3.1 Lower Speaker Cabinet Set-up

CAUTION: Three people are required for the set-up procedure. To avoid injury, do NOT attempt to set-up by oneself.

1.Carefully lift and place each lower speaker cabinet in its measured final location, as it becomes more difficult to move once the Apexcouplers are attached. Carefully route the sub's integral wiring between the legs of the cabinet base, thereby protecting the wiring harnesses from becoming pinched.

WARNING: The wiring harnesses are fragile and can be easily damaged by pinching them beneath the cabinet base.

2.Lay the speaker on its side, using a blanket or other soft material to avoid scratching the finish.

3.Install three Apexcouplers on the bottom of the cabinet by fastening the threaded ends of the couplers into the cabinet inserts (see Figure 3.2). Lightly tighten the couplers and insure that the base of the coupler contacts the bottom of the recess.

4.Stand up the cabinet, again carefully routing the wiring harness to prevent it from becoming pinched.

5.Measure and adjust the location of the cabinet within the listening room. The cabinet should be set in place with a minimum of toe-in (no more than two or three degrees).
