Due to Phoenix Gold's extensive use of automotive grade rubber materials, we recommend detailing these rubber components just as you would any other parts of your car.

All rubber parts have been pretreated with Meguiar's brand rubber protectant. This ensures a rich, natural shine for your subwoofer. Over time if your woofer’s rubber parts become dirty or loose some of their luster, simply reapply with Meguiar's rubber protectant. This complex formula includes cleaning agents that help remove dirt and grime and replenish that lush, like new look.

To apply, simply wipe the subwoofer's rubbers parts (boot, mounting gasket, etc) with Meguiar's rubber treatment. Then with a separate clean cloth buff the remaining treatment from the woofer until a lush, natural shine is present on the rubber parts. For a satin finish complete this cleaning process once, for a glossy finish repeat the process twice. Please be careful not to apply excessive pressure on the raised Xenon lettering on the mounting gasket.

The Xenon subwoofers are over-engineered and overbuilt in virtually every way conceivable. It’s very important that the enclosure is built to these same exacting standards. The enclosure must be made of .75 inch MDF. Screws or air staples are excellent construction fasteners when used with a strong bonding “yellow” wood working glue that can fill joint gaps. Be sure that the enclosure panels are airtight at all joining seams. Lining the walls with a polyester matting 1 to 3 inches thick is sufficient.

Your PG dealer has extensive knowledge, tools and the experience needed for the design and construction necessary for your

Xenon

subwoofer application. We also recommend you consult with your dealer for specific technical assistance related to your installation. The charts provided should be used as a reference when building an enclosure for your

Xenon subwoofer.

The charts contain several enclosure types. The Musical enclosure provides deeper, tighter and higher quality output to provide a more accurate reproduction of the original source material. The SPL enclosure, on the other hand, fits the basshead’s needs of maximum output while sacrificing some sound quality.

Custom tooled Spider Dual Spider housing with integrated Hex Bolt Speaker Terminal

The

Xenon

subwoofer was developed from the ground up to

compliment the amazing performance of our

Xenon

Series amplifiers. Utilizing cutting edge design techniques, we can deliver a woofer that has an impressive peak to peak linear field excursion of up to 40mm. The injection-molded 8 piece dust cap in conjunction with the custom injection-molded polypropylene cone provides

exceptional musicality at very high drive levels. All of the motor (Xe. drive) and suspension (Xe.linear) parts have been computer optimized to provide symmetrical driving force in both directions. This translates into very low distortion and exceptional output even as your amplifier is running out of steam.
