to be installed.
Remove Equipment Compartment Panel
Possible Electrical Shock Hazard
1. Turn off the main spa circuit breaker located in the
disconnect box or house panel.

Installing the Sub Woofer
Compartment
The installation of the sub woofer compartment consists of removing
the panel, removing the paper cover, exposing the plug, removing the
plug, and installing the sub woofer compartment.
1. If you have a spa with wood siding you may skip to Step 2. If
your spa has EnviroTectsiding you will need to remove the
white foam sheeting.
2. Using a locking utility knife set for a depth of about ½ inch,
cut a 13” X 18.5” rectangle as shown in the photo below.
Remove the paper and foam until you expose the sub woofer
plug. You may need to use a screwdriver or other tool to
remove the paper and foam.
13

Sonic Immersion System Dealer Installation Guide
The photograph above may not look
like your spa, refer to Table 3.
3. Once the plug is exposed, use a screwdriver to punch holes
in the foam large enough to insert your hands and pull the
plug out of the spa.
The plug may not come out in one
piece.
14

Sonic Immersion System Dealer Installation Guide
4. Use a medium size pair of needle nose pliers to remove the
large staples in the bottom rail where the plug was removed.
5. Remove all remnants of the plastic bag inside the
compartment where the plug was removed. This will expose
the electrical conduit.
The electrical conduit may not always
be in this location. It will vary from spa
to spa.
15

6. Using a non-ratcheting PVC pipe cutter, trim the electrical
conduit flush with the foam wall.
