What’s Included
The gauge of wire used can have an impact on the performance of your speakers. Use a
multi-stranded wiring designed for amplifier to speaker connections. Which gauge to select
depends on the length of wire to be used on any particular speaker. The longer your run is,
the larger your wire size must be.
Wire Recommendation

Planning: Amplifier Wiring
Find a location for the subwoofer. Positioning it near the satellite speakers is visually and
sonically advantageous; being close to walls, especially corners, is very helpful when
maximum loudness is important. Start with where you want the port opening to be. Then
determine where the enclosure needs to be placed to allow the port tube to easily reach
the desired port opening location. For the subwoofer to fit, the joists need to be at least
14” apart.
Planning: Location
You will need a wire that has at least two conductors; one that can be identified as the pos-
itive and the other as the negative. All two conductor wires have some means of identifying
which conductor is which, but at times this identification may be subtle. It’s crucial that you
keep track of which wire you use for positive (+) and negative (-). Typically if the wires are
colored red and black, the red wire is used for positive and the black wire is used for neg-
ative, but sometimes other colors or patterns are used. You can choose whichever color
About Speaker Wire
Will you be driving it with a 2-channel amplifier or a designated subwoofer amplifier?
The 2-channel option works fine but the separate subwoofer amplifier will allow you to
adjust the subwoofer output to achieve the sub-to-satellite balance you want regardless
of subwoofer location or number of satellite speakers used. If you opt for the separate
subwoofer amplifier, you will need to run three paired speaker wires to the speaker location.

Hold the template to the joist that you plan
on attaching the subwoofer enclosure to.
Drill six holes through the marked locations
on the template using a ” (8mm) drill
bit. Face the enclosure’s rubber damping
pad towards the joist and secure it in place
with the supplied lag screws and washers.
Use the 3” screws for 2” thick joists/trusses
and 2” screws for 1” or thinner joists/trusses. We recommend that one person holds the
subwoofer in place while another tightens the screws to secure the DSUB to the joist.

of wire you want to be positive and negative as long as you remain consistent throughout
the install.
On both your amplifier and your speaker the connectors will be identified as red for pos-
itive and black for negative. It is very important to look carefully at the speaker wires and
be certain that the same wire that is attached to the positive connector in the amplifier is
attached to the positive connector in the speaker.

Install the BZ68 bayonet ring. Pull the port tube
through the ring, slip the port adapter into the
end and tighten the screw on the hose clamp to
get a snug, secure attachment.
lnstall the new construction bracket to position
the hole for the port opening. You can attach
it directly to a joist or use the supplied wings to
position it precisely where you want it.

Use the DSUB6F68K, DSUB6F5K, DSUB6F3K
supplied screws to attach the port tube to the
enclosure. Test the wired DSUB to see that it’s
working properly. If you are using 2 channels of
input, make sure to test both.

Fit the port adaptor into the bayonet ring, and twist it clockwise into place.

You will probably want to twist the port adaptor counterclockwise an inch or two be- fore
twisting it into the InstaMount so that the torque of the port tube doesn’t accidentally “un-
twist” the port adaptor when it’s in use.

Insert the trim ring through the hole in the drywall and into the bracket opening. You may
need to rotate it slightly to get it to seat into place. Using the supplied screws and a #1 phil-
lips screwdriver, fasten the trim ring to the bracket opening so that it fits snugly against the
ceiling surface.

Adjust the clips so that they’re positioned at the top of the rail. If they’re not already there
you can do this by pushing the metal release tabs on the inside of the rail and pulling the
clips to the top of the rails. Insert the bayonet ring into the hole in the ceiling by gently
bending the clips inward. Reach inside the bayonet ring and push the clips down so that
the bayonet ring is firmly in place, but not too tight. If for some reason the bayonet ring
needs to be removed, reach inside and push the release tabs to reset the clips. The bayonet
ring can now be taken out.
