Installation Preparation
• Keep the original carton and packing materials for
future shipment or storage.
• Check for any visual signs of damage. If you
encounter any concealed damage, consult your
Earthquake Sound dealer before proceeding with unit
installation.
• Retain the sales receipt as it establishes the duration
fo the limited warranty and provides information for
insurance purposes.
There are several factors to consider before installing
Earthquake Sound’s THOR in-wall SUB-10.
• What are the intended listening zones?
• What system options and accessories might be
required for features such as local sources, etc.?
• From where in each zone will the listener prefer to
control the system? Where will the remote gains be
located? Where will the speakers be located?
• Where will the source equipment be located?
• Keep all power cords away from all signal cables to
prevent humming from induced noise.
• Choose reliable signal cable cords (Earthquake Sound
also specializes in high performance RCA cables and
patches).
• All speaker wires that are ran through the walls should
be twisted type to reduce potential hum noise pick-up.
• Label both ends of all wires with the corresponding
room location.
• It is best to use a grounded electrical outlet to power
the amplifier. Lack of input ground reference could be
unsafe. Consult with your electrical contractor about
proper grounding.
