Unpacking the System
Carefully unpack the subwoofer. If there is any sign of damage from transit, report it immediately to your dealer and/or
delivery service. Keep the shipping carton and packing materials for future use. Be sure to keep your purchase receipt in a
safe place, as it may be required for warranty purposes.
SoundWare Sub Conguration
The SoundWare Sub comes from the factory congured as a forward-ring speaker. If you prefer, you can easily convert it to a
downward ring conguration. To use the SoundWare Sub in the forward-ring conguration, place it on the cabinet surface
that has the Boston logo. A oor pad is provided that should be used if the Sub is placed on a hard oor, or a oor that has
a thin or unpadded carpet or rug. If the Sub is placed on a oor that has a thicker, padded carpet, the oor pad may not be
needed.
To recongure the SoundWare Sub remove the grille by grasping the edges and pulling it o the cabinet. You’ll see four
recessed cups in the front of the cabinet where the posts that hold the grill in place had been. Screw the four supplied feet
into these cups. Then carefully turn the Sub over and set it on the feet.
Caution: Do not push in on the cone of the speaker while conguring the Sub. That could cause damage that is not covered
by the warranty

Placement
Place the subwoofer next to a wall or in a corner near your main speakers. The sound is typically best when the subwoofer is
within 15 feet (4.5m) of the main speakers. The sharp 24dB/octave crossover roll-o permits placement farther from the main
speakers if necessary. Since the ear is unable to localize the low frequencies of the subwoofer, the bass still appears to come
from the main speakers. Experimentation is key, however most positions in the room will work well.
