Owners / Installation Manual

WOOFER SERIES

Congratulations on your purchase of

the Crunch Ground Pounder Series Woofer.

This manual has been prepared to help you make a decision on the woofer

enclosure, and desired tuning for a particular application. As you can see on the

following pages, there are many possible variations of woofers, and enclosure

sizes that may be used to achieve a specific performance.

Considering all space, and power handling limitations, choose the woofer and

enclosure size that will give you the desired performance for your application.

All measurements used to calculate the volume are internal measurements.

Always allow for the thickness of the wood.

frequencies, handle the bass and power you want and, provides a very musical

subwoofer

Glass Kevlar Illuminated Dust Cap – Illuminate your world with our blue LED

SoundLight

Design Spider with Woven Tinsel Leads-Allows a very reliable and

active spider and with the woven leads you need not worry about broken tinsel

leads under strenuous conditions.

NOTES

WIRING:

Wiring (Series or Parallel). The wiring of two or more drivers can effect impedance for

the entire system. Care must be taken to insure that the resulting impedance does not

exceed the amplifiers requirements or limits.

The GP10D2,GP12D2, and GP15D2 are 2-Ohm Dual-Voice-Coil (DVC). These woofers

can be wired for 4-Ohms or 1-Ohm configurations shown on page 5. GP10D4 / GP12D4

2-Ohms or 1-0Ohm wiring configurations are shown on page 6.

BRACING:

Internal bracing is encouraged to prevent flexing, and to strengthen the cabinet.

NOTE: Volume taken up by the bracing must be added to the total enclosure volume.

There are three main types of bracing, they are:

— Corner Bracing: Corner bracing helps to strengthen the cabinet and prevents

splitting of particleboard caused by screws going into the panel edge. Use a 1” X 1”

at all corner joints, glued and screwed.

— Diagonal Bracing: Diagonal bracing on all panels, prevents panel flexing under high

sound pressure conditions. Remember that any flexing panels will produce

unwanted sound vibrations, which can lead to a “muddy sound”. Use a 1”X 2”, with

1” surfaced glued and screwed to the panel.

— Cross Bracing: Cross braces used between opposite panels will tie them together

as one structure, again helping to prevent panel flexing.

CABINET MATERIAL:

Generally 5/8” to 3/4” material should be used on all enclosures. The following is a list of

commonly used construction materials.

- Baltic Birch Plywood / Marine or Exterior Rated, 13 to 19-ply min.

- Medium Density FiberBoard: The best overall material for speaker cabinets, MDF is

extremely rigid, and is able to withstand high-pressure levels.

DAMPING:

All inside surfaces should be lined with 1/2” thick Dacron fiber fill for sound

damping. Be sure to attach the insulation firmly to prevent interference with woofer(s)

and or port(s).
