Variable Tuning Ultra-X12 Subwoofer
7
Overview
Assembling and
Connecting your
Subwoofer
T
o get the maximum performance from
your new subwoofer it must be connected
and positioned properly within the room and
configured to match your speakers. To connect
the subwoofer you will need either a single audio
interconnect cable (in the case of systems with a
subwoofer output), dual RCA interconnects (for
a system with L/R pre-outs but no subwoofer
output), or additional speaker wire.
Before proceeding with the integration of
the Ultra-X12 into your system, please observe the
precautions and suggestions listed below.
Before you Begin
¼
Do not plug the power cord into the subwoofer until
all other connections are made.
¼
Always refer to your receiver or processor’s instruc-
tions for specific procedures, warnings and options.
¼
Do not attempt to operate the Ultra-X12 unless the
feet have been properly installed. This may restrict
driver movement and will cause damage to the
subwoofer that is not covered by the warranty.
¼
When using the subwoofer on surfaces such as wood
floors and certain tight weave rugs, be sure to use
the supplied dimpled discs to prevent damage to the
floor's surface. You are responsible for determining
when use of these discs is required.
¼
Make sure to insert all plugs and connectors securely.
Improper connections can result in noise, poor perfor-
mance, or damage to the equipment.
¼
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.
Installing the Subwoofer Feet
Proper installation of the supplied feet/carpet spikes is
necessary for ALL Variable Tuning subwoofer setups.
These spikes provide the floor clearance required for
optimal performance and safety. Failure to use the feet
provided will result in damage not covered under the
Outlaw Audio Warranty.
For your convenience we have provided “dimpled discs”
that may be used when the Ultra is placed on non-carpet
floors, such as wood, tile, certain rugs and linoleum sur-
faces to prevent damage to the floor or floor covering.
¼
To install the carpet spikes:
1.
Carefully turn the subwoofer upside down.
Use a blanket or other material to prevent scratching the
top surface of the subwoofer.
2.
Thread the provided rods into the spiked feet.
Make sure the rods are threaded all the way in.
3.
Screw a spike foot into the threaded hole in each
corner of the subwoofer cabinet.
Tighten the spike by hand until no threads are showing and
the base of the foot is flush with the bottom of the cabinet.
4.
After all four carpet spikes have been installed,
turn the Ultra over so that it is upright.
We recommend that this be done by two people due to
the weight of the unit, and to make certain that the floor
surface is not damaged while the unit is being turned back
to the upright position.
If the Ultra is being placed on a surface that may be
damaged by the carpet spikes, place one of the supplied
black, dimpled discs under each foot.
