Using the Floor Pads for Subwoofer

If the subwoofer is placed on a hard floor (wood, vinyl, tile, etc.) and playback is very loud, the subwoofer's feet may damage the flooring. To prevent this, place the sup- plied pads underneath the subwoofer's feet. The pads also provide a stable base for the subwoofer.
