SUBWOOFER INSTALLATION
Read the details on page 8 to help determine the best position for your subwoofer in
the room.
The subwoofer can be wall mounted vertically, centered between vertical wall studs.
This is the recommended (and easiest) orientation to install.
Horizontal mounting into existing construction will most likely mean cutting a vertical
stud. This installation should be done by an experienced and qualified carpenter, to
prevent weakening the wall structure. When the extra framing is done, the installation
and wiring is the same as described below.
Tools required
•
Phillips screwdriver
•
Pencil or other suitable wall marker
•
Sheetrock hand saw
•
Safety glasses
•
Level
•
Masking tape
•
Flashlight
•
Small mirror

Preliminary Steps
•
If the TV display is in place nearby, it should be removed from the wall, or at least
turned off and covered.
•
Clear the area where you are going to work, so it will be safe. Remove any fragile
objects, small children or pets, and cover anything that might be affected by dust
from cutting sheetrock.
•
Put on your safety glasses.
