Frequently Asked Questions - EB115A V2 Hifonics

What is the recommended enclosure volume for the EB115A V2?

For a sealed enclosure, 1.5 to 2.0 cubic feet is recommended. For a ported enclosure, use 2.5 to 3.0 cubic feet tuned to 35 Hz.

How do I wire the dual 4 ohm voice coils?

You can wire them in series for 8 ohms, parallel for 2 ohms, or one coil per channel for 4 ohms. For optimal performance with most amplifiers, use a 2 ohm final load.

What is the RMS power handling of this subwoofer?

The EB115A V2 handles 500 Watts RMS and 1000 Watts peak power.

What size amplifier do I need?

An amplifier delivering 500 to 1000 Watts RMS at 2 ohms will work well. Ensure the amplifier is stable at the final impedance of your wiring.

What is the mounting depth?

The mounting depth is 6.5 inches, so ensure your enclosure has at least that much internal depth.

Can I use this subwoofer in a sealed enclosure?

Yes, it works well in sealed enclosures. The recommended sealed volume is 1.5 to 2.0 cubic feet for tight, accurate bass.

How do I set the gain on my amplifier?

Set the gain using a multimeter: calculate target voltage as sqrt(Power * Impedance). For 500W RMS at 2 ohms, target voltage is about 31.6V AC. Play a 50 Hz sine wave and adjust gain until you reach that voltage.

What is the frequency response?

The frequency response is 25 Hz to 500 Hz, making it suitable for deep bass and mid-bass applications.

Does this subwoofer need a break-in period?

Yes, it is recommended to break in the subwoofer for 10-20 hours at moderate volume levels. This allows the suspension to loosen and improve performance.

What is the sensitivity rating?

The sensitivity is 90 dB, which means it produces moderate output per watt. A larger enclosure or more power can increase output.

To pair, briefly press TWS on the device with which your Bluetooth® device has connected. Both systems couple within 1 minute. To release the coupled systems, hold the TWS button for approx. 15 seconds.
10. At the signal input AUX (3.5 mm jack) you can e.g. connect a smartphone.
11. At the signal input AUDIO IN (RCA) you can use an external signal source such as a CD player. For subwoofer operation in the vehicle, the RCA cable that comes from the head unit must be connected.
12. At the signal output AUDIO OUT (RCA) you can e.g. connect a mixer.
13. You can connect a microphone to the MIC input (6.35 mm jack).
14. You can connect a guitar to the GUITAR signal input (6.35 mm jack).
15. The MAIN VOL control regulates the overall volume of the sound system.
16. The TREBLE control regulates the treble of the sound system.

17. The BASS control regulates the bass of the sound system.

18. The MIC ECHO control regulates the degree of the echo effect of the connected microphone.

19. The MIC VOL control regulates the volume of the connected microphone.
20. The GT VOLUME control regulates the volume of the connected guitar.
21. The VOICE PRIORITY switch activates the karaoke function, i.e. the background music will be played a bit quieter as soon as a microphone is used.
22. The AUDIO IN GAIN control regulates the input sensitivity of the connected input signal from AUDIO IN.
23. The LPF control regulates the crossover frequency of the AUDIO IN low pass filter.
24. At the LPF / FULL switch, you can determine whether the input signal should be a full-range signal or a low-pass signal (subwoofer mode).
25. The CHARGE button does the following: I: The device is operated with 230 volts via the connected power plug and the internal battery is charged. O: The device is off and the internal battery is charged when the power plug is connected. II: The device is operated with the internal battery or, if an external battery is connected to DC12V, operated with this.
26. Connect the enclosed power plug to POWER.
27. This connector is removable and can remain in the vehicle in subwoofer mode. An external 12 volt battery (e.g. vehicle battery) can be connected to DC 12V IN to supply the device with power. Pay attention to correct polarity. The REM control signal (or a switched + 12V supply line) of the car radio must be present at the REM terminal in subwoofer mode.
28. The device fuse (FUSE 30A) protects the device against overload and short circuits. If this is defective, you can use the spare fuse instead (SPARE FUSE). Exchange defective fuses only for fuses with the same fuse rating and design.
29. The LEDs at BATT show the following: FULL: The internal battery is fully loaded LOW: The charging capacity of the internal battery is too low and should be charged. CHARGE: The internal battery is being charged.
