LocationLocationThe suggestions below will typically result in outstanding performance.However, although low frequencies arenon-directional, factors such as roomreflections, standing waves, resonanceand absorption will strongly affect yoursubwoofer’s performance.Since your SubRosa subwoofer is designed to be professionally installed intoyour wall, engineering services from yourAuthorized Sunfire Dealer and/or outsideacoustical resources should be considered to ensure optimum performance.The SubRosa amplifier’s Auto EQfeature will tailor the sound to the roomfor optimum performance in the locationyou choose.Keep the subwoofer at leasttwo or three feet away from anyTV screen, computer, VCR ormagnetic tapes and discs. This willreduce the chance of the magnetic fieldsupsetting the TV screen or erasing yourmagnetic media.Corner installationInstalling the subwooferon the front wall, towards thecorner will reinforce the lowfrequencies.This is best suited for: Rooms larger than 200square feet where asingle subwoofer will beused, For dedicated hometheaters For listeners who enjoy“heavy” bass.User's ManualCorner location
Center locationLocationInstalling the subwoofercloser to the center of the frontwall will still provide adequatebass, but will tend to be less“heavy” and somewhat tighter.This is ideally suited for: For rooms smallerthan 200 square feet Dedicated musiclistening rooms.Central locationUsing Two SubwoofersIf you wish to use two subwoofers, the sound output will double. Locating thesubwoofers on the front wall, with one towards each corner will provide more flexibility incrossover points, without causing localization that can happen with subwoofers locatedon side and rear walls. Sunfire preamplifiers and receivers feature multiple subwooferoutputs for these applications. If your preamplifier has a single sub/LFE output, use a Ycable to split it into two outputs.Corner locationfor two subwoofers User's Manual
Vertical mountingDue to residential construction methods, vertical mounting of the cabinet isrecommended. The subwoofer cabinetwill fit between 2 x 4 inch studs on 16inch centers.Horizontal mounting is also possible,but needs additional framing steps. Seepage 10 for horizontal mounting details.1.It is recommended that you add ahorizontal brace below the cabinetto raise it above the height of thefinished floor and baseboard molding. This will prevent accidental nailpunctures in the cabinet.2.Add a horizontal brace above thesubwoofer cabinet, leaving enoughroom to make your speaker wireconnections to the push-terminals.3.Add further horizontal braces ateither side of the cabinet, butmake sure that they are at differentheights to randomize wall resonances.4.Attach self-adhesive foam strips tothe cabinet wherever there will becontact with the studs or sheetrock.Use longer strips for the sides, andshorter strips for the front face andthe shorter side resting against thelower horizontal brace.Notes: Use the illustrations as a guide,but follow all local building codesregarding the actual framing methods. The insulation stuffed inside thecabinet is required for proper operation. Do not remove the insulationduring the cabinet installation.23314Typical vertical framingUser's Manual FramingFraming
Cab InstallCabinet Installation1.With the help of an assistant tolift the cabinet, check the fit of thecabinet into the framing. Use woodshims if there is any gap betweenthe cabinet sides and the verticalstuds.2.If it makes it easier, you can connect the wiring to the cabinet beforeyou secure it in place. See the nextpage for details.3.When you are happy with the fit ofthe cabinet, apply wood glue, suchas Liquid Nails along the cabinetsides. Fit the cabinet into the framing until its front face is flush withthe front face of the framing.4.Use a level to check that the cabinet is vertical.5.Use six woodscrews (supplied) ormore on each side to secure thecabinet in place. Do not screw intoany of the joints of the cabinet. Thecabinet walls are 3/4 inch thick, somake sure the screws do not passall the way through. (The suppliedscrews will not pass through, ifused with standard 2x4 studs.)Gluing and screwing thecabinet in place10User's Manual
WiringInstall the speaker wires followingall local codes for electrical wiringinstallation. Use class 2 wiring,and 12 gauge is recommended, 16gauge is the minimum.2.Follow common low voltagepractices like avoiding high voltageelectrical wiring, or crossing themperpendicularly. This will reduce thechance of picking up hum or otherinterference.3.Make the speaker wire connections to the subwoofer terminal cup,observing the correct polarity. Theterminals are spring-loaded.4.Secure the wire to the studs withelectrical staples to prevent rattlesand movement in operation.5.Do an electrical continuity test tomake sure the connections aregood from the amplifier-end of thespeaker wire to the ends of thetwo pre-installed wires coming outfrom the inside of the subwoofer.Temporarily remove the cardboarddebris shield to reach the wires.6.Use caulk to seal the nearest cableholes to the cabinet. This will prevent air movement and secure thecables in place. Due to the natureof subwoofers, it is a good idea tosecure the wiring from vibration asmuch as possible. Do not have theweight of the cables hanging on theterminals.caulkClose-up of the spring-loadedconnectionsConnecting speakerwire to the subwooferUser's Manual11Wiring1.
Rough-inFinal Rough-in1.Make sure the debris shield is fittedinto the cabinet opening using theplastic push rivets supplied. Thiswill prevent dust and sheetrockdebris from entering the cabinet.Debris shield12User's Manual
1.Apply glue to the framing surrounding the cabinet. Also apply glueto the front surface of the cabinet,wherever it will be in contact withthe sheetrock.3.Fit the sheetrock in place withsheetrock screws spaced 4 inchesapart.4.Carefully cut away the sheetrock toreveal the cabinet's aperture. Nowthat you can see the location better,add screws to secure the sheetrockto the front face of the subwoofergluecabinet. Make sure that no screwspass close to the speaker wires orthe terminal cup.5.With the cardboard debris shield inplace, the walls can be painted andfinished as required.6.Leave the cardboard debris shieldin place until you are ready toinstall the woofer baffle assembly.It can be removed by cutting it andcarefully pulling out the rivets holding it in place.7.SheetrockSheetrock installationApplying glue forsheetrockingSee page 16 for details regardingthe installation of the woofer baffleassembly and grille frame assembly.Sheetrock over thesubwoofer installationUser's Manual13
HorizontalHorizontal mountingIn this position, the subwoofer's longestside is horizontal. This may be requiredfor some installations, although it requiresmore framing work.The procedure for mounting is basicallythe same as the vertical mounting.1.2.Attach the self-adhesive foam strips(supplied) to the cabinet whereverthere will be contact with the studsor sheetrock. Use longer strips forthe sides, and shorter strips for thefront face and the shorter verticalside.The cabinet should be mounted offthe floor as shown, to prevent nailsfrom puncturing the cabinet duringbaseboard installation.22Typical horizontal framing14User's Manual
With the help of an assistant to liftthe cabinet, check the fit into theframing, and use shims if required.4.Wiring the subwoofer is the sameas described previously, except thatthere is not much room to make theconnections to the binding posts.5.Use wood glue, such as LiquidNails along the cabinet top andside. Fit the cabinet into the framinguntil its front face is flush with thefront face of the framing.6.Use a level to make sure the cabinet is horizontal.7.Use six woodscrews or more alongthe top, and a few into the side tosecure the cabinet in place. If pos-sible, add a few screws to securethe bottom face of the cabinet. Youmay have to angle them in, but donot screw in to any of the cabinetjoints. The cabinet walls are 3/4inch thick, so make sure the screwsdo not pass all the way through.8.Do an electrical continuity test tomake sure the connections aregood from the amplifier-end of thespeaker wire to the ends of the twopre-installed wires coming out fromthe inside of the subwoofer.9.Finishing with sheetrock is thesame as described for verticalmounting. Fit the debris shieldbefore starting the sheetrock installation.10.
