Q™ 5000 10” 150W
Sub-Woofer may be installed in
a variety of ways with respect to
the rest of the home theater
equipment and structured wiring
system. It contains both line
level inputs (RCA connectors)
and speaker level inputs and
outputs (terminated with binding
posts).
(see
Figure 3
)
2.
Using the speaker level connection method, the output of the source material may be sent to the sub-
woofer first, and then its outputs may be used to drive the rest of the associated speakers. Using the
line level connection method, separate source outputs from a home theater receiver may be run to
the sub-woofer and associated speakers independently. The On-Q/Legrand HECC for instance has
separate outputs for a sub-woofer, from the rest of the speakers.
3.
Pre-wire cabling from the source location to the intended sub-woofer location can be RG6QS or high
quality speaker wire, depending upon which method (line-level vs. speaker-level) and which topology
(as discussed above) is selected.
4.
To cable from the source at a line level, pre-wire two RG6QS cables from the source location to the
intended sub-woofer location.
5.
To cable from the source at speaker level, pre-wire a pair of high quality speaker wires from the
source location to the intended sub-woofer location.
6. If a topology is desired where the source is cabled to the sub-woofer and then the sub-woofer feeds
the rest of the speakers, at pre-wire you will need to run two more high quality speaker wires from the
sub-woofer location to the location of the other speakers, or back to the speaker distribution point
(source). This will require four more binding post inserts at the sub-woofer location.
B. “Trim-out”
steps:
1. Terminate both ends of the RG6QS cables with appropriate ‘F”
connectors and use On-Q RCA to ‘F’ connector inserts,
(see
Figure 4
)
.
2. Strip off 3 inches or so of the speaker cable jacket to expose
the positive and negative insulated wires. Strip 3/8-1/2 inch of
insulation off of these conductors and connect to four On-Q
binding post inserts, two red and two black.
(see
Figure 5
)
The Sub-woofer inputs will then be connected to these inserts
with high quality speaker wire.
3. Remove the 4 feet from the supplied bag and screw them into the four bottom corners of the Sub-
Woofer.
