III. Installaon
Before installaon, please follow these guidelines:
1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instrucons before aempng to install this product.
2. For safety, disconnect the negave terminal from the baery prior to beginning the installaon.
3. Use the highest quality connectors for a reliable installaon and to minimize signal or power loss.
4. Use cauon before you drill or cut! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, brake or
hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle.
5. Never run speaker wires underneath your vehicle. Running speaker wires inside the vehicle pro
vides the best protecon from exhaust heat and environmental elements.
6. Avoid running wires over, near, or through sharp edged surfaces. Use rubber grommets to protect
any wires routed through metal.
7. When running the speaker cable from the amplier, avoid running it near sources of high current
(i.e. wiring harnesses, baery cables).
To achieve the best possible sound from this subwoofer enclosure, Dual recommends acquiring the services
of a professional car audio installaon center.
If you feel condent in your ability to install this product without the assistance of a professional, please read
this secon thoroughly. We have provided a number of placement
recommendaons and installaon ps to assist you. Keep in mind these are provided as a guideline and you
may nd that other placements specic to your vehicle may provide beer results.
• Make sure all moving parts and factory electrical wires are out of the way and will no interfere aer
installaon.
• Ensure the wire is of sucient length to avoid pulling or stretching. This is even more important if
the wires will be run under or through the factory interior.
• Use electrical tape and wire es to ensure all wires are properly secured.
• Avoid installing speakers or electronics where they can be subject to moisture.
• Ensure the speaker wires are connected using correct polarity. The posive polarity is marked by a
(+) sign. Incorrectly connected subwoofers will result in limited bass output.
• Speaker wire should be isolated from the vehicle’s electrical system to avoid noise being picked up
by the ampliers.
• We recommend using 14 gauge or larger sized speaker wire to ensure your subwoofer receives the
full power output of your amplier.

• Remember to listen responsibly and respect your ears. Being exposed to sounds over 125dB for
even short periods of me can create permanent hearing loss!
IV. Installaon - Enclosure Guidelines
To work properly, the walls of your enclosure must be free from exing during high sound pressure generated by your
subwoofer(s).
For best performance, always use MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) or Balc Birch Plywood to build your
enclosure. We highly recommend that your wood be at least 3/4” in thickness. The enclosure should be
sealed internally with silicon or glue and secured with screws every 4”.
Assemble the box before cung the subwoofer hole(s). If the box will be mounted in a vehicle, it should be
fastened securely using metal “L” shaped brackets.
To build an enclosure, calculaons will need to be made using the informaon found on the following pages.
Remember:
• Use 3/4” MDF or Balc Birch Plywood
• Use wood glue in joints
• Seal joints with silicon caulking
• Use screws every 2 to 4 inches
