6. Operating Instructions
The Memphis Audio SRX Pro 6.5" speaker is a passive component and requires an external amplifier for operation. Proper amplifier setup is crucial for optimal sound quality and speaker longevity.
- Amplifier Connection: Ensure your amplifier is properly connected to your head unit and power source.
- Gain Setting: Set the amplifier's gain control correctly. Start with the gain at its minimum, then slowly increase it until you hear distortion, then back off slightly. This ensures the amplifier is not overdriving the speakers.
- Crossover Settings: If your amplifier or head unit has crossover settings, it is recommended to use a high-pass filter (HPF) to protect the speakers from low-frequency signals they are not designed to reproduce. A typical starting point for a 6.5" speaker might be 80-100 Hz.
- Volume Control: Always adjust the system volume from your head unit. Avoid pushing the system to extreme volumes where distortion is audible, as this can damage the speakers.
7. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your Memphis Audio SRX Pro speakers.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe down the speaker cone and surround. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Protection: While the speaker is designed for durability, avoid direct exposure to excessive moisture, extreme temperatures, or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
- Inspection: Periodically check the speaker for any signs of damage, loose connections, or debris.
8. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your SRX Pro speaker, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
