Frequently Asked Questions - TS-VR8 Audiopipe

How do I install the Audiopipe TS-VR8 subwoofer?

First, choose a suitable enclosure (sealed or ported) with the recommended volume. Cut a hole of 7.25 inches diameter for the subwoofer. Secure the subwoofer using screws, and connect the terminals to your amplifier with proper gauge wire. Ensure the impedance matches your amplifier's output.

What amplifier power is recommended for this subwoofer?

A amplifier delivering 200W RMS at 4 ohms is ideal. The subwoofer can handle up to 400W peak, but it's best to match RMS ratings for reliable performance.

What is the power handling of the TS-VR8?

The RMS power handling is 200 watts, and the peak power handling is 400 watts.

Can I use this subwoofer in a sealed enclosure?

Yes, it works well in sealed enclosures. A sealed box with about 0.4 cubic feet internal volume is recommended for accurate bass.

What is the impedance of the TS-VR8?

The subwoofer has a single 4 ohm voice coil, resulting in a 4 ohm total impedance.

How should I break in the subwoofer?

Play music at moderate volume for about 10-20 hours. Start with low frequencies and gradually increase to normal listening levels. This helps the suspension loosen up.

Why is there no sound from my subwoofer?

Check all connections: ensure the amplifier is powered, the signal wires are connected, and the subwoofer is wired correctly. Also verify the amplifier's crossover settings and that the gain is not too low.

How do I clean the subwoofer?

Use a dry, soft cloth to gently wipe the cone and surround. Do not use any liquids or cleaners as they may damage the materials.

What is the warranty period?

The Audiopipe TS-VR8 comes with a 1-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Keep your purchase receipt for warranty claims.

Is the subwoofer waterproof?

No, it is not designed for outdoor or wet environments. Exposure to moisture can damage the subwoofer permanently.

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.
