Congratulaons and thank you for purchasing Triton mobile loudspeakers. With a focus on quality, innovaon, and value,
Triton loudspeakers feature a no-compromise design built for today’s music. Our focus is to provide you an accurate,
powerful listening experience by combining premium components into an elegant-but-accurate design that will deliver a
listening experience you would expect from a quality product.
To make sure your new loudspeakers perform their best, we strongly recommend you have your new Triton loudspeakers
professionally installed.

permanent hearing loss.
Triton SQ Series Subwoofers Features:
• Glossy Black IMPP Cone with Symmetrical Geometric Cone Design – increases the sness of the cone for
less harmonic distoron as well as high strength, durability, and stability during high power operaon at
extreme temperatures
• Butyl Rubber Surround – has superior damping characteriscs and will last longer than foam surrounds
• Double Stacked Magnet Assembly – combined with a long wiring width of voice coil allows for long
excursions with reduced distoron
• Kapton® Voice Coil Former – oers higher power handling than aluminum voice coil formers and extremely
ecient cooling properes.
• 4 Layer Voice Coil – keeps more wire in the magnec gap for more output.
• Vented, Extended Pole Piece – keeps the voice coil cool during long excursions at high power.

III. Installaon - Sealed Enclosures
Sealed enclosures provide excellent performance with SQ Series Subwoofers. They are the simplest enclosures to design
and build, and provide the most control over the subwoofer’s performance. This type of box is usually associated
with smooth, tight clean bass. Remember to glue and screw all joints, using enough glue to make sure all joints are
airtight. Loosely fill the enclosure with fiberglass, poly-fill, or cotton damping material.

IV. Installaon - Ported Enclosures
Ported enclosures use a tuned vent to get addional output at the tuning frequency that is usually good for an addional
3dB of bass if built properly. Using a smaller port than recommended may cause noise from air turbulence whereas
too large of a port will not offer enough control over the woofer and can cause premature failure. If you do build a
ported box, Quinn recommends using flared ports as they produce less turbulence and noise. Remember to glue and
screw all joints, using enough glue to make sure all joints are airtight.
Note: Make sure there is at least 2” between the end of the port and the adjacent wall of the enclosure.

V. Wiring Opons
There are many ways to wire mulple subwoofers together in order to maximize an amplier’s output. Please check your
amplier manufacturer’s specicaons to verify your amplier’s capability before aempng these conguraons. Using a
lower-than-recommended impedance on your amplier can damage the amplier and subwoofer.
