Installation

Observe the following general precautions and read the safety instructions before powering your Earthquake subwoofer.

•Never open the cabinet or remove the metal control panel as this might result in an electrical shock to you, or damage to the unit.

•Protect it from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and other direct sources of heat, such as heating vents and radiators.

•To prevent fire or shock, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. If fluid or a foreign object should enter the unit, immediately turn off the power contact your Earthquake dealer.

•Avoid excessive exposure to extreme cold or dust.

•Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.

•Do not place the subwoofer with its control panel against the floor.

•If you wish to place your woofer so the drivers face the floor and ceiling, thereby moving up and down, use at least 1-1 ½ inch high spikes or feet for support. They may be attached either with screws or self-stick backing . This arrangement will impart substantial house and floor shaking motion.

Heat Rise

•Allow adequate ventilation around the metal control panel of the subwoofer.

•Do not let anything come into contact with the panel and keep at least two inches away from any walls.

The metal control plate serves as the amplifier heat sink and also as a conduit to remove internal heat to the outside and into the atmosphere. It can reach temperatures of 60° C, which will feel hot to the touch, using nerves of flesh and blood as temperature sensors. As uncomfortable as it may feel, 60 degrees C cannot burn you, and in fact is almost cool to copper, silicon, steel, and aluminum the material from which your woofer is constructed.

AC Power Considerations

Ensure that the unit is plugged into an outlet capable of supplying the correct voltage specified for your model.

Unplug your subwoofer's power cord from the electrical outlet if it will be left unused for a long period of time.

Route the power-supply cord so it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by especially at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where it exits from the unit.

Magnetic Fields

We recommend that you place your woofer further than two feet away from your TV, VCR, DVD player, tape deck or computer, so the speaker's magnet won't distort the color of you TV picture or erase your video tapes, audio tapes, discs...etc.
