POWERBASS XTREME LOADED ENCLOSURE FEATURES
Heavy-duty Box Design: The enclosure is constructed from 1/2” MDF panels that have been
glued, braced and sealed. Each box is nished in a stylish RFG aviation grade vinyl covering.
Slot Port Bass System: Utilizing a Slot Port design offers increased efciency at low frequencies.
Proprietary 4-layer, Non-pressed Paper, DDC Finish Cone: The premium grade cones
on these subwoofers are blend of papers and wood pulps, and coated in DDC to protect the cone
and eliminate distortion. This results in an extremely stiff cone that is resistant to environmen-
tal elements while remaining exceptionally stable even under the stress of high sound pressure
levels.
U-Turn High Roll Santoprene Surround: This high roll surround ensures a long and linear
cone travel throughout the entire excursion range resulting in higher SPL. The non-standard U
design also gives the woofer more surface area for maximum bass output.
Chrome Push Input Terminals: These high strength compression loaded speaker terminals
ensure maximum current and power transfer.
Vented BASV Voice Coil Former: The specially designed resin coated high temperature voice
coil measures a full 2-inches in diameter to ensure high power handling and precise linear excur-
sion while maximizing thermal heat dissipation.
Computer Optimized Acoustic Chamber: Perfectly optimized for the car environment.
This system has been tuned to 30Hz for tight and accurate bass response.

UNPACKING THE ENCLOSURE
Every attempt has been made to transport your new PowerBass Subwoofer system safely. Carefully
unpack the enclosure and inspect it thoroughly for any damage that may have occurred during ship-
ping. Notify your local PowerBass dealer immediately should you notice any damage prior to installing
the unit. Be sure to keep the carton and packing material until your system is operational. The original
boxes will do the best job of protecting your speaker system if they need to be transported.
INSTALLATION EXPERIENCE
Installation of PowerBass Xtreme Speakers requires experience with a variety of mechanical and elec-
trical procedures. This manual only provides general installation and operating instructions. If you
have any reservations about your installation skills or lack the proper tools, please contact your local
PowerBass Xtreme dealer for assistance.
ENCLOSURE PLACEMENT TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Your PowerBass Slot Port Subwoofer system accurately reproduces the lowest portion of the audible
frequency range, which is generally considered to be non-directional. As such, the placement within the
vehicle is not as critical to achieve good sound reproduction as with full range systems. Typical loca-
tions include sedan and hatchback trunks and rear cargo areas of vans, mini-vans and utility vehicles.

The following placement recommendations and installation tips are the result of many hours of de-
velopment and experimentation. These examples are provided to you as a guide line. Please feel free
to experiment yourself as you may find that other placements can provide you with superior results.
Make sure all moving parts and factory electrical wires are out of your way and will not interfere
after installation.
Leave a little slack in the wire to prevent pulling or stretching, this is even more important if the
wires will be run under or through the factory interior.
Use cable ties and wire clamps to prevent the wires from getting caught or shorted.
We do not recommend placing or installing loaded enclosures where they might be subjected to
moisture.
Correct subwoofer polarity must be observed. The polarity positive side is marked by a (+) sign.
Subwoofers wired out of phase will produce little bass.
• Speaker wires should be electrically and physically isolated from the vehicle and routed away from
any factory wiring that carries high currents or noise (ie, ABS brake systems and engine computer
signals).
Use speaker wire large enough to carry the full power of your amplier. 14-gauge or larger should
be adequate. (Speaker wire not included)
Your PowerBass Bass Slot Port Subwoofer system needs to be installed some place where it can
operate efficiently and not endanger the occupants of the vehicle.
The location and orientation of your enclosure will affect the quality and quantity of the bass. The
port (vent) opening cannot be obstructed. At some frequencies most of the bass will come out of
the port tube. Therefore we recommend you leave at least 3-inches (7.62cm) between the slot port
opening and interior surfaces such as side panels, seats and doors.
If the enclosure is to be mounted all the way in the back of the vehicle, it works best to point the
woofer toward the front of the vehicle. Conversely, if the enclosure is going to be mounted closer to
the back seat, pointing the woofer toward the rear of the vehicle will give you the best results. Even
when the enclosure is placed inside a car trunk with no opening to the passenger compartment, the
Slot Port design will produce strong and full bass.
NOTE: Allow at least 3/4 inch (19mm) clearance in front of the woofer cone to accomodate
speaker excursion while playing music. Any obstruction of cone movement will damage the
woofer.

WIRING AND CONNECTIONS
The PowerBass Slot Port subwoofer system consists of a single 4-ohm voice coil woofer. Check to see
that your amplifier is optimized to drive this load.
A single compression terminal cup provides a quick and easy connection from your bass amplifier to
your Slot Port system. The spring loaded metal terminals can accomodate up to 8ga wire.
WARNING: Permanent mounting is not only the safest installation, but usually produces the best
sound quality. This custom enclosure is heavy and has a smooth surface finish, which may slide
around during aggressive driving, sudden stops or road vibration. To avoid vehicle damage or per-
sonal injury please ensure that the enclosure is securely mounted to a surface with adequate strength
and rigidity to support it.
1/2”
The compression terminal input cup is located on the side of the enclosure (Fig 1). For a bare wire
connection, strip 1/2 inch (12.7mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors of your speaker
wire (not included) to expose bare metal (Fig 2). Carefully twist each of the conductors to eliminate
any frayed ends. Push open both terminals, line up the holes, and insert the wires from your amplifier
as follows: Positive wire (+) to the Red terminal, Negative wire (-) to the Black terminal. Be careful
not to insert the insulated part of the wire into the hole as this will not give you a good connection.

SOUND CHECK
RECOMMENDED POWER
The XL-WB8 is designed to handle up to 200 watts RMS (continuous) and 400 watts maximum
(peak) of input power. Therefore an outboard amplier optimized at 4-ohms will be necessary to
drive this system. You will want to use an amplier powerful enough to provide listening comfort.
Generally speaking, an amplier with the same or slightly higher power rating than the RMS power
handling should be selected.
CROSSOVER SETTINGS
The XL-WB8 is designed to reproduce low (bass) frequencies only. It does not contain a low pass
lter, therefore a crossover network is required for proper operation. If your amplier includes an
electronic (active) crossover, it should be set between 80Hz and 90Hz. Optimum adjustment can
be achieved after listening to your favorite music and varying the crossover frequency.
If your amplier is equipped with a Subsonic Filter it should be set to 25Hz or higher.
BREAK IN PERIOD
To get the most from your woofer we recommend a “break-in period of (typically at least 40 hours
2 weeks) at no more than 1/3 of maximum volume. During this time the cone and spider assembly
will gradually break in resulting in greater performance and more listening enjoyment.
CAUTION: Damage to the woofers can occur when an amplifier, regardless of its wattage, is
made to play at higher listening levels than its power can clearly produce (usually beyond the 1
to 2 oclockposition on the volume control). This results in very high levels of audible distortion.
Contrary to popular belief, a speaker is more likey to be damaged by trying to get too much volume
from a low-powered amp than from a high-powered amp.
NOTE: Lack of bass output is usually caused by the subwoofer being out of phase with reference
to the rest of the system. In this case reversing the speaker connection from positive to negative on
the terminal cup will correct the problem.
