5. Einrichtung und Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your DS18 PRO-GM6 loudspeaker. This section provides general guidelines. Specific vehicle requirements may vary.
5.1 Planung der Installation
- Standort: Identify suitable mounting locations in your vehicle, typically door panels or custom enclosures. Ensure sufficient mounting depth (2.72 inches / 69mm) and clearance.
- Verdrahtung: Planen Sie die Verlegung der Lautsprecherkabel von Ihrem amplifier to the speaker locations. Avoid running speaker wires alongside power cables to prevent noise interference.
- AmpVerstärkerübereinstimmung: The PRO-GM6 has an 8 Ohm impedance and handles 140W RMS. Ensure your amplifier can safely deliver power within these specifications. Connecting an 8 Ohm speaker to a 4 Ohm amplifier output will result in lower power delivery than the amplifier's rated 4 Ohm output.
5.2 Montage des Lautsprechers

- Montagefläche vorbereiten: If installing in a new location, carefully cut a circular opening with a diameter of 5.70 inches (145mm). Ensure the surface is sturdy and free of obstructions.
- Sprecherposition: Place the speaker into the opening, aligning the mounting holes with the pre-drilled holes or marking new ones.
- Lautsprecher sichern: Use appropriate screws (not included) to firmly secure the speaker to the mounting surface. Do not overtighten.

6. Bedienungsanleitung
The DS18 PRO-GM6 is a midrange loudspeaker designed to reproduce frequencies between 98 Hz and 10 KHz. It should be used as part of a complete car audio system, typically paired with subwoofers for low frequencies and tweeters for high frequencies.
- Systemintegration: Connect the PRO-GM6 to an appropriate ampVerstärkerkanal.
- Crossover-Einstellungen: For optimal sound quality and speaker protection, use an electronic crossover to filter out frequencies below 98 Hz (high-pass filter) and above 10 KHz (low-pass filter). Refer to your amplifier or head unit's manual for crossover adjustments.
- Verstärkungseinstellung: Legen Sie die ampDie Verstärkerverstärkung muss korrekt an die Ausgangslautstärke angepasst werden.tage of your head unit. Avoid setting the gain too high, as this can lead to distortion and speaker damage.
- Einlaufzeit: Allow a break-in period of approximately 10-20 hours of normal listening before operating the speakers at high volumes. This allows the speaker's suspension components to loosen and perform optimally.
7. Wartung
The DS18 PRO-GM6 loudspeaker requires minimal maintenance:
- Reinigung: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the speaker cone and frame. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
- Inspektion: Überprüfen Sie regelmäßig die Lautsprecheranschlüsse auf festen Sitz und stellen Sie sicher, dass keine Drähte ausgefranst oder freiliegen.
