PRACTICE SAFE SOUND™
High-powered car audio systems may produce sound pressure levels that
exceed the threshold at which hearing loss may result. They may also impair a
driver’s ability to hear traffic sounds or emergency vehicles. Use common sense
and practice safe listening habits when listening to or adjusting your audio
system. If your subwoofer enclosure is installed in the passenger compartment, make sure
it is restrained from moving in case of an accident.
