2 INST ALLA TION W ARNINGS AND TIPS WARNING Playing loud music in an automobile can hinder your ability to hear traffic, as well as permanently damage your hearing. We recommend listening at low levels while driving. JBL accepts no liability for hearing loss, bodily injury or property damage resulting from use or misuse of this product.
GTi Series subwoofers are optimized to perform best in small sealed, vented and bandpass enclosures. While infinite- baffle mounting of GTi Series subs is possible, power handling will be compromised since there will be no enclosed volume of air to help the speaker’s suspension control the motion of the woofer’s cone.
4 ENCLOSURE CONSTRUCTION Please observe the following suggestions when building an enclosure for GTi Series subwoofers. 1. Choose an enclosure design from the Enclosure Design Sheet included with your subwoofer. 2. Use at least 3/4" (19mm) MDF (medium density fiberboard) or marine birch plywood to build the enclosure.
At extremely high power, each coil will enter the other coil’s magnetic gap. This will cause magnetic braking, which will slow the cone’s motion and prevent damage due to overexcursion. For a GTi Series woofer, X max is determined by the amount of voice-coil overhang between the first and second top plates.
