1. Introduction
On-Q/Legrand offers an evōQ™ 5000 Home Theater 10" 150W
Sub-Woofer for those instances where extended base response
is required. This speaker, On-Q part number HT5104, (see
Figure 1), is optimized for central audio distribution (central
sound) and the home theater environment. It features a 10"
Poly woofer and is typically placed on the floor.

150W Sub-Woofer is not a moisture resistant speaker.
2. Description
The On-Q/Legrand evōQ™ 5000 Home Theater 10" 150W Sub-Woofer is a cube approximately 15" square. It is
made of black vinyl covered MDF, and is a sealed unit designed to be placed where base response is best,
supporting the non-directional nature of its base frequency output. It features connections for both line level
input and speaker level input and output, a volume control, a crossover adjustment (50-200Hz) and a phase
reversal switch. It also features a removable fabric grill cloth to enhance the sub-woofer's appearance when
installed. This is a powered sub-woofer, and as such needs to be placed within 6 feet of a 120VAC 60Hz
electrical outlet.
3. Installation
Installation of the On-Q evōQ™ 5000 Home Theater Sub-Woofer, is best accomplished at multiple times during
new construction, at "Rough-in" before the drywall is installed, and at "Trim-out" after the drywall is installed and
painted.
A. "Rough-in" steps:
NOTE: It is recommended that a minimum of 16 gauge, 2 conductor
stranded wire be used for applications from the amplifier speaker out
terminals or volume control speaker out connections to the sub-woofer
when speaker level connections are used. Different gauges can, and
should, be used based upon the distance of the intended run or quality of
installation (see Figure 2). Line level outputs from an amplifier to the sub-
woofer are discussed below.
NOTE: All On-Q/Legrand lyriQ™ Audio components accommodate wire
gauges from 18 to 14.
