User Manual for AudioControl Space Series SPC-W10 Subwoofer

Quick guide from the manual

The AudioControl SPC-W10 is a sealed wedge enclosure featuring a 10-inch subwoofer. This guide provides essential information for safe installation and optimal performance. Always ensure the enclosure is securely mounted in your vehicle and that you avoid drilling into fuel or electrical lines. Use 10-14 gauge speaker wire for connections and consider using a subsonic filter set 1/2 octave below the enclosure's frequency response to prevent damage.

Important safety instructions

• Vehicle Safety: The enclosure must be properly secured. Improper installation can lead to injury or death.
• Drilling Warning: Before drilling, inspect the area for fuel lines, power cables, and electrical wiring.
• Wiring: Use 10-14 gauge speaker wire to ensure adequate current.
• Protection: Use a subsonic filter set 1/2 octave below Fb (Hz) to prevent excessive cone excursion.
• Hearing: Exposure to high sound pressure levels can cause permanent hearing loss.

Connection methods

The enclosure offers two connection methods. Only one is required.

Quick-Plug harness

This harness uses red (positive) and black (negative) 12-gauge wires. The wires are pre-tinned. It is recommended to use solder and heat-shrink for an optimal connection. Once prepared, lift the rubber cover and plug in the harness.

Standard speaker push terminals

Strip at least 1/2 inch of insulation from your speaker wire to expose the copper or silver strands. Push down on each terminal and insert the wire. Red is positive, black is negative.

Enclosure mounting

The enclosure includes a versatile mounting system. Always check for obstructions before drilling.

Back mount

Mount the bracket to the enclosure using the included M6 x 8mm screw. Each left and right bracket uses one screw. Once the bracket is attached to the enclosure, use the M6 screw to secure it to the vehicle.

Floor mount
