TIPS TO GET THE MOST OUT  OF YOUR POWERBASS SYSTEM

Your PowerBass Autosound speakers have been meticulously engineered and designed to handle high power musical reproduction. Despite their rugged construction, it is possible to damage your speaker if they are improperly used.  In general, you will hear distortion as a so-called warning before any damage occurs.  If you hear distortion in your system, immediately reduce the musical level to the point where the sound retains its clarity.

1. Be sure you supply the speakers with enough unclipped amplifier power to drive them properly. (More damage can be done to a speaker by under-powering and clipping your amplifier than any other way!)
2. Where possible, a separate amplifier just for your speaker should be used with an electronic crossover to set the frequency range.
3. When connecting speaker wires from the amplifier or head unit to that of the speaker itself, pay attention to the polarity of the connection.  This will insure optimum sound reproduction and performance.
