SW1802

REAR CONNECT PLATE

Two professional twist-lock SPEAKON™ connectors and two standard 1/4”
phone jacks are featured. Use these connectors for connecting to the power
amp and daisy chaining to an additional speaker system.

SPEAKER CABLES

The PH50 is our standard cable when purchasing a complete sound system.
These cables feature 1/4” plugs and heavy 16 gauge copper wire. The PH50 is
adequate for lengths up to 50’ under normal use. You can DAISY-CHAIN up to
one additional speaker per cable by using the unused 1/4” OUTPUT” jack (right
side) on your speaker jack plate. Be sure to note the total impedance to the
amp so it is not lower than its recommended impedance.

PRECAUTIONS

1) DO NOT EXCEED THE POWER RATING marked on the rear connect plate.
Excessive power will destroy drivers. 2) DISTORTION from power amps will
destroy drivers much faster than clean power. 3) WATER, MOISTURE, and
DUST are harmful to drivers causing failure which is not covered under warranty.

Congratulations on your selection of the SW1802 Sub Woofer System. The
SW1802 is the finest sub-woofer enclosure that Carvin has ever produced. Perfect
for bands, DJ’s, and permanent installations. From tight, punchy upper-bass to earth
shaking sub-bass, the SW1802 can fulfill any professional sound reinforcement
requirement easily. These monsters are easily moved about by one person because
of the heavy duty casters and dual top-mounted handles. The built-in sub woofer
crossover does an excellent job eliminating all upper frequencies (can be switched
out for bi-amping or tri-amping directly to the drivers). Compatibility with any amp is
assured with high current SPEAKON™ twist-on connectors and standard 1/4” phone
jacks.
