Since your SubRosa subwoofer is de- signed to be professionally installed into your wall, engineering services from your Authorized Sunfire Dealer and/or outside acoustical resources should be consid- ered to ensure optimum performance. The SubRosa amplifier’s Auto EQ...
Sunfire preamplifiers and receivers feature multiple subwoofer outputs for these applications. If your preamplifier has a single sub/LFE output, use a Y cable to split it into two outputs.
Framing Vertical mounting Due to residential construction meth- ods, vertical mounting of the cabinet is recommended. The subwoofer cabinet will fit between 2 x 4 inch studs on 16 inch centers. Horizontal mounting is also possible, but needs additional framing steps. See page 10 for horizontal mounting details.
Cabinet Installation With the help of an assistant to lift the cabinet, check the fit of the cabinet into the framing. Use wood shims if there is any gap between the cabinet sides and the vertical studs. If it makes it easier, you can con- nect the wiring to the cabinet before you secure it in place.
Wiring Install the speaker wires following all local codes for electrical wiring installation. Use class 2 wiring, and 12 gauge is recommended, 16 gauge is the minimum. Follow common low voltage practices like avoiding high voltage electrical wiring, or crossing them perpendicularly.
Final Rough-in Make sure the debris shield is fitted into the cabinet opening using the plastic push rivets supplied. This will prevent dust and sheetrock debris from entering the cabinet. Debris shield User's Manual...

Sheetrock installation Apply glue to the framing surround- ing the cabinet. Also apply glue to the front surface of the cabinet, wherever it will be in contact with the sheetrock. Fit the sheetrock in place with sheetrock screws spaced 4 inches apart.
Horizontal mounting In this position, the subwoofer's longest side is horizontal. This may be required for some installations, although it requires more framing work. The procedure for mounting is basically the same as the vertical mounting. The cabinet should be mounted off the floor as shown, to prevent nails from puncturing the cabinet during baseboard installation.

With the help of an assistant to lift the cabinet, check the fit into the framing, and use shims if required. Wiring the subwoofer is the same as described previously, except that there is not much room to make the connections to the binding posts.
Woofer baffle installation With the cabinet installed, and all the sheetrock, finishing and decorating done, the woofer baffle can be installed. The woofer baffle assembly consists of the following components already installed: • The baffle, upon which all the com- ponents are assembled •...

Baffle installation procedure Remove the debris shield from the front of the in-wall cabinet. You can do this by cutting the cardboard with a sharp knife and pulling out the cardboard pieces and the plas- tic rivets holding it in place. Do not cut the two wires inside the cabinet, and do not remove any sound- proofing material.
Grille installation With the woofer baffle installed, and the subwoofer tested, the grille can now be installed. The grille assembly consists of the fol- lowing components: • The grille frame. This screws to the woofer baffle and holds the grille in place.
