Introduction Dear Customer, Congratulations on your purchase of the worlds finest brand of car audio products. Here at Audiobahn Inc. we are devoted to making our musical reproduction the very best, and we are pleased you have chosen our product. Through years of engineering expertise, hand craftsmanship, and critical testing procedures, we have created a wide range of products that reproduce music with all the clarity and richness you deserve.
Woofer Introduction Audiobahn woofers are a low frequency driver designed primarily for use in small sealed or vented enclosures depending on the model of sub. Please check the specifications in this manual, our website at www.audiobahninc.com , or call us at 714-988-0400 or 800-488-8595. As specifications and parameters are subject to change, we highly advise always checking our web site or calling us for the most current information.
Woofer Features 3" Black Aluminum Former The voice coil former is black anodized aluminum for highly efficient thermal transfer. This allows winding high temperature copper wire in multiple layers for improved efficiency. This provides the sub with improved power handling by efficiently dissipating heat. Extended Pole Piece The pole piece has been extended to provide a more linear magnetic field for the operation of the woofer.
Woofer Features 2" Phat Foam Surround The 2" foam surround is resilient to temperature variations and provides the consistent support necessary for the linear motion of the speaker cone. In addition, the inherent damping capabilities eliminates the transmission of sonic disturbances between the cone and the frame of the speaker. This greatly improves the clarity of the speakers frequency response.

Enclosures And Setup Building an Enclosure To work properly, the walls of the enclosure must be rigid and not flex when subjected to high pressure generated by the speaker's operation. For optimum performance, we recommend using 3/4" MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) and internal bracing. The enclosure should be glued together along with support of screws or nails. Because MDF is porous, it is suggested that you seal the outside with polyurethane prior to painting or carpeting.
Troubleshooting If you start having problems with distorted sound or loss performance after installing your subs, you can follow the instructions below to try and locate what is causing the problem. 1) If you have any distorted sound, loss of performance, or rattling from your subs, check the connections running from your amplifier or other processor to the box. You will also want to check the connections inside the box to make sure no wires have become unhooked or are loose.
