Frequently Asked Questions - Machete MT-23 NEO Deaf Bonce

What is the power handling of the Deaf Bonce Machete MT-23 NEO?

The speaker handles 150 watts RMS and 450 watts peak. Make sure your amplifier provides clean power within these limits to avoid damage.

What impedance does the speaker have?

The impedance is 4 ohms. Most car amplifiers are stable at 4 ohms, making it easy to match with typical systems.

What are the physical dimensions of the speaker?

The woofer is 6.5 inches (165 mm) with a mounting depth of 2.6 inches (66 mm) and a cutout diameter of 5.7 inches (145 mm). Always measure your mounting location.

What is the sensitivity rating?

Sensitivity is 91 dB. Higher sensitivity means the speaker produces more volume with less power, ideal for efficient systems.

What is the frequency response range?

The frequency response is 55 Hz - 22 kHz, covering deep bass to high treble. For optimal performance, use a subwoofer for frequencies below 55 Hz.

Does the speaker come with a crossover?

Yes, a passive crossover is included. It separates the audio signal into low frequencies for the woofer and high frequencies for the tweeter.

How should I break in the speaker?

Break in the speaker by playing music at moderate volume (50-70% of RMS) for about 10-20 hours. This loosens the suspension and improves sound quality.

How do I clean the speaker?

Gently wipe the cone and grille with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid liquids or chemicals. Keep the magnet area free from metal debris.

What is the warranty coverage?

The speaker comes with a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Keep your receipt. Damage from overpowering or misuse is not covered.

Can I use this speaker in a sealed or ported enclosure?

This component speaker is designed for infinite baffle (free air) installation in car doors or panels. For best results, ensure proper sealing and damping.

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 audio system 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 audio systems! 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 audio system 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

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) of 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 8 kHz (12 dB/Oct)

Recommended amplifiers: AAK-180.4, AAK-200.4D, MFC-120.2, MFC-90.4, M154, M134, M84, M54.

MT-23NEO: HPF - 8 kHz (12 dB/Oct)
