3. Dig a hole sufficient to bury the
speaker to the correct depth (noted
above) and to also accommodate 4-6” of
gravel or crushed rock under the
subwoofer housing.
4. For 70V (or 100V) applications, select
the appropriate tap wires from the chart
below and connect them to the input
wire from the amplifier.

Subscape Speaker Installation
• It is recommended to add a 4” to 6“ layer of crushed rock or gravel
underneath the subwoofer. This will help protect the speaker from the
ground water and minimize frost heaving.
• For 8 Ohm operation, it is recommended to use a PhaseTech P350
subwoofer amplifier.
• All Subscape subwoofers should be mounted such that the bottom
edge of the vent tube cover is 3” to 5” above the final landscaping.
• Be sure to completely wire your system and fully test it before
back-filling the subwoofer hole.
2. Install the cap by threading it onto the
end of the port tube clockwise.
1. Remove speaker from the box.
8. Trim unused wires on the subwoofer
and wrap the loose ends with
electrician’s tape or a suitable alternative
to protect the bare wires from corroding.
7. Fully wire the rest of your system and
test to make sure the system is
performing correctly.
9. Back fill the subwoofer hole.

5. If daisy-chaining, be sure to also
connect the wires going to the next
speaker in the chain. Be sure to follow
standard protocol for polarity and make
sure the subwoofer is wired with the
same polarity as the Periscape units.
6. For 8 Ohm operation, locate the red,
gray and green, white wire pairs and cut
off the heat shrink cap on each pair.
Using the supplied silicone wire nuts,
connect the positive lead from the
amplifier to the red wire and connect the
negative lead from the amplifier to the
white wire. The gray and green wires are
not used in 8 ohm operation.
