I. Introduction
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 Platinum Format loudspeakers with HEATT™ Technology.
We recommend you have your new Platinum Format loudspeakers 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 Platinum Format loudspeakers responsibly. Very loud music can cause permanent hearing loss.
PLATINUM FORMAT FEATURES:
∙HEATT™ Technology means our Platinum Format drivers handle more power with less distortion. A layer of nickel, bonded to an injection molded cone, dissipates heat from the voice coil. The nickel layer also increases the stiffness of the cone for less harmonic distortion at high power.
∙The Butyl Rubber Surround has superior damping characteristics and will last longer than foam surrounds
∙Aluminum Voice Coil Former- Improves thermal power handling by conducting heat away from the coil, into the HEATT™ cone.
∙A Black Chrome Plated Frame provides a striking appearance in keeping with the "Platinum" designation.
∙Spring Loaded Platinum Terminals- Simple, reliable connection and a distinctive look.
∙A Rubber Magnet Cover protects the magnet from chipping or breaking.

IV. InstallationSealed Enclosures
1.Sealed enclosures provide excellent performance with Platinum Format 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.

V.InstallationPorted Enclosures
1.Ported enclosures use a tuned vent to get additional output at the tuning frequency. Smaller ports than recommended may cause noise from air turbulence. Flared ports will produce less turbulence and noise.
Remember to glue and screw all joints, using enough glue to make sure all joints are air tight.
2.Make sure there is at least 2” between the end of the port and the adjacent wall of the enclosure.
