Caring For Your Subwoofer

IMPORTANT:

 Save Your Boxes! If you can do so, save the carton, 

packing pieces and plastic bags that came with your subwoofer. 
They will be useful in case you move or have to ship your subwoofer 
for any reason. In any case, save all packing materials until you are  
certain that the system has suffered no damage in shipment. If you find 
such damage, either visible or internal, contact your dealer immediately 
for the proper return procedure.
