SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Ensure that your subwoofer enclosure will not get loose during the drive and hurt someone in the pas-

senger cabin. It is recommended, that you mount the subwoofer enclosure with suitable belts or any 

other mounting solutions in the trunk area. Please ensure not to damage any serial components of your 

vehicle (air bags, wires, gas tank etc.) during the installation of your sound system by drilling or any 

other operations.
Please ensure by any means the correct polarity of all connections. Faulty installed and connected 

devices may get damage the vehicle and the device permanently.
Please check in any case the operation guide or wiring manual of your amplifier which you’d like to use 

for the soundsystem.
Never connect the speaker terminals with the 12 Volt power supply, otherwise the speakers may get 

damaged.

POWER RATING

ESX subwoofer enclosures are designed for high bass levels. Anyhow it is possible, that unsatisfying 

sound characteristics could be caused by too low or too high amplifier power. In certain circumstances 

this even can cause a damage to the loudspeakers.

It is recommended to choose rather a more powerful amplifier (ca. 15-20% more Watts RMS than the 

max. RMS power rating of the woofer) and to use the amplifier not at the maximum output level (low 

distortion factor, good sound characteristics). A weaker amplifier at the maximum level  causes worse 

sound characteristics due to the higher distortion factor.

Never crank up the output volume of your amplifier to the maximum level or run the amplifier into the 

clipping range. If the sound is distorted and not clean, turn back the level until the distortions disappear.

ESX subwoofer enclosures have no integrated limiter or clipper, which is limiting the level upwards. 

Overamplified bass peaks leads inevitably to a burn out of the voice coil of the woofer. A burn out of the 

voice coil, caused by clipping/overamping is not covered by the usual warranty.
