Unpacking
The shipping container is designed to protect your subwoofer during
transit. Please unpack and check your subwoofer carefully, and
immediately report any damage to your dealer or to the company that
delivered the subwoofer to you. The packing materials are designed to be
reused—do not discard them. If you need to return the subwoofer to the
factory for repair, it must be shipped in the original packaging.
