Alpine SWD-1600 Car Speaker User Manual


 
EN
1. Set the gain to MIN, Phase to NORM, LPF to CENTER before switching on the system.
2. Set the Bass/Treble adjustment to zero on the head unit. Set the volume to your average
listening level. It may help to use a music source that is familiar.
3. Next, gradually increase the gain level. Increase the level to the point where the sound of
your system, as a whole, is balanced. If the gain level is set too high, the subwoofer may
begin to distort. Distortion may also occur if the volume is set too high on the head unit.
Check that the other speakers have not begun to distort, before proceeding with the
adjustment. If the entire speaker system in the car is distorting, reduce the volume of the
head unit.
4. Once the gain has been set, adjust the L.P.F (Low Pass Filter) at a frequency which
compliments your speaker system. (We recommend using CENTER as a starting point.)
5. Adjusting the L.P.F will change the output volume of the subwoofer. Repeat procedures 3
and 4 until the ideal setting is found.

4. ADJUSTMENT
The final adjustment is the PHASE of the subwoofer. While sitting in the driver’s seat and with
music playing, switch between NORM and REV. Select the setting which sounds better – The
ideal PHASE setting varies from car to car, depending on the location of the subwoofer and
the acoustic characteristics of the vehicle interior.
