Amplifiers 2006 Amplifier Line Overview Precise Frequency Selector Electronic Crossover For 2006, Clarion has introduced an entirely new line of amplifiers, designed from the ground up to compliment one-another in terms of features, performance and design. The 2006 amplifier line takes a three tiered approach to features, technology and design. The inclusion of an electronic crossover in an amplifier allows for efficient setup and configuration of an audio system.
Amplifiers – Technologies limitations on the potentiometer used to make the adjustment. IVS dramatically reduced channel imbalance by implementing three discrete sensitivity ranges, 0-0.6v, 0.6-2v, 2-8v. The result is a reduction in maximum potential channel imbalance, better imaging and a more accurate soundstage.
Amplifiers – Technologies How does Class G work? Think of the new Dodge Hemi or Cadillac Northstar engines. These engines have the ability to shut down a number of cylinders to reduce fuel comsumption and heat generation. The power supply of a Class G amplifiers works in exactly the same way. When you aren’t cranking on the amp, the power supply rail voltage turns down. The effect, less current is passed through the output devices, dramatically reducing wasted power.
Amplifiers – Technologies Mixed-Mode Operation Clarion amplifiers use an inverting circuit that allows a single 2-channel amplifier to drive multiple satellite speakers in stereo and a subwoofer in a bridged-mono configuration. Mixed-mode operation allows greater system flexibility with a single 2-channel amplifier. When used in conjunction with passive crossover components, a Clarion amplifier is capable of mixed mode operation that can power an entire audio system. ing the signal path.

Subwoofers 77
Subwoofers – Technologies Signature Series Woofers Powder coated damped aluminum basket Providing a stable platform for the speaker to work from is critical. The cast and powder coated aluminum baskets used in the signature series speakers feature a low resonance design and incredible strength. Clarion’s dedication to reproducing music as it was originally played is taken to a new level with the introduction of the Signature Series line of speakers and Subwoofers.
Subwoofers – Technologies PXW Subwoofers Spider Exhaust Technology If you look at the base of the basket of a Signature Series subwoofer, you will see many mesh-protected vents. These vents serve two purposes. First and foremost, they allow hot air to escape from the voice coil, helping to improve power handling. These vents also relieve pressure from underneath the spider, reducing distortion.
Subwoofers – Technologies A speaker that can better dissipate heat will sound better and last longer. All Clarion subwoofers feature SET (Spider Exhaust Technology) cooling to allow heat generated from the voice coil assembly to escape from the area beneath the spider. SET also allows pressurized air to escape from beneath the spider. This improves overall speaker linearity, especially at high excursion levels. The PXW subwoofer allows hot air to escape through the spokes of the basket.
Subwoofers – Technologies Dual Heat Resistant Voice Coils All PXW subwoofers are available as Dual Voice Coil designs. You have your choice of dual 2 Ohm or dual 4 Ohm for 1, 2, 4 or 8 Ohm Impedances. This ensures that Clarion PXW subwoofers will work perfectly achieve the maximum power potential when connected to any amp on the market. You can tell which driver you are ordering by the last number in the model. The PXW1x51 are dual 2 Ohm drivers and PXW1x52 are dual 4 Ohm driver.
Subwoofers – Technologies PFW subwoofer important. The new PFW subwoofer will sound excellent in sealed enclosures as small as 0.35 cubic feet and the optimum sealed enclosure is only 0.45 cubic feet. The PFW1051 also works great in vented enclosures, the optimum volume being 0.95 cubic feet for excellent low frequency extension and power handling. SRW subwoofers Clarion proudly introduces our first generation of shallow mount subwoofers - the PFW1051.
Subwoofers – Technologies cone is integrated into the custom-tooled foam rubber surround, and right down to the magnet protecting rubber boot - seamless and effective. The five 'spokes' embossed into the cone extend to the edge of the driver via a custom tooled foam rubber surround. This surround offers excellent damping and flexibility characteristics for great sonic performance.

Car Audio Reference Guide Car Audio Reference Guide This section of the 2006 Clarion Application Guide provides some basic guidelines, tips and tricks related to the installation and design of a car audio system. This section in no way replaces proper training, certification, mentorship and experience. Tools Clarion recommends that high quality tools be used at all times. The use of quality tools ensure proper engagement with fasteners, a reduced chance of stripping, rounding over or damage to the vehicle.
