the listener to hear clean and clear music output.

Surround

Impermeable to air, rubber has the ability to endure or resist exposure to the many types of weather fronts. Rubber has many different applications. We use it for the surrounds in a many of our speakers to connect the cone to the basket.
