100 IWSUB8™
Positioning the subwoofer in the room
Unlike an acoustic loudspeaker that needs to be far enough away from the walls and corners of the room, we
recommend positioning the subwoofer in a corner. The resonances of the room will be stimulated in a more
linear, predictable way. Not only will this optimise bass perception, but this layout will also make it possible to
increase the bass level by + 6 dB.
In general, make sure the subwoofer is positioned more towards the front of the room (fig. A and B). Since
the frequency bands are omnidirectional, in principal the bass should not be affected by an object or piece of
furniture placed between the subwoofer and the point of listening.
Using two subwoofers will provide more powerful playback and enable use in larger rooms (fig. C).
Pre-installation wiring
You can only install your subwoofer once you have wired it up. Make sure you leave enough cable length to
be able to connect your product with ease (approximately 1911/16" / 50cm). We recommend using a cable with
a marker to ensure the polarity of the speaker drivers is respected (+/-). Choose good quality cables with a
cross-section appropriate for their length: your dealer will be able to advise you.
Installation
1- Stick the foam strips onto the sides, the front panel and the back of the cabinet. (fig. E)
2- Decide where you want to position the product and attach the bottom brackets perfectly horizontally
onto the studs with 6 screws. (fig. E)
3- Position the cabinet on the brackets, slightly set-back from the studs by around 1/16" (1mm) and screw in
with 6 screws.
4- Fix the upper brackets onto the studs with 6 screws then secure the cabinet using another 6 screws. (fig.
E)
5- Connect the cables to the terminal and check the subwoofer is working. (fig. E)
6- Mark the position of the subwoofer’s front panel with respect to the floor and the wall, then position the
template in the equivalent position on the partition, then finally cut the partition carefully. (fig. F)
7- Position the partition and check it fits properly around the subwoofer's front panel before attaching it to
the studs. (fig. G)
8- Position the grille support frame and fix with 12 screws. (fig. H)
9- Finally, place the grille onto its frame. (fig. I)
Painting
If you wish, you can paint the grille of your 100 IWSUB8 so that it is coordinated with your environment. We
recommend that you firstly remove the grille and paint it using a paint gun. The paint used can be the same
type as the paint used on the walls .
Amplification
This subwoofer is designed for optimum use with the 100 IWSUB8 Amplifier. You can connect up to two
subwoofers in parallel to this amplifier.
