Prepare the acoustic enclosure for installation by laying it on a flat surface and fitting the four
mounting wings to the acoustic enclosure using the twelve M5 x 12mm pozidriv countersunk screws supplied.
These screws must be fitted very tightly as they are not accessible once the subwoofer is installed within the
wall. The acoustic enclosure and mounting wings are supplied with foam damping strips applied. It is
important for that these strips are left in place.

Fit the installation shield to the front of the acoustic enclosure and the lower mounting wings using
the six M5 x 35mm socket-cap screws supplied. The installation shield features a recess to accommodate the
subwoofer drive-unit, and its fixing holes are positioned asymmetrically to ensure correct orientation.

Important! The installation shield is essential as it performs up to three important functions:
•
It protects the drive-unit against accidental damage and prevents the ingress of dust, paint and other
debris.
•
It acts as a brace and a template to ensure the electronics module can be successfully fitted later on. It
does this by holding the lower mounting wings in the correct position for the fixing holes to align while
ensuring the correct portion of the subwoofer is left exposed in order for the electronics module to be
fitted.
•
If the grille is to be fitted to the subwoofer, the installation shield acts as a template for the subsequent
fitment of the grille frame onto which the grille is mounted. If plasterboard (sheetrock) is fitted so it abuts
to the installation shield, it ensures that the grille frame can be successfully fitted to the subwoofer once
the installation shield is removed.
