Frequently Asked Questions - Apocalypse DB-W80 Deaf Bonce

What is the recommended amplifier power for the DB-W80?

For optimal performance, use an amplifier that delivers 800 Watts RMS at the selected impedance (1 or 2 ohms final). A 1000-1200 Watt RMS amplifier is recommended to allow headroom without distortion.

Can I wire this subwoofer to 1 Ohm?

Yes, the DB-W80 is available with dual 2 Ohm or dual 4 Ohm voice coils. For a dual 2 Ohm version, wire the coils in parallel to achieve 1 Ohm. For a dual 4 Ohm version, parallel wiring yields 2 Ohms.

What size enclosure should I use?

A sealed enclosure of 0.8 ft³ or a ported enclosure of 1.2 ft³ tuned to 35 Hz is recommended. Always verify with the manual for exact specifications.

Is the subwoofer suitable for a sealed or ported box?

The DB-W80 works well in both sealed and ported enclosures. Sealed gives tight bass, while ported offers more output and low-end extension.

What is the mounting depth of this subwoofer?

The mounting depth is 6.3 inches (160 mm). Ensure your enclosure has sufficient clearance for the magnet structure.

Can I use this subwoofer in a home theater system?

While designed for automotive use, the DB-W80 can be used at home with a suitable amplifier and enclosure, but may require a 12V power supply.

How do I break in the subwoofer?

Play the subwoofer at low to moderate volume for 10-20 hours with a variety of music to allow the suspension to loosen. Avoid full power until broken in.

What is the sensitivity rating?

The sensitivity is 85 dB (1W/1m). This indicates the subwoofer requires moderate power to achieve high output.

What type of music is this subwoofer best for?

The DB-W80 excels with bass-heavy genres like hip-hop, EDM, and metal, but also reproduces accurate low frequencies for rock and jazz.

Is the cone material durable?

Yes, the impregnated paper cone with kevlar reinforcement is lightweight yet stiff, providing durability and reducing distortion.

1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this Deaf Bonce product! Deaf Bonce is committed to the creation of extremely high-profile systems with no loss of quality.

To ensure proper use, please carefully read through this manual before using this product. It is especially important that you read and observe caution's in this manual. Please keep the manual in a safe and accessible place for future reference.

2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Fasten the speakers properly when installing it in the vehicle. If the component is disconnected during driving, it may cause serious damage to the passengers of the vehicle or another vehicle.
2. Before installing the components, if possible store the product in the original package to avoid accidental damage to the product.
3. Be careful when installing and dismantling the speaker! Do not let the speaker drop to avoid damage of its moving parts.
4. When working with tools follow safety rules.
5. Before the installation switch off the head unit and all other audio devices to avoid their damage.
6. Make sure that the location of the speaker does not hinder the proper operation of mechanical and electrical devices of the vehicle.
7. Do not install components in places exposed to water, excessive humidity, high or low temperature, dust or dirt. ATTENTION!!! The product may be operated at +5 to +40 °C. In case of moisture condensation, let the product to dry.
8. When performing plumbing, drilling or cutting works with the car, make sure that there is no wiring, brake lines, fuel pipe or other structural elements under the place of work. Follow the safety rules! Use protective glasses and gloves.
9. When stretching back the speaker cables make sure that they are not in contact with sharp edges or moving mechanical devices. Make sure that they are firmly fixed and protected over the entire length.
10. The diameter of the speaker cables must be selected in accordance with the length and applied power.
11. Never stretch the cables outside of the car and near the moving parts of the car. This can lead to destruction of the insulating layer, short circuit and fire.
12. To protect the cables use rubber gaskets if the wire passes through a hole in the plate, or other similar materials if it lies close to the parts exposed to heat.

CAUTION!!! High sound pressure can damage your health! Please use the common sense when controlling volume!

3. WIRING DIAGRAMS

Do not expose your amplifier to loads below the value predetermined by the manufacturer.

Various examples of connection types are given at the pages below. Use these examples to determine the required load impedance of your connection.

Selection of the diameter of speaker cables

Use the table below to select the desired diameter based on the length and the power consumption.

4. FILTERING, RECOMMENDED AMPLIFIER SETTINGS

The correct choice of amplifier settings, filtering and enclosure largely influence on the lifespan of your audio system. You should select an amplifier with a nominal power, not exceeding the nominal power of the speakers. Proper coordination of the head unit (HU) with the amplifier will allow to get a clean, undistorted signal applied to the component to prevent overheating and voice coil damage. The recommended HU volume is not more than 80%, input sensitivity of the amplifier is 50%.

The recommended filter settings:

The high pass filter HPF (a Filter that cuts off all frequencies below the frequency setting of the filter) is about 60-80 Hz (24 dB/Oct), or 120-160 Hz (12 dB/Oct)

The low pass filter LPF (a Filter that cuts off all frequencies above the frequency of the filter) - 500-600 Hz (12 dB/Oct).

Recommended amplifiers: AAK-OGO2500.1D, AAK-OGO1500.2D, AAK-200.4D, AAK-180.4, MFC-120.2, MFC-90.4, MA-150.4, MA-130.4, MA-80.4, MA-50.4.
