Frequently Asked Questions - Apocalypse Atom 1300 PRO Deaf Bonce

What amplifier should I use with this subwoofer?

Use an amplifier that delivers 1300 Watts RMS at the subwoofer's impedance (e.g., 2 Ohm or 4 Ohm). Ensure the amplifier is stable at that impedance.

What is the recommended enclosure type?

Both sealed and ported enclosures work. Sealed: 1.5 cu ft for tight bass. Ported: 2.0 cu ft tuned to 35 Hz for louder output.

How do I wire dual voice coil subwoofers?

Wire coils in series for higher impedance (e.g., dual 2 Ohm in series = 4 Ohm) or parallel for lower impedance (dual 2 Ohm parallel = 1 Ohm). Match to amplifier's stable impedance.

What is the break-in period?

Break-in is recommended for 10-20 hours at moderate volume to loosen the suspension. Avoid full power until break-in is complete.

Can I use this subwoofer in a home audio system?

Yes, but you need a 12V power supply and suitable amplifier. Home theater subwoofer amplifiers or car audio amplifiers with a converter can be used.

What is the mounting depth required?

Mounting depth is 6.5 inches (165 mm). Ensure your enclosure has sufficient internal depth to avoid bottoming out.

How do I clean the subwoofer?

Gently dust the cone with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid liquids or chemicals that could damage the surround or cone.

Does the subwoofer come with a warranty?

Deaf Bonce typically offers a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Check with your dealer for specific terms.

Can I use a ported enclosure for daily listening?

Yes, ported enclosures are efficient and loud. However, ensure the port tuning is correct to avoid distortion and mechanical damage.

What is the difference between 1300 PRO and standard models?

The PRO version features a higher power handling, upgraded voice coil, and improved magnet structure for better performance.

2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make sure that your vehicle has a 12V DC electrical system with negative grounding. Before installing the amplifier in cars, trucks or buses, check the battery voltage.
2. Check the state of on-board power supply of your vehicle, the battery and the alternator. When the engine is running, depending on the ambient temperature, the voltage to be outputted by the alternator must be within the range of 14 to 14.7 V. Open circuit voltage (OCV) of the battery must be within the range of 12.5 to 13 V. Make sure that the rated current of the alternator and the battery capacity is enough to provide increased consumption.
   For example, for the power of the amplifier 1000 W, the rated current of the alternator is required at the rate of 1000 W / 13 V = 77 amperes. A more powerful amplifier requires a more powerful alternator as well as an additional battery.
3. Do not place the amplifier in the engine compartment and also in the places exposed to water, moisture, dust or dirt.
4. 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.
5. The amplifier should be installed in areas of the car where the temperature varies from 0 °C (32 °F) to 55 °C (131 °F). The amplifier should be in a place with a good air circulation. The horizontal position of the amplifier is the best way to install.
6. During the operation the amplifier may be heated up to 80 °C (176 °F). Before you touch it, make sure it is not overheated that may be dangerous.
7. To improve the cooling of the amplifier, it is recommended to clean periodically the heatsink from dust. When cleaning the heatsink strong solvents should not be used as they may damage the amplifier. Do not use compressed air, because solids can penetrate inside the amplifier. Cleanings best done with wet towels or cloth.
8. Make sure that the location of the amplifier does not violate the proper operation of mechanical and electrical devices of the vehicle.
9. Make sure that during the installation and connection of the battery, the power cables are not shorted.
10. 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.
11. To protect the wires 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.
12. Make sure that all the cables are fixed over the entire length. Also make sure that their outer protective shell is non-combustible. Use a clamping screw to secure the positive and negative cables next to the appropriate terminals of the amplifier.
13. Select a diameter of the power cable in accordance with the power of the amplifier and the recommendations provided here. Power cables are extremely important since they directly affect the system damping factor and sound quality. The cables to the battery must be in the copper crimp terminals pressed with the help of a hydraulic press, and well fixed to the battery terminals.
14. To avoid accidental damage, keep the amplifier in its original packaging prior to installation.
15. Use high-quality copper speaker and power cables.

CAUTION!!! High sound pressure can damage your health!

Please use the common sense when controlling volume!

3. TYPICAL INSTALLATION SEQUENCE

Step 1. Connect the speaker cable from (+) terminal of the amplifier to (+) terminal of the subwoofer.

Step 2. Connect the speaker cable from (-) terminal of the amplifier to (-) terminal of the subwoofer.

Step 3. Connect one end of the power cable from (+) terminal of the battery and the second end to the amplifier terminal marked with +12V. Do not forget to protect positive power cable with appropriate fuse.

Step 4. Connect one end of the power cable from (-) terminal of the battery and the second end of the grounding cable to the terminals marked with GND.

Step 5. Connect one end of the cable to the Remote output terminal at the HU and the second end to the amplifier terminal marked with REM IN.

Step 1. Connect one end of the RCA cable to the RCA output terminals at the HU and the second end to the amplifier RCA input terminals marked with INPUT.
