WARNING: Customer is responsible for the wiring materials to/from amplifier and
to/from other speakers/subwoofers as well as the selection of the installation area.
It is recommended that a professional be consulted when connecting speakers if
the installer does not have sufficient knowledge in working with electrical components.

In-ground Mounting/Burial
of IGS212 Subwoofer
When preparing an IGS212 subwoofer for burial, select an area that allows the depth
needed for the enclosure plus 6-inches to allow for a layer of crushed stone or gravel.
In most cases, the hole should be dug to a level of 18-24 inches. The lower edge of the
3 Output Vents (A) should be 2-3 inches (50-70mm) above ground level as illustrated
above. A layer of mulch or loose stone may be added up to the lower edge of the vents
as long as it allows water to flow through. Although the enclosure has channels for
draining water that may enter the enclosure through the vents, it is best to prevent
water from entering the enclosure in the first place. If the subwoofer is in a location
where water may flow around it during heavy rains, raise the subwoofer another
2-3 inches (50-75mm) above ground level. Place a layer of permeable landscape
fabric between the crushed drainage stone and the subwoofer.

In-ground Install Angles
of an IGS212 Subwoofer
The IGS212 subwoofer is designed with a slightly angled driver so that when the
enclosure is on a level plane (see Install 1 & 2), any moisture will be channeled away
from the woofer. DO NOT install the subwoofer at an angle as pictured in Install 3.
