1) Unpack the contents of the box. Use caution when lifting the subwoofer.
The included carrying support rope should be utilized to help remove it from
the box.
2) Examine the silicone elbow. Note that one end is slightly larger than the
other. The smaller end attaches to the subwoofer body and the larger end
attaches to the port tube.
3) Place a stainless steel clamp ring on each end of the silicone elbow. There
are two different size clamp rings, one for the large end of the elbow, and one
for the smaller end of the elbow.
4) Attach the small end of the silicone elbow to the subwoofer body port
opening as shown.
5) Before tightening the clamp, determine the orientation that you would like
for the port tube. The speaker wire comes out of one edge of the subwoofer
and the tap setting adjustment is located near an edge of the rear panel. You
can rotate the elbow so that the speaker wire connection and tap setting
adjustment are best suited for your installation.
6) Once the orientation that you desire for the port tube is set, tighten the
clamp ring using a screwdriver until the ring is fully tightened. Making a good
seal is important both to prevent water penetration as well as to prevent audio
issues with the subwoofer.
7) Attach the canopy to the large end of the silicone elbow. Make sure that
the tube is fully seated and forms a 90 degree angle with the subwoofer.
When the tube is properly seated in the elbow, tighten the clamp ring using
a screwdriver until the ring is fully tightened. Making a good seal is important
both to prevent water penetration as well as to prevent audio issues with the
subwoofer.
8) Adjust the tap setting switch. Remove the tap setting switch cover by turning
the cover counter-clockwise. Under the cover is the tap setting switch. Set
the tap setting to the appropriate position. Use the 8Ω setting for installation
with low impedance amplifiers or receivers. Use any of the 70v/100v settings
for use with 70v/100v amplifiers. Due to the nature of 70v/100v technology,
better bass performance will typically result if the subwoofer is used at 8Ω,
however the AW10-LSUB-BR is designed for operation at 70v/100v.
9) Make your wiring connections using the included weatherproof wire nuts
and, when the entire system is ready, turn on your amplifier(s). See page 6-8
for information on wiring connections.
10) Lower the subwoofer into the hole. Russound recommends placing a 1-2"
layer of pea gravel or similar substrate at the bottom of the hole to ensure
proper drainage. When placed, the subwoofer and canopy should be level.
You can verify this with a bubble level.
11) Before covering the subwoofer and any wiring, verify the system operation
and that the proper volume levels are set. It is easy to adjust the subwoofer tap
setting before the subwoofer gets buried. Adjust the tap setting as necessary
for the desired sound level near the subwoofer.
12) When the entire system is verified and tap settings throughout have been
adjusted, replace the tap setting cover and hand tighten it until secure. You
can now bury the subwoofer and its wiring.
13) Make certain that the subwoofer does not rotate out of position while you
are filling the hole. Pack the dirt as you go for an even installation base.
14) When finished, the canopy bottom edge should be between 6" and 8"
above the ground level.
