Thank you for purchasing the Adire Audio Brahma! You own the most advanced subwoofer on
the market today, featuring the patent-pending XBL2 Technology that drastically reduces driver
distortion. Brahma can provide more clean and deep bass than any other subwoofer on the
market. We believe it is the current state-of-the-art in low distortion, extreme sound quality
subwoofers for the autosound market available today.

This short manual is meant to introduce you to the features and care of your new sub. Read this
manual over prior to use of the Brahma; it contains invaluable advice and will help your sub
perform its best over a long time.

1 - This is the nominal impedance of the driver. Each voice coil is 2 Ohms nominal; series connection would
be 4 Ohms nominal

2 - Each voice coil is 1.3 Ohms; series connection would be 2.6 Ohms
3 - Each voice coil is 4.4 mH; series connection would be 8.8 mH
4 - Pmax is the maximum continuous electrical power; mechanical power handling is COMPLETELY

dependent upon the application, and can be considerably lower than the electrical power handling.
Pmax is NOT a "required" level of power for a driver. We rate per IEC 268-5.
5 - This is true reference efficiency; for voltage sensitivity at 2.83Vrms, add 3 dB for series (4 Ohm) wiring and
9 dB for parallel (1 Ohm) wiring
