Framing

Vertical mounting

Due to residential construction meth-

ods, vertical mounting of the cabinet is

recommended. The subwoofer cabinet

will fit between 2 x 4 inch studs on 16

inch centers.

Horizontal mounting is also possible,

but needs additional framing steps. See

page 10 for horizontal mounting details.

Notes:

Use the illustrations as a guide,

but follow all local building codes

regarding the actual framing meth-

ods.

The insulation stuffed inside the

cabinet is required for proper oper-

ation. Do not remove the insulation

during the cabinet installation.

1. It is recommended that you add a

horizontal brace below the cabinet

to raise it above the height of the

finished floor and baseboard mold-

ing. This will prevent accidental nail

punctures in the cabinet.

2. Add a horizontal brace above the

subwoofer cabinet, leaving enough

room to make your speaker wire

connections to the push-terminals.

. Add further horizontal braces at

either side of the cabinet, but

make sure that they are at different

heights to randomize wall reso-

nances.

4. Attach self-adhesive foam strips to

the cabinet wherever there will be

contact with the studs or sheetrock.

Use longer strips for the sides, and

shorter strips for the front face and

the shorter side resting against the

lower horizontal brace.
