Since your SpeakerCraft subwoofer is designed to be professionally installed into your wall, engineering services from your authorized SpeakerCraft dealer and/or outside acoustical resources should be considered to ensure optimum performance. -
Page 9: Center Location
Locating the subwoofers on the front wall, with one towards each corner will provide more flexibility in crossover points, without causing localization that can happen with subwoofers located on side and rear walls. SpeakerCraft pre-amplifiers 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, one for each amplifier. -
Page 10: Location
LOCATION Speaker Level connections The amplifier’s speaker level outputs can accept speaker wires with banana, dual- banana, bare wire, pins or spade terminals. If you have banana type connectors on your speaker wire, make sure that you tighten the binding posts before inserting. Make sure that the negative speaker wires never touch the positive wires as this will short out and possibly damage your amplifier. -

Page 12: Subwoofer Installation
SUBWOOFER INSTALLATION Read the details on page 8 to help determine the best position for your subwoofer in the room. The subwoofer can be wall mounted vertically, centered between vertical wall studs. This is the recommended (and easiest) orientation to install. Horizontal mounting into existing construction will most likely mean cutting a vertical stud. -
Page 13: Marking And Cutting The Opening
Marking and cutting the opening Choose the best location for your subwoofer, preferably centered between vertical wall studs. Use a stud finder to find where the studs are. Do not position the subwoofer closer than one inch from the cabinet sides to a stud. This allows for the clamps to swing out. -
Page 14: Wiring
Wiring The HRSIW8AMP has two binding posts for connection to the HRSIW8 subwoofer. Install the speaker wires following all local codes for low voltage electrical wiring installation. Use class 2 wiring, and 12 gauge is recommended, 16 gauge is the minimum. -
Page 15: Installing The Subwoofer
Secure the wiring to the loudspeaker’s spring-loaded binding posts, observing the correct polarity. Gently pull on them to make sure they are secure. It is a good idea to secure the wiring from vibration as much as possible. Do not have the weight of the cables hanging on the terminals. -
