RCC640 PRE-CONSTRUCTION SUBWOOFER [RCC640-PC] 

 

The RCC640-PC was designed be installed into a 2 x 4 stud wall with a minimum of 16” on center 

spacing before the drywall is applied to the stud wall.  The subwoofer is not impacted by cabinet 

orientation and can be used either vertically or horizontally.  The classical rule for subwoofer 

placement is that the subwoofer should be placed near the same wall the front channels are 

located, at one-third of the total distance of the wall.  When using multiple subwoofers, consult with 

your dealer or custom installer for best placement options.
