Enhanced Cube Subwoofer  

ECS-10

Congratulations on the purchase of an Outlaw Audio ECS-10 Enhanced Cube 
Subwoofer. The ECS-10 provides deep, tight, bass extension that’s powerful enough 
to meet the most demanding requirements of any movie or musical source. 
Thanks to a flexible crossover system that may be defeated for use with advanced 
bass management systems, the ECS-10 blends seamlessly with both small satellite 
speakers as well as large tower type speaker systems.
The ECS-10’s high-power and long-throw woofer are housed in a cabinet that 
measures just over a cubic foot, ensuring that your new subwoofer can be tucked 
away out-of-sight in almost any listening environment.
Among the ECS-10’s many features are:

 

A long throw 10” driver for deep bass extension

 

Oversized spider for increased linearity at high excursion

 

A powerful 1,000 watt RMS (2000 watts dynamic) amplifier for precision 
driver control

 

Signal Sense for automatic turn on/off (can be defeated)

 

0/180-degree phase control

 

Stereo line level and speaker level inputs

 

LFE input

Unpacking

The carton and packing materials used in shipping your new subwoofer were 
specially designed to cushion it from the shocks and vibrations of shipping. We 
strongly suggest that you save the carton and packing materials to use if you move, 
or if the unit ever needs to be shipped back to us for any reason.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it by carefully 
opening the top and bottom flaps and folding the carton flat. Packing materials 
that cannot be collapsed should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.

Before You Begin

Before proceeding with the integration of the ECS-10 into your system, please 
observe the following precautions and suggestions.

 

Do not plug the power cord into the ECS-10 until all other connections are 
made.

 

Always refer to the instructions that came with the receiver or processor for 
specific procedures, warnings and options.

 

Make sure to insert all plugs and connectors securely. Improper connections 
can result in noise, poor performance, or damage to the equipment.

 

Do not bundle the subwoofer cable or speaker wire with the power cord. This 
may adversely affect the sound quality and introduce unwanted hum into 
your system.
