Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for choosing Diamond Audio D6 subwoofers. These speakers represent the latest advances
in acoustic technology, and like all Diamond Audio products, are hand built and tested using the highest
grade components and state of the art techniques. When installed properly, they will provide many years of
accurate sound reproduction.

Please keep in mind that prolonged exposure to sound pressure levels in excess of 100 dB can cause
permanent hearing loss. This high performance speaker system can exceed that level, so please
exercise restraint in its operation in order to preserve your ability to enjoy its delity in the future.

Because of their exible installation possibilities, please consider having your new speakers profes­sionally installed by an authorized Diamond Audio dealer. This will assure a clean and efcient
installation, and extend your one year warranty to three years.

At Diamond Audio, we strive to bring honest value and excellent quality to all of the products we build.
By your purchase of this product, you have joined the growing family of discerning listeners who
demand only the best. Welcome!

LIMITED SPEAKER WARRANTY STATEMENT

Diamond Audio Technologies, LLC (DAT) warrants this product to be free from defects in material and
workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the original date of purchase provided it was purchased from an authorized DAT

Should a manufacturing defect occur during above said warranty period, DAT will replace or repair the
defective product with a product of the same or equivalent value and performance.

Damage or failure caused by any of the following is not covered under this warranty policy: negligence,
improper use, abuse, product modification, unauthorized repair attempts, accident, acts of God,
misrepresentations by DAT retailers, and improper/inadequate packaging during return shipping.

Warranty is void if serial numbers have been removed, altered or defaced.
