Please read before unpacking your subwoofer.
We suggest unpacking your Power Sound Audio subwoofer on a
carpeted fl oor. This will avoid accidental scratches to a hard sur-
face or to the subwoofer as you remove it from the shipping box.
Your Power Sound Audio subwoofer may be very heavy. Please
fi nd assistance when needed, and be sure to use all proper lifting
methods during the unpacking process (and whenever you move
the subwoofer).

tains the grills, and two spacers. The manual, RCA-XLR cable
adapter, and power cord are located inside one of the spacers.
4. Remove the grills and spacers.
5. With assistance, lift straight up on the shipping box to reveal
your subwoofer.
6. With assistance, lift your subwoofer out of the shipping box
and place it on a carpeted fl oor or blanket to prevent damage.

Placement
Proper placement of your new Power Sound Audio subwoofer is
very important. Bass frequencies are non-directional, meaning
the human ear cannot locate a properly functioning subwoofer
in a typical home theater environment. While there are “rules of
thumb” regarding placement options, every room is a little differ-
ent. Please remember that each time you move the subwoofer to
a different location you should recalibrate the bass levels.
Corner placement tends to work well, particularly if there are no
large openings into the room near the corner. Another popular
placement option is “nearfi eld”. Place the subwoofer as close
as possible to the key seating positions. For example, place the
subwoofer directly behind the sofa. Every room has its own set of
acoustical challenges, so experiment with different placement op-
tions as much as time allows.
One method that often works well (particularly if the key seating
positions are in close proximity to one another) is to place the
subwoofer in your key seating position and then walk around the
room while a variety of bassy music and movies play through the
system. Mark the top 2 or 3 spots where the bass seems to sound
best, then try the subwoofer in those spots.
If you are using more than one subwoofer, placing them as close
as possible (collocate) to one another will give you the maxi-
mum clean output capabilities, but separating them may give you
smoother overall bass response at your seating positions. Again,
experiment as much as time allows and decide which option
sounds best to you.
