3. Subwoofer Location
The subwoofer fires downward and is omnidirectional, its placement is less critical than full-range speak
-
ers. For the best results, place the subwoofer near a wall and near the full-range speakers if possible. It
is recommended that the subwoofer be within 10-15 feet of the full-range speakers. It can also be placed
under a deck or behind bushes if you prefer a stealthy install.
4. Subwoofer Installation
Once you have selected the location for your subwoofer, you are ready to start the install. Run 12-14 gauge
2-conductor outdoor-rated speaker wire from your amplifier to the location you have chosen for your sub
-
woofer. It will need to be buried or suspended so make sure you mark where it is in the ground for future
reference. Your subwoofer is designed to sit flat on all four of its legs. If mounting on a deck or patio it can
be fastened down by using the two key-hole slots in the bottom feet. To do this, simply measure the center
to center distance between the key-hole slots and install two mounting screws into the deck or patio, leaving
¼" of the screw exposed. Place the subwoofer feet on the screws and rotate clockwise until the subwoofer
is locked into the screw heads. For installation in a garden or flower bed, place the subwoofer on a flat level
surface. It is recommended to place the subwoofer on pavers to prevent debris, mulch and weeds from gath
-
ering under the subwoofer as foreign objects can cause poor performance and could damage the subwoofer.
Note:
For anti-theft security and permanent placement,
the IOSUB has a built-in eyebolt that enables you to
anchor it to its location.
