Required Tools/Items

• Screwdriver

• Speaker wire

• Tape measure

For this setup, use a multi­stranded wiring designed for
amplifier to speaker connections.
The gauge of wire used can have
an impact on the performance
of your speakers, and we
recommend choosing the largest
wire size that is practical for your
installation. Which gauge to select
depends on the length of wire to
be used on any particular speaker.
In general the shorter the run the

smaller the wire size you can use,
however you can never go wrong
by using a thicker gauge.

Speaker Wire Recommendations

Location

The location of your subwoofer(s) will have a large impact on
sound quality. For best results, install the subwoofer so the bot­tom is close to the ground and in either corner in the front of the
room. If you’re installing two subwoofers in the room, the best
option is one in each corner in the front.

Amplifier

This subwoofer has been designed to work with an Origin Sub­woofer amplifier, either the SubA150 or the SubA500.

Enclosure Installation

1) Installing the Wire

Strip ¼ to ½ inches (6 to 12
mm) of the insulation o both
ends of the wire. To avoid stray
strands, twist them at the end.

Connect the wire to the am­plifier, but don’t plug in the
amplifier AC just yet. Route the
wire through the walls to the
subwoofer location.

You will need a wire that has at least two conductors; one that can be
identified as the positive 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 or copper and silver, but sometimes other col­ors or patterns are used. You can choose whichever color of wire you want
to be positive and negative as long as you remain consistent throughout
the install.

2) Installing the
Enclosure

Using the 8 provided screws,
attach the two mounting brack­ets to the studs so that they are
facing each other. Once every­thing’s installed, the distance
between the bottom of the sub­woofer and the bottom of the
bracket will be about 49”. So
when you know how far o the
floor the subwoofer should be,
add that number to 49”, and in­stall the brackets at that height.
For example, if you want the
subwoofer to be about a foot
o the floor, install the bottom
of the brackets about 61” (49” +
12”) o the floor.

Insert the ends of the suspen­sion cable into the mounting
brackets. Hang the enclosure
from the suspension cable.
There are several ends on one
side of the suspension cable so
that you can adjust the height
of the enclosure.
