Edge Car Audio ED5 Subwoofer User Manual
Citation preview
INTRODUCTIONThis instruction manual is for your safety and must be adhered to at all times. Please read and ensure that you fully understand the installation and set up procedures as explained. If you are unclear on the installation or set up of your EDGE speakers please contact your nearest authorised EDGE dealer.
Contents1x EDGE woofers8 x Fixing screws.
1 x Cut out template. 2 x Lengths of speaker cable.
Warranty card
WARNINGDO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO DAMP OR MOISTURE - doing so may result in fire,
shock or damage to the product.BEFORE WIRING DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL -
failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury.ENSURE GOOD AND CORRECT CONNECTIONS - failure to make the correct connections
may result in fire or damage to the product.DO NOT USE ANY FUNCTIONS OF THIS EQUIPMENT THAT MAY TAKE YOUR
CONCENTRATION AWAY FROM DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE - do not set up your amplifier whilst driving, doing so may result in an accident. For prolonged setting up, make sure that
your vehicle is stationary and in a safe location.KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL SO YOU CAN STILL HEAR OUTSIDE NOISE - failure to do this may result in an accident. EDGE equipment is capable of producing sound levels that can permanently damage your hearing. EDGE recommends caution when listening at high volume. For safe and enjoyable listening the sound should be comfortable and clear without distortion.
CAUTIONNever connect any speaker lead to the car chassis. This can cause severe damage to your
speaker /car radio /amplifier.Before drilling or cutting any holes, investigate the layout of your vehicle thoroughly.
Use caution when working near the fuel / hydraulic lines and electrical wiring.Observe the correct polarity when wiring, improper phasing may cause a loss of bass
response.Ensure that no moving parts catch on the speaker or grill (e.g. window or door handles, or
window glass inside the door)
Run in procedureEDGE 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.
For the first 30 hours it is recommended that you play the Subwoofer initially at low to medium volumes, gradually increasing the volume level as time progresses.
As a guide, if you listen to your Subwoofer for 1 hour every day it will take a month for the subwoofer to run in properly.
You will notice a big change in the sound of the Subwoofer over this period. As the spider and surround begin to run in the sound will get deeper and harder, also the output of the Subwoofer will increase as the suspension loosens up.
The Subwoofer is like your car’s engine, it needs a few thousand miles before you can drive it to its full potential. Driving it into the redline from the first day will mean engine damage is certain and will not be covered by warranty.
Failure to follow this simple procedure is the most common reason for a Subwoofer to fail after a very short period of time.
Wiring optionsThe EDGE subwoofer has a dual 2 ohm voice coil. Below are a few different wiring examples, please check with your amplifier

Installation The EDGE subwoofer can be installed in a variety of different ways, the most suitable will depend upon your application.
Sealed enclosure installationThe most basic and simple of all speaker enclosures is the sealed enclosure otherwise referred to as an acoustic suspension design. They are called acoustic suspension enclosures because the air inside the box acts like a brake to control the woofer.The sealed enclosure is the easiest design to build and tune, as long as you work within the minimum and maximum recommended volumes you cannot get it wrong. The smaller enclosures produce a tighter punchy bass, the larger enclosures produce a deeper bass. Sealed enclosures offer high power handling, tight response and smooth low end roll off and cone motion is better controlled at all frequencies because of the constant pressure on the back of the woofer.Sealed enclosures are ideally suited to rock, jazz and live music.
Ported enclosure installation A ported or vented enclosure is not much more complex than a sealed design. It consists of a box with a hole in it.The vented enclosure has to be correctly designed in order to function correctly. The vent in the enclosure interacts with the air in the cabinet and the woofer to increase output and reduce cone excursion at and around the tuning frequency.At the tuning frequency of the enclosure almost all of the bass is being produced by the vent, not the woofer. It is more difficult to achieve good performance as the enclosure volume and port volume are critical but the results are worth it as the ported box is up to 3 times as loud as the same woofer in a sealed box. It is also possible with the correct tuning to add a “bump” in the response of the enclosure to boost bass at a preferred frequency. Vented enclosures are best suited to dance, R&B, electronically produced music and high SPL applications.

Enclosure construction
Use at least 3/4 inch MDF (medium density fibreboard) or Birch ply to construct your enclosure and at least 1 inch is recommended for the baffle. It is recommend that the panels are glued, screwed and braced with sections of the same material you have used to build the enclosure from. The BlackAir woofer is capable of producing internal pressures that can literally blow apart badly made enclosures, so great care needs to be taken with the construction and bracing of your enclosure. It is also worth sealing the joints with a silicone sealer once the glue has dried to make a perfect airtight seal.
NOTE- Do not screw the Subwoofer into the enclosure within 24 hours of applying silicone sealer to the joints.The gases given off as the silicone cures can perish the surround of the Subwoofer causing a non warranty failure.
Enclosure Volume
To work out the volume required for your enclosure please refer to recommended enclosure volumes specified for your Subwoofer. These are listed in cubic feet. To convert cubic feet to litres multiply the cubic feet by 28.3. If you use this formula calculating your enclosure size will be easy .1 cubic foot is expressed as 12” x 12” x 12” = 1728 cubic inches

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”.
So our depth is 14.4” for this enclosure.
Note : this formula is for the INTERNAL dimensions, please add the thickness of the material used to construct the enclosure to the formula to give you the outside dimensions.
So assuming we are using 1 inch material we need to add 2 thicknesses to each internal dimension to allow for material top and bottom, so the external dimensions for this enclosure would be 17 x 22 x 16.4 inches.
The displacement of the woofer and the displacement of the port must also be added to the required volume before you calculate the required sizes needed to build your enclosure.
NOTE- When using a port you must leave a gap at least equal to the shortest measurement of the port between the rear of the enclosure and the port.
