Installation
Observe the following general pre cau -
tions and read the safety in struc tions on 
pages 2 and 3 before using your Sunfi re 
Subwoofer.
•      Never open the cabinet or remove 
the metal control panel as this 
might result in an electrical shock to 
you or dam age to the unit.
•      Protect it from prolonged ex po sure 
to direct sunlight and other direct     
sources of heat, such as heating     
vents and ra di a tors. 
•      To prevent fi re or shock, do not 
expose the unit to rain or moisture. 
If fl uid or a foreign object should 
enter the unit, immediately turn off 
the power and contact your Sunfi re 
Dealer. 
•      Avoid excessive exposure to           
extreme cold or dust.
•      Do not place heavy objects on top 
of the unit.
•      Do not place the subwoofer with its 
control panel against the fl oor.
•      If you wish to place your woofer so 
the drivers face the fl oor and ceil-
ing, thereby moving up and down, 
use at least 1-1/2 inch high spikes 
or feet for support. They may be 
attached either with screws or self-
stick backing. This ar range ment will 
impart substantial house and fl oor 
shaking motion.
•      Four extra heavy, shock absorbing 
rubber mounting feet have been 
included. If your woofer tends 
to wander about slightly while in 
use, place these feet just inside 
the existing feet positions. These 
shock absorbing mounts will let the 
woofer rock freely, thereby absorb-
ing low frequency rocking energy, 
allowing it to adhere solidly to the 
fl oor.
Heat rise
•      Allow adequate ventilation around 
the metal control panel of the 
subwoofer.
•      Do not let anything come into 
contact with the panel and keep it 
at least two inches away from any 
walls.
The metal control plate serves as the 
am pli fi  er heat sink and also as a conduit 
to remove internal heat to the outside 
and into the atmosphere. It can reach 
tem per a tures of 60 degrees C, which 
will feel hot to the touch, using nerves of 
fl esh and blood as tem per a ture sen-
sors. As uncomfortable as it may feel, 60 
degrees C cannot burn you, and in fact is 
almost cool to copper, silicon, steel, and 
aluminum, the materials from which your 
woofer is con struct ed. 
AC Power Considerations
Ensure that the unit is plugged into an 
outlet capable of supplying the correct 
voltage specifi ed for your model. 
Unplug your subwoofer’s power cord 
from the electrical outlet if it will be left 
unused for a long period of time.
Route the power-supply cord so it is not 
likely to be walked on or pinched by items 
placed upon or against it, es pe cial ly at 
plugs, con ve nience re cep ta cles, and the 
point where it exits from the unit.
Magnetic Fields
We recommend that you place your 
woofer further than two feet away from 
your TV, VCR, tape deck or computer, so 
the speak er’s magnet won’t distort the 
colors of your TV picture or erase your 
video tapes, audio tapes or computer 
discs.
