INTRODUCTION 

 

CONGRATULATIONS! You have just made perhaps the most exciting and dramatic addition that 
you  could  possibly  make  to  your  audio  system.  The  new  dimension  of  deep,  powerful  bass 
provided by your M&K Sound powered subwoofer will positively thrill and excite you.   
 
We encourage you to read this owner’s manual, as there is a great deal of information provided 
here  to  help  you  get  the  best  possible  performance  from  your  new  subwoofer.  This  manual  will 
give you basic set-up instructions and a system overview followed by more detailed information.  
 
If  you  still  have  questions  about  your  subwoofer  or  your  system  installation  after  you  have  read 
this manual, please contact your M&K Sound dealer.  
 
 
 

 
3.   VOLTAGE INPUT & POWER CORD

 

 

 
M&K Sound X Series subwoofers employ an auto detecting universal power supply to handle 
input voltage from 100-230VAC 50/60 Hz.  
Europe, UK, Asia: 230VAC/50 Hz. 
USA, Canada: 115VAC/60Hz.  
Japan: 100V/60Hz 
 
If you have questions about this, contact your M&K Sound dealer.  

 
 
DETACHABLE POWER CORD 

Your new subwoofer is provided with a detachable power cord.  
ALWAYS attach the cord to the subwoofer first, BEFORE plugging it into the AC wall socket.
