AMPLIFIER REQUIREMENTS & WIRING
The SW10WM is a passive (non-powered) subwoofer and must be used with a power amplifier. We
strongly recommend the Niles SWA-500 subwoofer amplifier. Use with any other amplifiers could
result in less than optimal performance.

The SW10WM has two 5-way binding posts that accept
all types of wire ends. Be sure to wire the subwoofer
“in-phase”—positive (red) terminal on the amplifier output
must be connected to the corresponding positive (red)
terminal on the subwoofer and likewise negative (black).
Most speaker wires have markings along one or both
conductors to help you make the correct connections.
Take care to wire the subwoofer correctly in-phase, before
floors/ceiling are sealed.
