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.

Installation

1.Place the speaker assembly in your vehicle. Common placement will normally be the trunk, back seat, or back of a van.

2.Connect each speaker to an amplifier output (not supplied), observing that the polarity markings on the back of the speaker enclosure are connected to the corresponding polarities on the amplifier.

NOTES:

•Do not use an amplifier that can drive the speakers beyond their specifications.

•Leave at least three inches of clear space in front of the port(s) and woofer(s) to allow for adequate air flow and woofer movement without obstruction. Orienting the woofers toward the rear of the vehicle will in most instances enhance the bass performance.

WARNING: Loose objects can become projectiles in the event of a rapid deceleration, abrupt turn or accident. Secure the enclosure in place with the mounting brackets provided to prevent it from shifting.
