Page 7: Installation Instructions
Installation Instructions Step #1 Install the Mounting Brackets Attach the mounting brackets to the bottom of the powered subwoofer using the machine screws from your mounting hardware. Step #2 Mount the Powered Subwoofer Make sure the mounting location allows adequate space for the amplifier to dissipate heat. - Page 8 Finally, plug your radio’s low-level RCA outputs (dedicated subwoofer output) into the RCA inputs (5) on the SUB8100. For radios that do not have a dedicated subwoofer output, follow the instructions on the next page to connect directly to the SUB8100’s high-level inputs.
