Fil elektrik
The 12TW3-D4 features a dual 4-ohm voice coil configuration, offering flexibility in wiring options to achieve a 2-ohm or 8-ohm load at the amplifier.
- 2-Ohm Load: Wire the two 4-ohm voice coils in parallel. Connect the positive terminal of one coil to the positive terminal of the other, and similarly for the negative terminals. Then connect to the amplifier.
- 8-Ohm Load: Wire the two 4-ohm voice coils in series. Connect the positive terminal of one coil to the negative terminal of the other. The remaining positive and negative terminals connect to the amplifier.
Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated. Use appropriate gauge wiring for your power requirements.

- AmpAnviwònman Pwodiksyon Lifter: Mete la amplifier gain according to the amplifier's instructions, ensuring it matches the output voltage of your head unit. Avoid setting the gain too high, as this can lead to clipping and damage to the subwoofer.
- Anviwònman kwazman: Sèvi ak yon filtè pas ba (LPF) sou ou ampLimifikatè a oswa inite prensipal la pou voye sèlman frekans ki ba yo nan subwoofer la. Yon paramèt LPF tipik pou subwoofer yo se ant 60Hz ak 100Hz.
- Filtè subsonik: Si ou amplifier has a subsonic filter, set it slightly below your enclosure's tuning frequency (for ported enclosures) or around 20-25Hz (for sealed enclosures) to protect the subwoofer from over-excursion at very low frequencies.
- Peryòd enskripsyon: Allow a break-in period of several hours of moderate listening before operating the subwoofer at high volumes. This allows the suspension components to loosen up and perform optimally.
