• Wins: Stel die versterking om by die uitsetvolume te pastage of your head unit. Do not use the gain control as a volume knob; excessive gain can lead to clipping and damage.
• Laedeurlaatfilter (LPF): Set the LPF to filter out high frequencies, typically between 60 Hz and 100 Hz, depending on your system and preference.
• Subsoniese filter: If available, set the subsonic filter slightly below your enclosure's tuning frequency to protect the subwoofer from over-excursion at very low frequencies.
• Bas hupstoot: Use bass boost sparingly, if at all. Excessive bass boost can cause clipping and damage.

3. Listening Levels

While the DDX-15 D2 is designed for high power handling, prolonged listening at extreme volumes can cause hearing damage and potentially shorten the lifespan of the subwoofer. Listen responsibly.
