We congratulate and thank you for choosing a PINNACLE

®

 subwoofer.  Our subwoofers exemplify 

the best in modern audio technology, and are designed to produce remarkable amounts of deep bass.  

Please read this manual completely to ensure the best possible performance from your Home Theater or 

sound system. 

 

SOLID BRASS ISOLATION CONES:

 

 

Please make sure to install the Solid Brass Isolation Cones into the bottom of your subwoofer 

cabinet.  They are an important part of the performance of the product and will improve the bass definition.   

 

With the cabinet on its side, simply screw the cones into their receptacles on the bottom of the 

cabinet.  Then, with the cabinet upright, adjust the cones individually as needed to level the cabinet.  When 

the cones have been adjusted to the proper height, screw each nut up the threaded shaft flush with the 

bottom of the cabinet to secure the height setting.  If you intend to place your subwoofer on wooden or vinyl 

floors, we suggest placing a penny under each cone to prevent any indentations. 

 

PLACEMENT:

 

Recommended Subwoofer Placement: 

a) Within a few inches of the room corner closest to your left or right front speaker (maximum low 

bass output); 

b) Against the wall between your left and right front speakers (strong low bass output with optimal 

blending to front speakers); 

c) Near any other room corner or wall. 

Other locations will provide varying degrees of low bass impact and blending with your front speakers.  We 

recommend listening to your system, with the subwoofer in different room positions, to obtain a location with 

an optimum response.  Please be sure to leave at least ~2-3" between the rear woofer and your wall. 

 

If you must place your subwoofer near baseboard heaters or forced hot air vents try to leave at least 

4” of clearance for proper ventilation.  Do not place your subwoofer outdoors, or in any wet or excessively 

damp environment. 

 

Note: If you have an older, non-flat screen TV, please place your subwoofer far enough away from 

your TV (approximately 2-3 feet) to avoid any color distortion from being caused by your subwoofer’s 

powerful magnet.  If you experience picture distortion, simply move the subwoofer away from the TV until the 

picture becomes distortion free.  We also recommend keeping magnetic media such as audio/videotapes 

and computer disks at least 2-3 feet away from your subwoofer to prevent damaging them.
