Introduction The Vifa Premium Line Bookshelf Kit was designed to offer a very rich and warm sound with clear highs. It excels at producing jazz and classical music, but works well for any type of music where an “easygoing” presen- tation is desired.
Workspace Considerations As with doing any type of kit assembly, it is best to have a large, clean work area with adequate lighting. Taking a few minutes to establish a good work area will save time by eliminating lost parts and preventing assembly errors.

3. Install damping material The damping material included is intended to line the walls of the cabinet to reduce midrange reflections and help prevent standing waves. The included foam will need to be cut to size and then secured onto the walls of the cabinet.

4. Install drivers in baffle The drivers need to be secured to their baffles with the included #6 screws. For all driver installations, some form of gasketing material should be used between the driver frames and the baffles to prevent air leaks and vibra- tions.

5. Crossover Assembly Instructions For the system to perform properly, it is important that the crossover be assembled correctly. Incorrect assembly can cause damage to the speaker drivers or your amplifier, so please take time to work carefully and to check your work as you go.

Wire tie inductors in place for additional security Completed component installation with glue and wire ties Once all of the components have been secured and have their leads going through the board, we can flip it over and make the solder connections. On the inductors, make sure that the “silver” tinned section of the lead is what you are soldering to.

6. Test the system At this point, it is recommended that you take some time to test the speakers before final installation of the crossovers and baffles. You should already have the cabinet assembled and lined with foam, the drivers should be in the baffles, and the crossovers should be assembled.
8. Install the baffle Now we need to connect the output wires from the crossover to the terminals on the drivers and place the baffle into the cabinet. With the baffle leaning against the cabinet, make all driver connections, once again paying attention to the polarity of the connections.
Troubleshooting Problem: No output from woofer in individual speaker Cause: Bad connection or defective woofer Solution: Check connections from crossover board to woofer. If this is OK, check solder connections in the crossover, particularly on inductors. If this is OK, directly test woofer by hooking it up to stereo system at low volume setting.
