Congratulation on your choice of the SUB-80X self powered subwoofer system, 
one of Earthquake's newest designs in bass reproduction units. 

With an  integral high-power amplifier - 150 Watts, the SUB-80X subwoofer 
combines tight bass extension with high output levels. Acoustically, it is designed 
to match typical satellite speaker systems to enhance the over all sound quality 
and performance of your system.

Dear Valued Customer,

A) LINE IN RCA - Input jacks, accept up to 1.4 volts of audio input signal (mono 
and stereo).

B) LIN OUT RCA - High pass filtered RCA output jacks with left and right line 
output signals. The line out RCA's are not functional when the line in signal 
(going into the subwoofer) is derived from a sub-filtered output of an external 
processor.

C) XOVER FILTER - The 12dB/Octave variable crossover filter is designed to 
control the subwoofer cut off frequency (range from: 40Hz to 130Hz).

D) VOLUME CONTROL - Manual adjustment of the sound level of the 
subwoofer. Always start at MIN position and slowly increase the volume to reach 
the desired subwoofer level.

E) PHASE SHIFT - 0 to 180 degrees subwoofer phase shift switch.

F) POWER SWITCH - For operating the amplifier automatic or manual power on. 
In automatic mode, the SUB-80X will turn OFF in 15 minutes if no audio signal is 
detected.

G), H) POWER INPUT - The SUB-80X operates in 115V and 230V environments. 
A sliding switch located near the power plug allows for both operations.

I) HIGH LEVEL OUTPUT - High pass filtered output terminals designed to power 
up stereo satellite speakers.

J) HIGH LEVEL INPUT - Clamp style input terminal, accepts high level audio 
input from the main or front system speakers (up to 10 volts).
