Installing the Subwoofer and Grille
Reach into the enclosure’s opening
and locate the two speaker leads.
Each lead is held in place by an elastic
band
(Figures 32 & 33)
to hold the
wires out of the way when mounting
the subwoofer. These elastic bands
should not be removed. Position the
woofer with the JL Audio logo upright
and connect each speaker lead to
its respective terminal.
(Figures 34)
The holes on the subwoofer’s frame
should line up with the holes in the
grille’s inner metal sleeve.
(Figure 35)
Using the eight screws supplied with
the subwoofer, mount the subwoofer
through the grille’s inner metal sleeve
and into the enclosure.
(Figure 36)
Once the system has been
calibrated (see below), the metal
mesh grille may be installed. Insert
the painted metal mesh grille into
the grille’s frame, making sure the
notches in the metal mesh line up
with the screws that hold the grille in
place.

Calibrating the Amplifier
To facilitate calibration of the
Fathom IWS amplifier with your
listening room, the Fathom IWS
enclosure includes front-mounted
speaker terminals (standard
banana jacks). These terminals
(Figure 39)
will allow the user to
temporarily connect the amplifier
to the enclosure for calibration,
even if the enclosure is permanently
installed in the wall cavity. Refer
to the Owner’s Manual included
with your amplifier for detailed
installation instructions and A.R.O.
calibration of your IWS system.
This completes the installation of the
Fathom IWS enclosure.
