Installing Subwoofer Feet
Proper installation of the supplied feet/carpet spikes is necessary for ALL LFM
subwoofer setups. These spikes provide the ground clearance that is required for
optimal performance and safety. Failure to use the feet provided will result in
damage not covered under the Outlaw Audio Warranty. For your convenience
we have provided “dimpled discs” that may be used when the LFM is placed on
surfaces other than carpet, such as wood, tile, certain rugs and linoleum surfaces
to prevent damage to the floor or floor covering.
