Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Director Subwoofer 6. At Origin Acoustics, we take pride in providing you with a high quality product. All of Origin Acoustics’ speakers are designed to have excellent sound quality, longevity, and a simple installation process.
Planning: Amplifier Wiring Will you be driving it with a 2-channel amplifier or a designated subwoofer am- plifier? The 2-channel option works fine but the separate subwoofer amplifier will allow you to adjust the subwoofer output to achieve the sub-to-satellite balance you want regardless of subwoofer location or number of satellite speakers used.
colors or patterns are used. You can choose whichever color of wire you want to be positive and negative as long as you remain consistent throughout the install. On both your amplifier and your speaker the connectors will be identified as red for positive and black for negative.
2. Installation before Drywall Use the 8 supplied screws to attach the port tube to the enclosure. Test the wired DSUB to see that it’s working properly. If you are using 2 channels of input, make sure to test both. The Mini Port Bracket will serve as your new construction bracket.

6. Wiring: Separate Subwoofer Amplifier Use the supplied terminal jumper to connect two of the DSUB input terminals, then connect the positive Subwoofer wire from the subwoofer amplifier to Amplifier the positive input terminal and the negative wire the remaining input terminal.
8. Painting the Grille In some situations the speakers may look better if the color matched the walls, ceiling, or trim in the room. This can be accomplished by painting the grille. The grille must be painted with spray paint, and most hardware stores will mix a can of paint to match whatever color you need.
Troubleshooting If possible, it’s often good to try to isolate the problem first. For example, if you’re playing a DVD on a television and there’s no sound, try connecting an MP3 player to the system to see if that works. If it does work, then the problem is with the tele- vision, DVD player, or the cables connecting them.
