Preparation for Installation
1) Attach the supplied gasket to the subwoofer. See diagram below.
2) After deciding on the location of the Sub10F, use the supplied template to check for the fit of the sub-
woofer and location of the floor register. It is important to check both below the floor where the Sub10F
is to be mounted and in the room where the floor register is to be located.
3) Use drywall or deck screws (not supplied) for mounting the Sub10F. Do not use wood screws.
Installation
Be sure to mount the Sub10F rigidly to the floor joists, as its tremendous output could cause unwanted
vibration if the Sub10F is able to move.
Be sure the joists to which the Sub10F is mounted are securely braced against each other so that the
distance between them does not change and they are not able to move or shift.
1) Measure the floor register. Cut the hole in the floor for the floor register.
2) If any nails are protruding from the subfloor above, cut or hammer them out of the way.
Note: If there is not going to be ceiling installed in the room below, it is best to mount the Sub10F
after construction is complete. If the subwoofer must be installed while construction in the room above
is still in progress, cover the hole for the floor register so that construction debris or liquids cannot fall
onto the subwoofer.
3) With the hole for the floor register as a guide, hold the Sub10F in place and use the supplied brack-
ets to mark for screw holes.
4) Drill pilot holes in the Sub10F before attaching screws. The Sub10F's cabinet is made of MDF
(Medium Density Fiberboard), which can crack if pilot holes are not drilled.
5) The Sub10F's cabinet must be airtight. Seal any unused pilot holes with glue or caulk.
6) Attach the brackets to the subwoofer, and mount the brackets to the joists. Use wood shims, if need-
ed, to hold the Sub10F tight to the sub-floor above.
Important: The gaskets on the subwoofer must form a good seal with the sub-floor above.
