Variable Tuning LFM Series 

Low Frequency Modules

Congratulations on the purchase of an Outlaw Audio Variable Tuning LFM (Low 
Frequency Module). You now own one of the finest subwoofers available. The 
Variable Tuning LFM series subwoofers provide deep, tight, bass extension that’s 
powerful enough to meet the most demanding requirements of any movie or 
musical source. The LFM series subwoofers blend effortlessly with both small 
satellite speakers and large tower speakers alike.  This seamless integration is 
made possible by a flexible crossover network that may also be disengaged for 
use with advanced bass-management systems.  
Among the Variable Tuning LFM’s many features are:

  A down firing design that virtually eliminates audible port noise

  A long throw 12" driver for deep bass extension

  A powerful 325 watt BASH¨ amplifier for precise driver control

  Signal Sense for automatic turn on/off

  180-degree phase control

  Line and speaker level inputs

  Variable Port Tuning

  Detachable power cord

Unpacking

The carton and packing materials used in shipping your new subwoofer were 
specially designed to cushion it from the shocks and vibrations of shipping. We 
strongly suggest that you save the carton and packing materials to use if you move, 
or if the unit ever needs to be shipped back to us for any reason.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it by carefully 
opening the top and bottom flaps and folding the carton. Packing materials that 
cannot be collapsed should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.

After unpacking your Variable Tuning LFM series subwoofer please confirm that 
the following accessories have been included.

  AC Power Cord

  4 Black (Metal) Carpet Spikes

  4 Black (Meta)l Dimpled Discs

  Port Plug (Installed In port on bottom of subwoofer)