Car Audio Reference Guide Car Audio Physics Understanding some basic fundamentals of physics are required to sell and install car audio products. Sound Sound is essentially changes in air pressure. These compressions and rarefactions cause minute bones inside our ears to vibrate, which measure this in seconds (or milliseconds. If you take the reciprocal of this number, you get frequency. For example - If you measure a period using a scope of 0.025 seconds, then take the reciprocal (1/0.
Car Audio Reference Guide changes. This is known as a delay or phase shift. The graph below shows a phase shift between two sine waves. The goal of a high quality car audio system is to accurately reproduce the sound of a musical performance. When sound is recorded in stereo (two channels), it is of the utmost importance that the sound coming from each channel arrives at the listeners ear simultaneously.
Car Audio Reference Guide Relays The ability to switch high current electrical circuits using low current control systems has made the use of relays extremely popular. Relays can also be used to perform relatively elaborate processes - including conversion from positive to negative pulsing, negative to positive pulsing, momentary to constant pulsing, retained accessory circuits and so forth. This section will look at the basic connections on a relay and some of the most basic circuits.
Car Audio Reference Guide Common Car Audio Math The following section provides a simple and easy to use reference for some of the more commonly utilized mathematical formulas in the car audio industry. Ohm's Law Ohm's Law was named after Georg Ohm, a mathematician and physicist, born in 1789 and lived to be 65 while living in Bavaria. Mr. Ohm created the foundation for the basic units of electricity which are now accepted as a standard worldwide.
Car Audio Reference Guide Resistance Formula Calculations Example 2: If you know a device is dissipate 10 Watts of power and has a resistance of 20 Ohms, then you can calculate the voltage being applied to the device: (10 x 20) = 14.14 Volts.
Car Audio Reference Guide Resistance Circuit Calculations Parallel Two formulas are required for calculating the net resistance of multiple resistive devices wired together. Series Circuits When multiple devices are wired in Series then use the following formula: Rtotal = R1 + R2 + R3 + R... The total resistance is the sum of each resistance.
Car Audio Reference Guide Passive Crossovers High-Pass filters When connecting multiple speakers to an amplifier, passive crossover components are often required to filter the signal going to each speaker. For example, if you connect a midrange and a tweeter, you don't want bass to go to the tweeter and you don't want highs to go to the midrange.
Car Audio Reference Guide Low-Pass filter Not surprisingly, a low-pass filter allows only those frequencies below the selected crossover point to pass un-attenuated. Low-Pass filters are typically used with subwoofers, as you don't want mids and highs to be reproduced. In car audio, we use an inductor (also called a choke) as a low-pass filter. The formula above allows you to calculate the appropriate inductor value. For most single 4 Ohm subwoofers, a 6.0 or 6.6mH inductor works well.
Car Audio Reference Guide Subwoofer Enclosure Guide Even the most expensive, complex subwoofer on the planet won’t sound good unless it is installed in a properly designed and constructed enclosure. The following section outlines subwoofer enclosure design and construction guidelines. Construction Notes All enclosure should be constructed of 3/4” thickness North American-produced MDF or highquality plywood with one finished side (installed facing the inside of the enclosure).
Car Audio Reference Guide Subwoofer Enclosure Calculations Clarion offers an extensive line of high quality, product specific subwoofer enclosures. Clarion dealers will, on occasion, be called upon to custom build a subwoofer enclosure from scratch to better maximise the space inside a vehicle, provide room for additional speakers, integrate an elaborate amp rack or to perform a completely custom installed. The following instructions outline the steps required to design a custom-sized subwoofer enclosure.
Car Audio Reference Guide Example - Vent Volume The vent volume calculation goes as follows: The spec sheet outlines the need for two vents, each with an internal diameter of 2.5 inches each with a length of 8.25 inches. To calculate the volume of each vent, we need to determine how much space those vents will occupy in the enclosure: Area of a circle formula: R2 = 3.1416 x R x R Where R is the radius of the outside of the vent.
Car Audio Reference Guide Amplifier Installation Power Cable Sizing When installing an amplifier in a modern vehicle, careful consideration needs to be paid to power wire connections. High power amplifiers can easily consume significant amounts of current - easily exceeding 100A+ of current. Proper power wire sizing is paramount in allowing an amplifier to make its rated power. The chart below outlines the power cable requirements to a single amplifier.
