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.

your spa has EnviroTectsiding you will need to remove the
white foam sheeting, Figure 4.
Figure 4. Removing EnviroTectSheeting
2. Using a locking utility knife set for a depth of about ½ inch,
cut a 13” X 18.5” (33 cm X 47 cm) rectangle as shown in
Figure 5. 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.
