Dear Valued Customer,                           

Welcome  to  the  eclectic  world  of  Earthquake  High 

Fidelity  sound  systems;    you  are  about  to  experience  the 
Kompressor subwoofer. This system is designed to dramatically 
enhance your enjoyment of music and films at home, by adding 
power and  impact  to  low frequency sound effects.  

Earthquake Sound Corporation  is located in the heart 

of the Silicon Valley.  It  specializes in manufacturing high end 
Home and Car audio products ranging from the  smallest driver  
to the loudest subwoofer system. In its dedication to excellence, 
Earthquake has maintained  extensive programs in research and 
development  to  provide  you  with  the  highest  quality  audio 
products. 

This owners manual is designed to better acquaint you 

with  the  Kompressor  subwoofer  system,    and  to  guide  you 
through  the  phases  of  system  design  and  application.  It  is 
imperative  that  you  read  this  manual  in  its  entirety. 
EARTHQUAKE technicians and   staff are looking forward to 
answer  any  questions  you  might  have,  please  call  (1-800-576-
7944).

CAUTION:  the  Kompressor  subwoofer  system  is    capable  of 
generating  high  sound  pressure  levels.  You  should  exercise 
caution  when  operating  this  subwoofer  system.  Long  term 
exposures to high levels of sound pressure will cause permanent 
damage to your hearing.   Sound pressure levels exceeding 85dB 
can be dangerous with constant exposure. Set your audio system 
to  a  comfortable  loudness  level.  The  Kompressor  subwoofer 
system is designed to generate high levels of low frequencies (110 
dB  to  128  dB  at  15  Hz  to  20  Hz)  and  this  will  transmit  a 
tremendous  amount  of  vibration  into  walls,  shelves  and  the 
structure; thus causing sheet rock flexing, glass and other objects 
to  fall  off    shelves.  Earthquake  Sound  Corporation  does  not 
assume liability  for damages resulting from the direct use of the 
Kompressor , and urges users to play the Kompressor in moderate 
levels.
