Wire

to
a
location
where
it
can
connect
to
the
Remote

Output
from
the
source
unit.
If
using
the
latest
Wet

Stealth
Sound
Bar,
this
will
be
a
blue
wire.
On
a
traditional
head
unit,
this
wire
is
often
labeled
"power
antenna
remote".
It
should
be
a
wire
that
supplies+
12V
when
the
source
unit
is
powered
on
and
returns
to
OV
when
the
source
unit
is
powered
off.
If
using
this
turn

method,
be
sure
that
the
AUTO
TURN

on
amplifier
built
in
to
the
ST

subwoofer
is
in
the
"REM"
position.
If
the
source
unit
does
NOT
have
a
Remote
Turn

Output
(like
earlier
model

make
sure
the
AUTO

on
the
amplifier
built
in
to
the
ST

subwoofer
is
set
in
the
"AUDIO"
position.
See
further
instructions
below
for
more
information
on
the
AUTO
TURN
ON
switch.
Apply
tape
to
insulate
the
end
of
this
wire
if
not
being
used.
Route
the
3.5mm
plug
labeled
"Signal
Input"
(3)
to
a
location
where
it
can
connect
to
an
audio
output
from
the
source
unit.
On
Wet
Sounds
Sound
Bars
this
is
a
3.5mm
jack
labeled
"AUX
OUT".
If
using
a
traditional
head
unit
with
RCA
style
preamp
output,
a
3.5mm-RCA
adapter
will
likely
be
needed.
Route
the
3.5mm
jack
labeled
"Remote
Level
Control"
(5)
to
a
location
where
it
can
connect
to
the
supplied
Remote
Level
Control.
This
control
is
intended
to
allow
easy
adjustment
of
the
overall
output
of
the
ST
series
subwoofer,
so
mount
the
control
in
a
location
that
is
accessible.
MIN

CONTROL
Before
connecting
the
remote

control,
find
a
location
that

The

will
need
to
be
run
to
the
3.5mm

To
avoid
the
possibility
of

keep
the

away
from
the

electrical
wiring.

TURN
ON
SWITCH
The
"REM"
setting
is
the
most
reliable
way
to
turn
the
ST
series
subwoofer
on
and
off,
but
if
the
source
unit
does
not
have
a
Remote
Output
wire
then
either
the
"AUDIO"
or
"DC
OFFSET"
setting
can
be
used.
Not
all
source
units
are
the
same,
so
three
different
turn
on
options
are
provided.
Select
the
setting
that
works
best
with
the
source
unit
in
the
system:
"REM"
Setting
is
used
when
the
source
unit
has
an
output
that
supplies
+
12V
when
powered
ON
and
returns
to
OV
when
powered
OFF.
Newer
model
Wet
Sounds
Stealth
Sound
Bars
have
this
feature
and
should
be
used
in
this
way.
"DC
OFFSET"
Setting
senses
voltage
change
when
the
source
unit
is
powered
on
and
off.
This
setting
does
not
depend
on
music.
This
setting
should
be
used
if
the
"AUDIO"
setting
does
not
properly
turn
on
the
ST
series
Subwoofer.

"AUDIO"
Setting
senses
a
music
signal
to
turn
on
the
amplifier
built
in
to
the
ST
series
subwoofer.
This
setting
is
recommended
for
earlier
model
Wet
Sounds
Stealth
Sound
Bars.
Please
note- if
the
source
unit
is
powered
ON,
but
at
"0"
volume,
the
ST
series
subwoofer
will
likely
not
turn
on
until
the
volume
is
increased.

-The
Gain
adjustment
controls
the
sensitivity
of
the
amplifier
built
in
to
the
ST
series
subwoofer.
It
has
been
included
to
allow
adjustment
to
match
the
output
of
any
source
unit
to
the
input
of
the
amplifier.
Gain
controls
are
one
of
the
most
misunderstood
adjustments.
By
rotating
the
control
in
the
clockwise
direction,
the
amplifier's
input
will
become
more
sensitive
and
the
subwoofer
output
will
increase.
To
determine
if
the
amplifier's
gain
control
is
set
properly,
turn
the
system
on
and
slowly
increase
the
volume
control
on
the
source
unit.
Usually
about%
volume
can
be
reached
before
the
system
gets
loud
without
distortion.
It
is
very
important
to
not
overdrive
the
subwoofer
to
the
point
of
distortion,
which
will
cause
permanent
damage
to
the
subwoofer.
If%
volume
without
distortion
is
not
possible,
the
gain
should
be
reduced
(by
decreasing
the
gain
adjustment).
Gain
adjustments
should
be
done
very
slowly
and
carefully.
The
Remote
Level
Control
should
be
unplugged
while
the
gain
is
adjusted,
then
plugged
in
after
final
adjustments
are
made.
The
Remote
Level
Control
will
only
decrease
the
output
of
the
amplifier
and
will
not
affect
the
gain
control
setting.

-The
Variable
Crossover
Network
allows
adjustment
of
the
frequency
range
that
the
amplifier
sends
to
the
subwoofer.
This
should
be
adjusted
to
fall
slightly
above
the
lowest
frequency
that
the
full
range
speaker/s
in
the
system
can
reproduce.

allows
the
selection
of
the
amount

centered
at
45Hz-
that
is
desired
in
the

There
is
no

for
this.
It
is
suggested
to
be
set
by
the
listener's
preference.
