Before Installation

1. Determine the location for the subwoofer(s).
2. Perform an obstruction survey using a stud finder to be

certain that there are no obstructions.
3. Position the included cutout template where the subwoofer

is to be located and pencil an outline on the wall. The cut-

out for the VPSUB is 12 3/4” x 12 3/4” (324mm x 324mm).
4. Cut the mounting hole using a keyhole or drywall saw and

run the subwoofer wires from the mounting hole to the

amplifier location.

NOTE: CONSULT LOCAL BUILDING CODES BEFORE RUNNING

SUBWOOFER WIRES THROUGH WALLS.

Installation

1. Strip 1/4” – 1/2” (6mm – 12mm) of insulation from each

subwoofer lead.
2. Twist the strands or tin the exposed wire with solder to

ensure that there are no stray strands.

NOTE: STRAY STRANDS THAT TOUCH EACH OTHER CAN CAUSE A

SHORT-CIRCUIT THAT CAN DAMAGE THE AMPLIFIER.

3. The subwoofer’s terminals are spring-loaded. Push the top

of each terminal down to open the connector and insert the

exposed wires (see Figure 1).
4. The subwoofer’s positive spring terminal is labeled with a red

dot; the negative spring terminal is labeled with a black dot.
5. Each VPSUB should be driven by a dedicated channel of a

DSP 2-150 or DSP 8-130 MKII amplifier. Be sure to select

the corresponding EQ preset in the amplifier using SONARC.

7. When installing into double drywall or other thicker wall

materials, you may need to remove part of the two-piece

toggle feet. Use a small screwdriver to gently release the two

locking levers (see Figure 3).

8. Tighten the screws on the front of the subwoofer baffle.

The RotoLock

toggle feet will automatically rotate into

position and begin clamping the subwoofer. When you

notice resistance on the screws the speaker has been

clamped successfully.

9. The micro-trim grille is held in place by several small,

powerful magnets on the speaker frame. Place the grille

against the subwoofer and the magnets will hold it firmly in

place. When properly installed, the grille trim should make

contact with the wall all the way around the subwoofer.

NOTE: WITHOUT THE EQ PRESET, THE VPSUB OUTPUT WILL BE

SEVERELY LIMITED.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS USE LOW-TORQUE SETTINGS; NEVER OVER

TIGHTEN. NOTE: ADJUSTING THE TENSION OF THE ROTOLOCK

CLAMPS SO THAT THE SUBWOOFER FRAME IS FLAT WILL HELP

ENSURE THAT THE GRILLE CONTACTS THE WALL ALL THE WAY

AROUND THE SUBWOOFER FOR A PROPER FIT.
