CSUB10N & CSUB10NCE INSTALLATION MANUAL

Enclosure Installation

1) Installing the Wire

Strip ¼ to ½ inches (6 to 12 

mm) of the insulation off both 

ends of the wire. To avoid stray 

strands, twist them at the end.

Connect the wire to the am-

plifier, but don’t plug in the 

amplifier AC just yet. Route the 

wire through the walls to the 

subwoofer location.

You will need a wire that has at least two conductors; one that can be 

identified as the positive and the other as the negative. All two conductor 

wires have some means of identifying which conductor is which, but at 

times this identification may be subtle. It’s crucial that you keep track of 

which wire you use for positive (+) and negative (-). Typically if the wires 

are colored red and black or copper and silver, but sometimes other col-

ors or patterns are used. You can choose whichever color of wire you want 

to be positive and negative as long as you remain consistent throughout 

the install.
