Congratulations and thank you for purchasing Soundstream products. We are confi-
dent you will enjoy your new subwoofer and appreciate the effort involved in bringing
you the best engineered and crafted subwoofer in this category. Harmonic
indulgence...Listen and feel.
We advise you to keep this manual in a safe and dry place. Write down any important
information to reference from in the future, such as you enclosure information and
port dimensions. Draw a simple diagram or parameters of the enclosure incase you
ever need to reference from it in the future.
Due to the nature of this speaker, it works best when installed in smaller sealed enclo-
sures. The use of a ported enclosure will resulting in unsatisfactory performance and
low speaker life. This speaker is intended to form a multi-way system utilizing custom
built passive crossover networks tuned between 60 - 1250Hz at an 18dB or greater
slope. Please consult the assistance of a qualified technician for more information
before proceeding with your installation. The use of an active (electronic) crossover is
also a good idea, but both should be considered to provide the best performance
and frequency response.

Optimum Enclosure
Because both of SM8-100 and SM16-90 are only available in a single 8 ohm voice
coil configuration, and SM16-94 is only available in a single 4 ohm voice coil
configuration there are no wiring diagrams to explain for other possible
impedance levels. However, you can obtain different impedance levels with
multiple speakers connected to one circuit, but because of the intended
application of the speaker the information is not disclosed. If you will be designing a
system which requires more than one driver in one a circuit and need assistance
calculating the impedance, please E-mail tech-support@soundstream.com for
more information or call our offices at 323.724.4600.
