INSTALLATION

CABINET / BOX STYLE SUBWOOFERS

Cabinet / Box Style Subwoofers:

1. Place padding such as a soft blanket on the flooring to protect the finish of the

subwoofer.
2. Using a helper (if needed), carefully place the subwoofer cabinet on its side or top,

resting on the blanket. Take care to avoid damaging the amplifier. Important Notice: When

moving the subwoofer, do not allow the weight of the cabinet to place an excessive lateral

(sideways) load on the feet. This may damage the feet, the threaded insert or the cabinet.
3. Unthread and remove the subwoofer's original equipment (OE) feet.
4. Gather all of the 16 mm long machine screws from the Isolation System kit. There are

three (3) thread sizes provided – ¼-20, M6 and M8.
5. Compare the OE feet machine screws to the 16 mm long Isolation System machine

screws. Select the matching/correct thread size (SVS cabinet subwoofers utilize the ¼-20

thread size).
6. Once you have selected the correct thread size, install the Isolation feet by inserting

the 16 mm long machine screw through the bottom opening of the rubber foot, through the

opening in the steel outer shell, and

into the threaded insert of the

subwoofer cabinet.
7. Make sure the machine screw is

correctly aligned and does not

cross-thread.
8. Hand-tighten snugly. Avoid

over-tightening, which might damage

the threaded insert or the cabinet.
9. Using a helper (if needed) carefully

lift the subwoofer cabinet and place it

directly down onto the installed

Isolation feet. Take care to avoid

damaging the amplifier.

Important Notice: When placing the subwoofer back into position, do not allow the weight of the cabinet to place an

excessive lateral (sideways) load on the Isolation feet. This may damage the Isolation feet, the threaded insert or the

cabinet.

Important Notice: - Do not drag the subwoofer cabinet across the flooring with the Isolation feet installed. This may

damage the Isolation feet, the threaded insert or the cabinet. If you need to move the subwoofer, always lift (use a

helper if needed) the subwoofer and then place it into the new location.
