Connecting Your Polk/MOMO Custom Enclosed Subwoofers The push terminal connectors are located on the underside of the Custom Enclosure. Because of this placement, it is best to use a bare wire or pin connection. For a bare wire connection, strip 1/2 inch (12.7mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors of your wire to expose the bare metal and twist each of the conductors into a single unfrayed strand (so you have two unfrayed strands). Note that one of the terminals on the enclosure is red

(+)and the other is black (-). Make certain that you connect the wire from the red (+) terminal of your amplifier to the red terminal on the enclosure and the wire from the black (-) terminal of your amplifier to the black terminal on the enclosure. Most wire has some indicator (such as color-coding, ribbing or writing) on one of the two conductors to help you maintain consistency. To connect the bare wire to the push terminal, apply pressure to the terminal and insert the bare wire into the hole near the base and release. Do not insert the insulated part of the wire into the hole as this will not give you a good connection. Place the Custom Enclosure right side “up,” making certain that the wire runs through the ‘wire canal’ on the underside of the enclosure. Be careful not to let the full weight of the enclosure rest on the wire.

Put It In Your Trunk

Place your Polk/MOMO Custom Enclosed Subwoofer in your trunk or hatchback. Experi- ment to find the best location for your new subwoofer. Subwoofers in trunks or hatchbacks can fire either forward or backward for best sound. Positioning can make a big difference in sound quality.
