2.Mounting Bracket Installation - Retrofit

•Find the studs in the wall using a good stud finder. Locate the exact center between the studs by drilling a small hole as close to center as can be determined. Using a stiff wire (a coat hanger works well) bent to 90º feel for both studs through the hole. By turning the wire around you should be able to determine the middle location between the studs.

NOTE: It is very important that the mounting bracket aligns exactly in the center of the cut out hole in the drywall, or the speaker and baffle cannot be connected to the bracket!

•Once the center has been determined, use the cut-out template supplied with the subwoofer to mark and cut out the hole in the drywall.

3.Wiring

•Connect the speaker wire to the woofer, be sure to connect the "Positive" wire to the terminal marked ( + ) and the nega- tive wire to the terminal marked ( --- ). NOTE: Make sure the binding posts (wire connectors) are tightened firmly or they may rattle. The other end of the wire should be connected to the amplifier in the same manner to the 3-way binding posts marked "SUBWOOFER OUT". Make sure that the amplifier is unplugged when connecting any wires or cables to it.

4.Installing the Subwoofer

•Line up the woofer with the corresponding hole in the mounting bracket and secure the woofer to the bracket using the hardware supplied. CAUTION: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE SCREWS OR THEY MAY STRIP.

5.Mounting the Baffle

•The baffle has been specifically designed to mount to the drywall. Place the baffle into the drywall cut-out and position it. As you tighten the screws, the mounting tabs (dogs) turn out behind the drywall and clamp the baffle to the drywall.

CAUTION: BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVER TIGHTEN THE SCREWS OR THE BAFFLE WILL WARP, AND THE DOGS MAY BREAK OFF.

•Once the baffle is in place, you can gently push the grille into the slot on the baffle. Due to the nature of the system, the grille is designed to fit very tightly.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THE BBXW10 AMPLIFIER

1. Placement

DO:

•Place the amplifier with the feet resting on a solid flat level surface.

•Place the amplifier in a well-vented area to provide proper cooling. In areas that lack proper ventilation, such as tight cabinets or racks, it may be necessary to install small fans to create air movement.

DON’T:

•Don’t block the ventilation holes on the top or bottom of the amplifier. Never place it on carpeting or similar material.

•Don’t place the amplifier in any other position other than horizontal with the feet down. Never place on its side or resting on the back where the terminals are located.

•Don’t place the amplifier near heat sources, or in an area that it would be exposed to moisture.

YOU SHOULD KNOW

• The power supply may cause a hum to be heard in some components if they are placed very close to the amplifier.
