Typically the ICS Sub 24 will produce the smoothest response when placed against a wall. Placement in a corner will further enhance bass output allowing you to run operate the subwoofer at a lower power level. Experiment with subwoofer placement while at the same time adjusting crossover frequency, output level, and phase. (See section on
Choose a musical selection with a heavy and continuous bass line. Play a short section several times until you have a firm impression of it in your mind. Then try another location to see if it provides smoother or more balanced response . Repeat this process until you are content with the bass response you are getting. Strive for a smooth, solid bass response that does not emphasize any part of the bass range.
Once a location for the subwoofer has been selected, you may want to attach the supplied cabinet feet. There are two side of the cabinet that have
Note: Avoid placing the ICS Sub 24 close to a television or monitor. There should be at least 8 inches (20cm) between the two components. If getting the best sound, together with the physical constrains of the room, require that the two units must be closer than that you can purchase a magnetic shielding kit from Snell Acoustics.

Note: If you are connecting the ICS Sub 24 to a THX receiver/controller, use the THX input. (See the “THX Input” section on page 6.) This bypasses all the crossover circuits and level controls in the amplifier. All audio controlling is done by the THX receiver/controller.
Setting the Internal Crossover
When using the standard Low Inputs or High Level inputs you will need to adjust the internal crossover to make the ICS Sub 24 sonically blend with the main speaker in the system.
If you are using
If you are running your main speakers full range, set the crossover close to the bass
