Prolonged exposure to sound pressure levelsin excessof100dB can cause permanenthearing loss.Thishigh-performance
speakercan exceed thislevel.Please exercise restraintin its operation in orderto preserve yourability to enjoy itsfidelity.
When installing a subwooferin yourvehicle,itis extremely importantto secure the enclosure firmly. We recommend
bolting the enclosure through the metal of the floorpan or the frame of the vehicle with large diameter washers
for reinforcement.If an enclosure is not firmly attached,it can become a projectile in a collision.This is particularly
importantin a hatchback,station wagon,sports utility vehicle,orvan.
