INSTALLATION AND SETUP (CONT.)
SETTING DBO� The Dynamic Bass Optimizer (DBO) is used to enhance low-frequency reproduction in a vehicle. Conventional bass-boost circuits only increase bass at a fixed frequency, and cause the amplifier to consume considerable power. The DBO allows you to adjust the frequency (20Hz � 80Hz) as well as the boost level (up to 12dB; see Figure 14), allowing you to fine-tune the bass in your system to optimize performance. For sealed enclosures, the DBO can be used to enhance the lower bass region of sealed enclosures. For bigger/fuller bass, adjust the HP FREQ between 35Hz and 45Hz; adjust the BOOST control according to your preference. For tighter-sounding bass, adjust the HP FREQ between 45Hz and 55Hz; adjust the BOOST control according to your preference. For vented enclosures, the DBO should be used as a subsonic filter to reduce overexcursion of the woofers. Set the HP FREQ control 10Hz below the tuning frequency of the enclosure (e.g., 25Hz for a box tuning of 35Hz); adjust the BOOST control to taste. This will conserve amplifier power typically wasted on frequencies below the tuned frequency of the enclosure. For infinite-baffle applications, set the HP FREQ to the speaker�s Fs value (reducing overexcursion of the woofer); adjust the Boost control to taste. Figure 14. Frequency-response curves show typical DBO control ranges.
