Frequently Asked Questions - TS-VR6 Audiopipe

What is the recommended amplifier power for the Audiopipe TS-VR6?

For optimal performance, use an amplifier that delivers 600 Watts RMS at 4 ohms or 2 ohms (depending on wiring configuration).

What is the mounting depth of the TS-VR6?

The mounting depth is 6.3 inches (16 cm). Ensure your enclosure has sufficient depth to avoid contact with the back wall.

Can I wire the TS-VR6 to a 2-ohm load?

Yes, since it has a dual 4-ohm voice coil, you can wire the coils in parallel to achieve a 2-ohm load.

What type of enclosure is best for the TS-VR6?

Both sealed and ported enclosures work well. A sealed box (1.0-1.5 cu ft) offers tight bass, while a ported box (2.0-2.5 cu ft) provides louder output with more low-end extension.

Do I need to break in the subwoofer?

It is recommended to break in the subwoofer at moderate volume for about 20-30 hours to allow the suspension to loosen up and achieve optimal performance.

What is the sensitivity of the TS-VR6?

The sensitivity is 87 dB, which is average. It will require moderate amplifier power to produce high output.

How do I connect the TS-VR6 to my amplifier?

Use the push-type spring terminals on the subwoofer. Connect positive to positive and negative to negative. For dual voice coils, follow the wiring diagram for your desired impedance.

What is the frequency range of the TS-VR6?

The frequency response is 25 Hz to 500 Hz. It handles deep bass notes down to 25 Hz effectively.

Can I use the TS-VR6 in a home audio system?

Yes, but it requires a 12V power supply and a suitable amplifier. It is designed for car audio but can be adapted for home use with proper power.

What are the dimensions of the TS-VR6?

The overall diameter is 12 inches (30.5 cm), cutout diameter is 11.1 inches (28.2 cm), and mounting depth is 6.3 inches (16 cm).

Sealed enclosure applications

Primary advantages: Small, good low frequency extension and control, simple to build.

This type of enclosures is a classic design and the easiest to build among most installers. These enclosure recommendations have been calculated with the airspace inside and include the displacement of the woofer. All sealed enclosure designs should be filled to 50% with loose poly-fil stuffing. The use of poly-fil will slightly decrease efficiency but will deepen and extend the low frequency output.

Subwoofer	Recommended Sealed Enclosure
	Volume (net int.)	External Dimensions (Width x Height x Depth)
TS-V6	0.25 FT3	?” x ?” x ?”
TS-VR8	0.5 FT3	10” x 10” x 11”
TS-VR10	1.0 FT3	12” x 12” x 13”
TS-VR12	1.75 FT3	14” x 14” x 16”
TS-VR15	2.25 FT3	16” x 16” x 18”

Box building notes

Use 3/4" or thicker MDF (medium density fiberboard) and seal the joints with silicone. All the cubic ft measurements in this manual include the displacement of the woofer and port. All ports have been calculated using rectangular ports it would be impractical to use round ports for these designs. Do not install ports opening against a solid surface, such as an internal brace, back panel or seat of your vehicle. The port opening must remain unobstructed.

Vented enclosure applications

Primary advantage: Efficient, low distortion around port tuning.

These enclosures are the installer's choice for high performance SPL levels and require a deeper understanding in order to achieve maximum efficiency. These enclosure recommendations have been calculated with the airspace inside and include the displacement of the woofer.

Wiring options

The TS-VR series of subwoofers are available with dual 4 Ohms voice coils. Both coils must be connected to a source of amplification. A dual 4 Ohms woofer can be configured in parallel to provide a 1 Ohm load. A dual 4 Ohms woofer can be also configured in series to provide a 8 Ohms load. The terminal with the red markings is the positive while the black terminals represent the negative.
