CARE and MAINTENANCE

Your Impulse 500P Subwoofer is a sturdy and durable product, which will provide years of reliable use if properly cared for. Use common sense and read the safety warnings to avoid hazardous operating conditions.

Sunlight/Heat

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this may cause the unit to overheat and thermally shut off. Excessively hot operating conditions can also cause a thermal shutdown.

Do not store in extremely hot or cold conditions, or extremely high humidity. Always allow unit to come to room temperature before use.

Cleaning

Never clean the Impulse 500P Subwoofer while plugged in or turned on! When the unit has been fully disconnected from AC power sources, a slightly damp cloth can remove soil or other dirt. Never use strong solvents on the Impulse 500P Subwoofer, as they could attack the polymer that the cabinet is made from. Do not allow ANY fluids to drip inside the Impulse 500P Subwoofer!

Touchup

If the Impulse 500P Subwoofer cabinet should become scratched or abraded, it can be touched up using a black permanent marker. First, if the area to be touched up is larger than a short scratch, rub it lightly with an soapless plastic scrub pad. Wipe the scratched or abraded area a little at a time with the black permanent marker, and immediately wipe away the surplus with a lint-free cloth. For an overall finish enhancement and protective coating, use gloves to apply either WD-40®or Armour All® protectant to the surface of the plastic cabinet only. Notice that the cabinet will be slippery after these treatments. Rub them down vigorously with a dry lint-free cloth to minimize this.

Insert Points (maximum depth of insertion)

The insert points on the top and bottom of the cabinet must only be engaged to a depth of 3/8" or less to prevent air leaks if the mounts/bolts are removed later.

Check for Secure Hardware

After a long period of use, check the hardware of the Impulse 500P Subwoofer for tightness, including the rear panel screws, and the screws that hold the baffle and rear cabinet together. The unit is subject to a great deal of vibration, and this could cause them to be less than tight with continued use.
