Congratulations on purchasing your VIBE Space subwoofer. Please read this manual in order to fully understand how to get the best results from your subwoofer and ensure that all advice on how to look after the Subwoofer is followed.

Run in procedure VIBE recommends that you follow the run in procedure for the subwoofer detailed below. When your Subwoofer is used for the first time, like most brand new items it is naturally very stiff and rigid. It will take time for the moving parts of this Subwoofer to loosen up before the Subwoofer will be ready to deliver its full potential.
Free-air installation The VIBE Space Subwoofer can be mounted free-air, but this does not mean that the woofer can work without any form of enclosure. What it does mean is that the enclosure can be very large and therefore the subwoofer can utilise the vehicles boot as an enclosure.

If we require a volume of 2.5cuft then we multiply this by 1728 2.5 x 1728= 4320 cubic inches. We now take 2 known enclosure dimensions that we will use, e.g height and width and divide this figure by them which will give us the depth, for example our height is 15”, our width is 20”.
