Planning: Amplifier Wiring
Find a location for the subwoofer. Positioning it near the satellite speakers is
visually and sonically advantageous; being close to walls, especially corners, is
very helpful when maximum loudness is important. Start with where you want
the port opening to be. Then determine where the enclosure needs to be placed
to allow the port tube to easily reach the desired port opening location. For the
subwoofer to fit, the joists need to be at least 14” apart.
Planning: Location
You will need a wire that has at least two conductors; one that can be identified
as the positive and the other as the negative. All two conductor wires have some
means of identifying which conductor is which, but at times this identification
may be subtle. It’s crucial that you keep track of which wire you use for positive
(+) and negative (-). Typically if the wires are colored red and black, the red wire
is used for positive and the black wire is used for negative, but sometimes other
About Speaker Wire
We recommend using one of our separate subwoofer amplifiers or 3-channel
amplifiers with the DSUB8 for best performance. This method will allow you to
adjust the subwoofer output to achieve the sub-to-satellite balance you want
regardless of subwoofer location or number of satellite speakers used. When
using a separate subwoofer amplifier or dedicated sub channel, you will need to
run three paired speaker wires to the speaker location, 1 for the subwoofer, 2 for
the Left and Right speakers.
