Safe & Proper Handling Of Your Subwoofer.

The "S" subwoofer system weighs over 40 Lbs. It is considerably heavy for an average person to carry or maneuver. To prevent injuries, and eliminate any possible damage to your subwoofer, we encourage you to employ the help of a friend when unpacking the unit; further we suggest the following:

#1. Always wear a back support belt when carrying / lifting the subwoofer. #2. If possible, get someone to help you move the subwoofer around.

#3. Do not apply pressure or push against the face of the speaker; this will cause irreparable damage to the cone and suspension. #4. When carrying the subwoofer, make sure that the speaker is on the other side, away from your chest (eliminating the chance of pushing against the face of the speaker).

#5. Do not drop the subwoofer, or subject it to sudden shocks. This will damage the external finish and weaken the enclosure, creating air leaks.

#6. Avoid exposing the subwoofer to moisture. Water will damage the wood structure as well as the amplifier and speakers.

#7. Cleaning the subwoofer is best done using soft cloth; if needed, use mild detergent with water. Like with any other electrical unit, always unplug the subwoofer before cleaning it.

Warning: Safe Listening Level.

CAUTION: this subwoofer system is capable of generating high sound pressure levels. You should exercise caution when operating this subwoofer system. Long term exposures to high levels of sound pressure will cause permanent damage to your hearing. Sound pressure levels exceeding 85dB can be dangerous with constant exposure. Set your audio system to a comfortable loudness level. This subwoofer system is designed to generate high levels of low frequencies (110 dB to 128 dB at 15 Hz to 20 Hz) and this will transmit a tremendous amount of vibration into walls, shelves and the structure; thus causing sheet rock flexing, glass and other objects to fall off shelves. Earthquake Sound Corporation does not assume liability for damages resulting from the direct use of the subwoofer , and urges users to play it in moderate levels.
