User manual BOSTON ACOUSTICS VOYAGER SUB12

[. . . ] There are three factors to consider when choosing a location for the Voyager Sub12 subwoofer. For maximum bass output, locate the Sub12 near a boundary, such as close to a house or near a wall. Typically, best results are achieved when the subwoofer is placed within 15 feet (5 meters) of the main speakers. However, the SA1's sharp 24dB-per-octave crossover allows for placement of the Sub12 farther from the main speakers.

Warning: Due to the weight of the Voyager subwoofer, do not perform the installation of the Voyager subwoofer alone. Power drill with screwdriver attachment · NOTE: When installed, the Voyager subwoofer should not be in direct contact with the joists or decking. Using a pencil or chalk, mark the location where the bracket is to be positioned both on the subwoofer and on the joists. (See diagram #1) The L-brackets are designed to fit in the bracket channels (BC) located on the sides of the cabinet. Mount the brackets to the enclosure with the provided screws, making sure the brackets are tight against the cabinet. (See diagram #3) The screws are selftapping; do not pre-drill. Once the brackets are installed on the Voyager subwoofer, secure the subwoofer to the joists under the deck in the predetermined location. After the system is checked, use nonconductive silicone to seal the area in and around the binding posts. This will help to prevent any corrosion that can occur when bare copper wire is exposed to the elements. Secure the wire to the deck to prevent it from being stretched, being pulled, or vibrating against the cabinet. Note: If the Voyager subwoofer's brackets are removed or repositioned, fill any unused screw holes in the Voyager Sub12 with caulk or silicone to ensure that the cabinet's airtight seal is maintained.
