Dear customer,

Congratulations on your purchase of a Bazooka EL high-performance subwoofer. At Bazooka we are fanatics about accurate music reproduction. Your selection of our products for your sound system indicates that quality sound is also important to you too. At SAS, we take great pride in manufacturing revolutionary audio products, and through the years of engineering expertise, hand craftsmanship and critical testing procedures, we have created the EL high-performance series of subwoofers. We hope that you will take as much pride in owning and using one of these high-quality audio products as we do designing and manufacturing them.

When properly installed and operated, your Bazooka EL subwoofer will give you years of clean uninterrupted sound reproduction. Therefore, we urge you to take a few minutes to carefully read through this manual. It will explain how to properly build an enclosure to optimize performance and longevity of the subwoofer.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing comfort level adapts to higher volumes of sound. What may have sounded normal can actually be too loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level before your hearing adapts.

To establish a “safe level”,

Start with your volume control at a low setting.

Slowly increase the volume control until you can hear comfortably, clearly and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable “sound level”, make a note of this position and do not go above this setting

Taking a minute to do this will help prevent your hearing from being damaged and allow you to enjoy listening to music throughout your lifetime.
