5. Fametrahana sy fametrahana
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your DS18 PRO-GM6 loudspeaker. This section provides general guidelines. Specific vehicle requirements may vary.
5.1 Fanomanana ny fametrahana
- Toerana: Identify suitable mounting locations in your vehicle, typically door panels or custom enclosures. Ensure sufficient mounting depth (2.72 inches / 69mm) and clearance.
- Wiring: Plan the routing of speaker wires from your amplifier to the speaker locations. Avoid running speaker wires alongside power cables to prevent noise interference.
- AmpLifier Matching: The PRO-GM6 has an 8 Ohm impedance and handles 140W RMS. Ensure your amplifier can safely deliver power within these specifications. Connecting an 8 Ohm speaker to a 4 Ohm amplifier output will result in lower power delivery than the amplifier's rated 4 Ohm output.
