Protective Cover
A 1/2" thick protective cover of MDF covers the CSW155 grille
opening. This pr
otective cover (15 1/2" x 17 1/2") is also the
template you will use to cut the grille opening. Affixed to the
MDF cover is this label:
Installation
Refer to the installation instructions included with
the CSW155 subwoofer.
For a retrofit application, consult an Installation professional.
CSW155 SPEAKER WIRE HOOKUPS
The CSW155 has one (1) set of input terminals. Connect the
red (+ positive terminal) of the subwoofer to the positive (+)
terminal on the amplifier or receiver. Connect the black to the
(– negative terminal) on the subwoofer to the negative (–)
terminal on the amplifier or receiver.
CSW200
The CSW200 is a dir
ect radiating subwoofer with a
10-inch driver in a 1.5 cubic foot Slot Vented MDF enclosure. Its
large size (34 1/8" L x 13" W x 9" D) and long-throw woofer driver
means the CSW200 is capable of producing the most robust bass
down to below 30Hz. Yet the CSW200 can fit between the tighter
joist-spacing of QuietFloor
™
or wooden I-Beam construction. With
a choice of modest-sized grille openings, we r
ecommend the
CSW200 for systems in which ultimate performance is
paramount and where small size and an unobtrusive grille
are less critical.
FEATURES
• 10" Long-throw driver with dual spiders for long
excursion contr
ol.
• Klippel Distortion Analyzer optimized driver.
• Slot Vented MDF Enclosure.
• Designed specifically for floor and ceiling installations.
• Fits standard QuietFloor and I-beam construction.
• Mounting hardware and anti-rattle isolation pads included.
• 5 year warranty.

THE SWA500 AMPLIFIER AND SPEX CARDS
Note: When installing the Polk Audio SWA500 matching
amplifier, make sure you install the appropriate SPEX Card.
See the SWA500 Manual for installation procedure.
SPEX Cards configure the SWA500 for the particular model
subwoofer you are installing. The card pre-programs equaliza-
tion and overload protection. The card also has power control
circuitry designed specifically to the subwoofer’s require-
ments for extra reliability (see SWA500 instruction manual
for installation instructions).
Important Note: The CSW200 IS NOT moisture-proof.
Never allow it to come into contact with water.
CSW200 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Protective Cover
A 1/2" plate of MDF covers the CSW200 woofer to protect it
and the cabinet during shipping and installation. Affixed to the
MDF cover is the following label:
The CSW200 does not include a grille. We recommend using a
12" x 12" grille, though you may use a variety of grilles with the
CSW200 (10" x 10"or 8" x 14" for example). To prevent spurious
noises, use a grille that doesn’t resonate and caulk it. To install
the CSW200, follow the pr
ocedur
e that applies to your job.
Note: The CSW200 weighs 48 lbs.
In-floor Installation
1. Taking the dimensions of the CSW, mark off the dimensions
of the enclosure and then the centerline dimensions of the
woofer opening. The center of the woofer is 6.5" from both
sides of the enclosure (see dimensions).
Note: The CSW200 has two sets of
inputs, one at each end of the enclosure.
Y
ou may use either one.
2. Working from the centerline of the woofer, mark
off the grille opening you wish to cut.
3. Cut the grille opening.
4. Remove the Woofer Protection Cover.
Note: Hold the CSW200 into the floor or ceiling. You will
need to support a 48 pound subwoofer for a little while during
installation, so have a co-worker or mechanical device support
the woofer during final installation (#5 - 9 are subsets of
this instruction).
5. Attach mounting brackets to the subwoofer at each corner.
(Use the 3/4" screws supplied.) Tighten both brackets on
one side of the subwoofer until the brackets seat flush
against the subwoofer. The other brackets should
remain loose.
6. Attach additional anti-resonance pads (included) to any sides
of the subwoofer that will mount flush against support beams.
7. Place the subwoofer in the floor or ceiling space
flush with the beam face, then attach the brackets to
the beam, tightening them down completely.
8. Extend the two loose brackets that attach to the
other beam and tighten them flush against the beam.
9. Insert the grille into the opening, caulk and secure it.
CSW200 SPEAKER WIRE HOOKUPS
The CSW200 subwoofer has 2 sets of clearly marked input
terminals. There is one set on each end. Use either set to
hookup the subwoofer but not both. Connect the red (+ positive
terminal) of the subwoofer to the positive (+) terminal on the
amplifier or r
eceiver. Connect the black to the (– negative
terminal) on the subwoofer to the negative (–) terminal on
the amplifier or receiver.
