Product Overview

The SC-IW (In-Wall) subwoofer can be installed in a variety of locations and positions in any given installation. Although this product is extremely versatile and flexible in its uses, it has been specifically designed for two major applications - New Construction Installations and Retro-Fit Installations in structures made of traditional 2x4 studs with 16 inch spacing, on-center.

This document provides the detailed process for properly installing the SC-IW into a wall. The SC-IW is designed to be powered by the SC-1250 subwoofer amplifier. For maxiumum performance, it is strongly recommended that only the SC-1250 be used to power the SC-IW. The user’s manual for the SC-1250 subwoofer amplifier provides the details on connectivity and proper configuration of the SC-IW after installation.

Driver Technology

The SC-IW subwoofer utilizes new and innovative patent-pending driver technology that has been created specifically for the custom installation market. The SC-IW driver was specially designed to maximize in-wall subwoofer performance while significantly reducing wall vibration. The driver uses "dual tandem spider design" along with a propriety neodymium motor structure providing an extremely long-throw driver capable of producing very high sound pressure levels. Below is a cross section of the SC-IW driver.

Cabinet Technology

 

Complimenting the cutting edge technology in the SC-IW driver is the cabinet, again specially

designed for in-wall installations. The SC-IW cabinet wall utilizes a propriety multilayer "sandwich"

material consisting of two 1.0 mm aluminum plates surrounding 2.5 mm of medium density

fiberboard (MDF) which is laminated under high pressure to create an extremely rigid cabinet

design that has the density and performance of traditional high end cabinets utilizing 3/4 or 1
