You have purchased a very sophisticated subwoofer manufactured by
Ultimate Sound. Founded in 1975, Ultimate Sound makes speakers
for every car audio application, speakers for marine environments,
enclosed speaker systems, amplifiers, accessories and other products. Our
tradition of leadership and innovation in the audio industry continues with
innovative products like Cupric Subwoofers.
We recommend you have your new Cupric Subwoofers installed by a
professional. Professional installation shops have the equipment to do the
job correctly, and the experience to recommend the best mounting
locations in your vehicle.
Please use your new Cupric Subwoofers responsibly. Very loud music
can cause permanent hearing loss.
CUPRIC SUBWOOFERS FEATURE:
• Aluminum/Copper Alloy Cone- Stronger, lighter and more rigid
than low carbon steel.
• Anti-resonant coating- Eliminates the “Ringing” sound often
associated with improperly designed metal cones.
• 1.5 inch/38mm Cone Travel- For high output at the longer wave
lengths of very low frequencies.
• Kapton Voice Coil Former- Higher power handling than
aluminum voice coil formers.
• 4 Layer voice coil windings- Keep more wire in the magnetic gap for
more output.
• Deep-draw Basket- To accommodate the long excursion capability
of the suspension and voice coil.
Cast Aluminum Basket- Keeps the voice coil perfectly aligned even
•
at extreme power levels and eliminates stray magnetic fields that waste
power.
• Butyl Rubber Surround-
last longer than foam surrounds
• Vented, extended pole piece- Keeps the voice coil cool during long
excursions at high power.
• Perimeter Venting- For additional air circulation and cooling.
• Gold Plated Binding Posts- For dependable, heavy duty connections.

IV. Installation- Sealed Enclosures
1. Sealed enclosures provide excellent performance with Cupric
Subwoofers. They are the simplest enclosures to design and build.
We recommend you choose a sealed design if you have not built
subwoofer enclosures before. Remember to glue and screw all joints,
using enough glue to make sure all joints are air tight. Loosely fill the
enclosure with fiberglass, poly-fill, or cotton damping material.
