Owners manual Congratulations on purchasing your Vibe BLACKDEATH subwoofer, please read this manual in order to fully understand how to get the best results from your subwoofer and ensure that all advice on how to look after the Subwoofer is followed. Thank you for buying VIBE, we hope you enjoy listening to your product as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Run in procedure Vibe 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 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.
Installation VIBE recommends that the BLACKDEATH subwoofer is only installed in a ported enclosure. Ported enclosure installation A ported or vented enclosure is not much more complex than a sealed design, It consists of a box with a hole in it. The vented enclosure has to be correctly designed in order to function correctly, the vent in the enclosure interacts with the air in the cabinet and the woofer to increase output and reduce cone excursion at and around the tuning frequency.
Diagram enclosure -1 dimension 4320 ÷ 15 ÷20 = 14.4 So our depth is 14.4” for this enclosure Note : this formula is for the INTERNAL dimensions, please add the thickness of the material used to construct the enclosure to the formula to give you the outside dimensions. So assuming we are using 1 inch material we need to add 2 thicknesses to each internal dimension to allow for material top and bottom so the external dimensions for this enclosure would be 17 x 22 x 16.
