SETTING UP THE
SUBWOOFER
11
Installing the subwoofer
The subwoofer can be mounted using one of four different methods: foot
mouldings alone, foot mouldings and spikes, spikes alone, and castors. The
mountings are designed to give the subwoofer a stable base on a wide
range of surfaces.
To fi t the castors

Castors are useful if the unit needs to be installed in a cabinet or other
enclosed space and rolled in after connections have been made. However,
you may alternatively fi nd that the feet allow suffi cient manoeuvrability to
do this: the unit will be less likely to move around if the feet are used.
Begin by placing the washer provided on the threaded shaft of the castor.
It is important to use the washer as it spreads the off-centre load presented
by the castor assembly. Begin to screw the shaft into the threaded insert
on the underside of the loudspeaker cabinet until it is engaged a few turns.
Once you have started the thread by hand, you will fi nd you can pull the
black castor wheel assembly off the shaft (it is a spring fi t) to give easy
access to the nut with the nut spanner provided. Screw the shaft fi rmly into
the base and then reattach the castor assembly by pushing it fi rmly onto
the shaft. Repeat for the three other castors.
When rolling the subwoofer into position we recommend that you lift the
unit over obstacles, such as carpet edges or door thresholds. Rolling the
subwoofer over obstacles may exert excessive sideways force on the castors,
causing the threaded inserts to be ripped out and damaging the cabinet.
To fi t the spikes alone

The spikes are designed for use on carpeted fl oors, where they penetrate
the pile without damaging or fl attening the carpet. You can use them on
their own, or with the plastic foot mouldings provided.
