Mounting 

Mounting 

 

  

Generally:  
The placement of the subwoofer in the room affects 
the  overall  frequency  response  and  sound  level  of 
the  system  dramatically,  as  at  low  frequencies  the 
influence of the room is strong.  
 
Even  a  slight  change  in  the  subwoofer's  location 
can  make  a  significant  difference  in  the  frequency 
balance,  and  often  patience  and  methodical 
experimentation  is  needed  to  find  the  optimum 
placement.  
 
This  subwoofer  is  intended  for  XTZ  products,  but 
can of course be used with other speakers. 
 
 

   

 

 

Spikes 

 

  

99  W12.18  ICE  have  feet  of  rubber  to  absorb 
vibrations. But it’s possible to change this to spikes. 
 
The  Rubber  foot  are  adjustable  to  get  the 
subwoofer  in  level  with  the  floor.  The  foot  are 
removable for those who want to mount spikes. 
(M6 screw) 

     

 

Connect with the 
correct phase 

 

  

Always  connect  using  the  correct  phase,  from  the 
+-pole  on  the  amplifier  to  the  +-pole  on  the 
loudspeaker and respectively for the minus (-) pole 

   

If  you  by  accident  connect  the  other  way, 
there  is  no  risk  of  damage.  However,  the 
phase  of  the  signal  will  be  not  correct, 
resulting in improper sound. 

 

Overload 

 

  

With high power load under long time there is risk 
of overloading the driver and/or the amplifier. 
  

WARNING! 

 

   

All  products,  amplifiers,  speakers,  cross-
overs  can  be  damaged  if  playing  loud 
music for a long time 
 
 

 

The initial playing 
time 

 

  

It takes about 50 to 100 hour of initial playing time, 
for the driver to sound optimally. During this time, 
the speaker may be used normally. 

     

 

Amplifiers with low 
level output to XTZ 
99W12.18 ICE Line In

 

 

  

Connect  either  a  stereo  or  mono  RCA  lead  to  your 
output  device  (surround  decoder,  TV,  stereo 
receiver,  etc)  depending  on  whether  a  stereo  or 
mono output is provided. 
  
If  stereo,  connect  both  RCA  plugs  into  the 
subwoofer's  RCA  jacks.  If  mono,  connect  the  RCA 
plug into either of the input jacks. Then connect the 
power cord to your power outlet.
