Thank you for purchasing this FLI enclosure. It will provide you with years of
trouble free usage providing you follow a few simple guidelines.
Run in procedure
FLI recommends that you follow the run in procedure for the subwoofer detailed below.
When your Subwoofer is used for the first time naturally like most brand new items it is very stiff
ff
and rigid, it will take time for the moving parts of this Subwoofer to loosen up before the
Subwoofer will be ready to deliver its full potential.
For the first 30 hours it is recommended that you play the Subwoofer initially at low to medium
volumes, gradually increasing the volume level as time progresses.
As a guide, if you listen to your Subwoofer for 1 hour every day it will take a month for the
speaker to run in properly.
You will notice a big change in the sound of the Subwoofer over this period, as the spider and
surround begin to run in the sound will get deeper and punchier, also the output of the Subwoofer
will increase as the suspension loosens up.
The Subwoofer is like a new cars engine, it needs a few thousand miles before you can drive it to
it’s full potential, driving it into the redline from the first day will mean engine damage is certain
and will not be covered by warranty and the same applies to the subwoofer
Failure to follow this simple procedure is the most common reason for a Subwoofer to fail after a
very short period of time.
Installation
The most common place to mount a bass enclosure is in the luggage compartment of the
vehicle.
Where in the luggage compartment it is mounted will have an effect
ff
on the sound produced
allowing the user to tailor the sound to best suit their musical tastes.
For example if the enclosure is mounted facing the rear bumper, the bass produced will be
noticeably deeper than if it is fired into the rear seat.
Do not be afraid to experiment with positioning as a little time and effort
ff
can yield great
improvements in sound.
