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 (use straps or seat belts—not provided) from moving in case of an accident.
