DSUB6 INSTALLATION MANUAL
You will need a wire that has at least two conductors; one that can be
identified as the positive and the other as the negative. All two conductor
wires have some means of identifying which conductor is which, but at
times this identification may be subtle. It’s crucial that you keep track of
which wire you use for positive (+) and negative (-). Typically if the wires
are colored red and black, the red wire is used for positive and the black
wire is used for negative, but sometimes other colors or patterns are
used. You can choose whichever color of wire you want to be positive and
negative as long as you remain consistent throughout the install.
On both your amplifier and your speaker the connectors will be identi-
fied as red for positive and black for negative. It is very important to look
carefully at the speaker wires and be certain that the same wire that is
attached to the positive connector in the amplifier is attached to the pos-
itive connector in the speaker.

Installation
1) Wiring
Plan how you’ll route the wire to your desired speaker location.
Most likely the DSUB6 will be installed in a new home during con-
struction but you can install it into an existing home if you have
access to the space above the ceiling or below the floor. Be sure to
avoid all obstacles such as AC wiring, pipes, and ducts.
2) Installing the DSUB6
Hold the template to the joist that you plan on attaching the sub-
woofer enclosure to. Drill six holes through the marked locations
on the template using a 5/16” (8mm) drill bit. Face the enclosure’s
rubber damping pad towards the joist and secure it in place with
the supplied lag screws and washers. We recommend that one
person holds the subwoofer in place while another tightens the
screws to secure the DSUB6 to the joist.
