Spe ake r level input and out pu ts v ia barrie r st rip are passiv ely filtered (10 0 Hz 12 db/ octa ve low pass for t he subw oofer

3) Back off the coupling nut com pletely (Fig. 11) and thread on a backing nut with which to lock threads to the coupler.
Hold the coupler up to the hanger bolt to estimate the half way point of the coupler, and set the backing nut to
that height before re-ins talling the coupler and tightening it in place with a socket and an open end wrench.
Thread a backing nut onto the threaded rod (or an eyebolt) far enough so the rod can be threaded into the coupler
un til it sto p s, h aving reach ed th e hang er b olt insid e. N o w tigh ten u p th e b acking nu t on the rod to secure it fro m
t urning, unt il it looks like (Fig . 4). Remembe r t hat t he rod could ot he rw ise be an eye bolt, if y ou are using the w ire
rope suspension method, or a Hilti™ type fastener. Be sure to follow local building codes.
4) Alw a y s in st all and u tilize all fou r point s, an d it sh ou ld look like (Fig . 13 ). In t his phot o, t he t urnbuckles h a v e be e n
added to the ends of the rods. The closed eyebolt on the turnbuckle has been removed and replaced with the
threaded rod. No te that the turnbuckle is stamped with an “ L ” to identify the load or live end. O bserve the correct
as s embly procedure from rod to eye- hook.
5) It’s now a fairly simple procedu re t o place t he su bwoofe r ont o t he await ing h ooks. Tw o people, on t w o separat e

6) If n o su itable poin t e x ist s dire ct ly abov e t he de sired locat ion, y ou can u se w ire rope or ch a in t o make con ne ct ion s
that are not perpendicular to the suspension point(s). Under no circumstances should the angles exceed+/- 15
degrees from vertical. Make certain that you follow closely the instructions and regulations for the use of wire
rope for overhead suspension. Serious injury could result if guidelines and s afety margins are not closely obeyed.

some, or perhaps all of your wire ropes on the ground, and us e a quick link (Fig. 7) on each end to connect
between both the s uspens ion point and at the s ubwoofer. Again, it is important to follow local code and regulations
for u se of wir e rope in ov e rhe ad suspension. C heck w it h you r su pplier for additional inst ru ct ion s on it s u se.
8) Once two ins tallers have raised the subwoofer to the ropes and the sub is safely s us pended, it can be leveled by
adjust ing t he rope lengt hs. C hec k for ev e n t e nsion on all rope s, and not e t ha t it is mu ch ea sier t o let some w ir e
slip out of the tighter ropes , rather than trying to pull up and tighten the loose ropes. Once the subwoofer is level,
the installation is comp lete.

secure mo unting to the PIR with 2-1/2” #8 woo d screws. Use a com bination square to measure the thickness of
the PIR (approx. 5/8” ), and then transfer the measurem ent to the joist.
2) (F ig . 2) Scre w the blocking t o t he joist with se veral e venly spaced screw s. (Fig . 3) Fast e n t he PIR similarly t o
t he blocking. Not e tha t there are no pre -drilled hole s; use t he w ood scre w s t o go dire ct ly t hrough t he PI R,
ke e ping a 1” cleara nce from any “T”-nuts. No t e : t he P IR must be inst alle d w ith “T”-nut s on t he t op side . T he
PI R is clearly marked for y ou r safe ty and conv e nie nce.

3) (Fig. 4) shows t he PIR inst a lle d against a st eel st ud furring channel. Atta ch t he P IR w it h screws dire ct ly t hrough
the furring and into 24” s trips of blocking installed on the upper side of the channel so that the screws will go
int o both. Ensure t hat ov e rhe ad w ork is carrie d out safe ly, and according t o local building code s.
4) After t he PIR inst allation is comple te, run y our signal wires. At t his time, have an ele ctrician in sta ll e le ct rical
circuits for your sub, if required.
5) Also at t his t ime , w e re comme nd t hat you in stall a safe ty lin e, t y pically a light gauge w ire rope , from a secure
po int on the sup port structure abo ve the subwo ofer. Attach this to the strapping o n either side of the sub and
suspe nd it in case t he inst allation is compromise d. Follow t he inst ruct ion s for w ire rope inst allation from y our
w ire rope supplie r, and check with you r local building code for specifics.

6) Leave s ome exces s wire hanging through the opening in the PIR so the drywall contractors can cut a locate hole
and drop the wires through. You may als o want to cons ult with them on cutting out the opening for the s ub
as t hey w ill like ly h a ve the power tools (F ig . 1 1) ne cessary t o quickly and accu r ately cut out t he ope ning (Fig. 5) .
7) If y ou are inexperie nce d, but plan on doing t his you rse lf , t he job can be made e asie r by proce e ding in two st e ps.
1) “Hog” out t he maj or in side portion of t he materia l (Fig . 5) .
2) C a re fully cu t out t he re cess for at t a ching t he subw oofer (Fig . 6).
8) A word about the Roto zip™ to ol for cutting holes in wallbo ard: using the correct bit, and accurately setting the
cut tin g de pth w ill grea tly reduce any errors cause d by t he tool “ge tt ing away ” or cut ting int o t he PIR. Use only a
Guidepoint™ bit as pictured (Fig. 11); it will follow the ins ide perimeter of the PIR. For the firs t cut, set the
depth to the thicknes s of the wallboard plus 5/8” (the thickness of the PIR). Example: 5/8” PIR plus 5/8” wall
board equ als 1-1/ 4” cu tt in g dept h.
9) After the majority of the material has b een remo ved from the center o f the PIR, you can set the cutting depth for
the second step . H olding the too l up to the op ening, set the depth gauge so that the G uidep oint™ bit will now
follow the recesse d cuta way in the PI R.

location and color of the 11 “ T” - nuts , and the location and orientation of the cutout in the PIR. The four corner

prepare to make the AC mains connection before completing the next step.
12 ) Put t he su bw oofer int o place, rest ing it on an angle (Fig . 7) on t he secondary w ooden inst a llation “ledge” on
the side of the s ub; this will assist you in getting a hand free to operate a screw gun (Fig. 8). There are seven 3” ,

Th e 110CS su b woo fer is easily in stalled in alm o st any in d o o r lo catio n wh ere access to a co rn er is availab le. A lth o u g h its
appearance is handsome in full view, the wide dispers ion of its down firing woofer and the dis persion of low frequencies
in gene ra l, allow mode rate obst ruct ion s su ch as chairs, plant s etc. t o be placed dire ct ly in front of t he cabine t. A corn er
posit ion against solid w alls will height en the bass pe rformance result ing in a woofer sounding larger and more pow e rful
than its compact size would suggest.
In locations where the situation dictates a higher positioning of the subwoofer, the supplied wall brackets for mounting
to 16” cen ter stu d s m ay b e u tilized .
All connections and controls are access ed under the snap- on top panel. Note the hole provided in the cabinet rear
