6. Tuning Your Subwoofer
Once you have finished installing your subwoofer you are ready to fine tune the sub for the desired
sound. This subwoofer is designed to be powered with a low frequency subwoofer amplifier. It can also
be powered by any amplifier that has a powered subwoofer output and is stable to 4 ohms.
Getting your subwoofer to blend into the rest of your system is as simple as playing familiar music and
adjusting the frequency and volume knobs on your subwoofer amplifier until it sounds the way you like. In
most cases, the recommended crossover frequency for a subwoofer is between 80-120Hz. Increase the
volume until you hear the subwoofer blend with the main speakers.
7. Caring For Your Subwoofer
Outdoor speakers and subwoofers are designed to withstand outdoor environments, including incidental
exposure to water. They are not designed to be washed using a pressure washer or hose nozzle. If debris
accumulates on the housing of the speaker, use a damp sponge or cloth to remove it.
