Install the Subwoofer
Placement of the 3000 In-Wall Subwoofer can affect performance. If possible, it is recommended to aim for corner placement on the same wall as the front speakers, or anywhere along
the front stage in between or outside the main speakers.
The 3000 In-wall subwoofer is designed to fit between standard 16” on-center stud spacing. Be sure to
check for stud placement or other obstructions when choosing where to place the subwoofer.
Use the supplied Subwoofer Cutout Template as a guide for subwoofer placement, and follow the included
instructions for preparing the wall for installation.
In most installations the 6 Dog Leg Mounting screws
can be used to lock the subwoofer to the wall. Each
of the 6 screw locations should be tightened to
engage out and lock the dog screws.
High torque drills should be set to a low or medium
clutch setting so not to over drive the screws.
In some instances, the subwoofer will be too close to a stud to
engage the dog screws.
In this case, the subwoofer front baffle has 8 screw holes to
affix the front baffle frame of the subwoofer to the stud
directly (hardware not included).
You can now insert the
subwoofer into the
cutout.
Be sure to pay attention
to the speaker wire
position when installing
the subwoofer to avoid
pinching or cutting the
speaker wire.
If the speaker wire is coming from above,
align the subwoofer so the terminals are at
the top of the cabinet. If the speaker wire
is coming from below, flip the subwoofer
so the terminals are at the bottom.
The subwoofer is designed to work with
terminals at the top or bottom, the top
woofer will show the SVS logo in the
correct position. Be sure to pay attention
to the polarity of the Banana plugs and the
subwoofer binding posts.
While balancing the subwoofer with one
hand, insert the banana plugs into the
subwoofer binding posts with the other
hand.
The In-wall rated speaker wire for the subwoofer should be accessed through the subwoofer cutout from
either above or below. Strip the jacket from the speaker wire ends to reveal the bare speaker wire.
Pay close attention to the polarity and color of the speaker wire and terminals. The red terminal is positive
(+). The black terminal is negative (-). Unscrew the gold terminal
from the banana plug and insert the exposed bare speaker wire
into the bottom of terminal body. Then, fold the bare copper
speaker wires over the inner teeth of the terminal body.
Reassemble the gold banana plug to the terminal body and give
the speaker wire a good pull to ensure it does not come loose.
Repeat for the other speaker wire.
