Quite often, car enthusiasts want to install and connect an active subwoofer in their car. However, you need to have at least minimal knowledge in this area. There is nothing complicated in this matter.
Instructions
Step 1
If your radio has outputs for an active subwoofer, then the connection is quite simple. First, select the location where you will install the subwoofer. After that, bring the food to this place. It is best to do power directly from the car battery. Power circuits can also be used. Of course, the polarity must be observed when connecting the power supply.
Step 2
It is best to also take care of installing a capacitor to power the subwoofer. The fact is that peak loads on the subwoofer during bass reproduction can cause increased power consumption. As a result, this leads to an increased load on the elements supplying the vehicle's on-board network. Sometimes, a working generator together with a battery cannot provide the necessary energy to operate a subwoofer. In such a situation, the backlight on the car will dim along with the increasing level of bass reproduction. To avoid this kind of problem, you need to connect a capacitor to the power supply of the subwoofer. It is in a constantly charged state. However, with a lack of energy, he will give his own, while discharging. Power supply dips will be smoothed out. By using a capacitor, we unload the supply elements. The subwoofer will produce quality sound with sufficient power.
Step 3
After the connection, as well as the setting, is done correctly, you only need to deal with the limitation of the upper limit of the woofer operation, and also select the phase of the speaker oscillation. This feature is found on most modern subwoofers. Quite often, subwoofer systems have a problem associated with poor matching of the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the midrange speakers, as well as the subwoofer itself. At the junction of the frequency response, sometimes there is a failure, and sometimes - an overestimation of the level. There are subwoofers on which there is a function of adjusting its upper cutoff frequency by means of adjustment.
