Gently remove your X-Ref 10 from the packing carton and remove all wrappings and shipping material. Use care when handling or lifting the X-Ref 10 since it is quite heavy.

It is important to save the box and all packing materials in case your X-Ref 10 subwoofer ever needs to be moved or shipped back to the factory for service.

Please keep your sales receipt in a safe place. It is the easiest way to verify your purchase date for warranty purposes, and may also be required if you ever have to file an insurance claim.
