DSUB6 INSTALLATION MANUAL
Planning
IMPORTANT
The DSUB6 is designed to be flexible, capable of working with dif-
ferent amplifier configurations and port options. Before installing
the DSUB6, you will want to know the answer to two questions:
1. Will you be driving it with a 2-channel amplifier or a designat-
ed subwoofer amplifier? The 2-channel option works fine but
the separate subwoofer amplifier will allow you to adjust the
subwoofer output to achieve the sub-to-satellite balance you
want regardless of subwoofer location or number of satellite
speakers used. If you opt for the separate subwoofer amplifier,
you will need to run three paired speaker wires to the speaker
location.
Location
Find a location for the subwoofer. Positioning it near the satellite
speakers is visually and sonically advantageous; being close to
walls, especially corners, is very helpful when maximum loudness
is important. Start with where you want the port opening to be.
Then determine where the enclosure needs to be placed to allow
the port tube to easily reach the desired port opening location.
For the subwoofer to fit, the joists need to be at least 14” apart.

2. We offer two port options so that the grilles will match any
Director speaker you choose. You will want to know at this
point if this subwoofer will be used with the Director D38
mini-speakers or with some other Director speaker since the
ports are of different lengths and diameters.
