Make sure that the space underneath the subwoofer is clear from obstructions. Thick carpets may block the ventilation clearance needed for cooling the amplifier unit.
The reflex port side (opposite of the con- nector panel side) should always have a clearance of at least 7,5 centimeters (3") to any objects to ensure proper functioning of the reflex port.
Flush mounting the subwoofer
If the subwoofer is flush mounted into a wall or a cabinet, it is important to ensure ampli- fier cooling and unrestricted airflow from the reflex port. This can be done by making the recess 7,5 centimeters (3") wider than the
