Wiring Diagrams For Polk/MOMO Custom Enclosed Subwoofers

Please make certain that your amplifier is rated to carry the specified load.

Put It In Your Trunk

Place your Polk/MOMO Custom Enclosed Subwoofer in your trunk or hatchback. Experi­ment to find the best location for your new subwoofer. Subwoofers in trunks or hatchbacks
can fire either forward or backward for best sound. Positioning can make a big difference
in sound quality.

The Bass Master Commands You!

Please inspect each loudspeaker and its enclosure carefully. Notify your Polk Audio dealer
if you notice any damage or missing items. Keep the carton and packing material. They
will do the best job of protecting your speakers if they need to be transported.

Important Information About Warranty & Installation

Your Polk/MOMO Custom Enclosed Subwoofer comes in its own enclosure (thus the
name). Do not take the subwoofer out of its enclosure. This will void the warranty.

Please be aware when handling the enclosure that plexiglass damage—such as scratches
or cracks due to improper installation or misuse—is not covered under the warranty
for this product.

Be careful. Subwoofer enclosures need to be installed in places where they can operate safe­ly and not endanger the occupants of the automobile. Do not install the subwoofer enclo­sure on your car’s rear deck. Do not install your subwoofer enclosure on your front dash­board or in your passenger seat. To get the safest, best performance from your Polk/MOMO
Custom Enclosed Subwoofer, we recommend that you put it in your trunk.

If you have any questions about these issues, please call Polk Audio’s friendly Customer
Service Department. Polk Audio Customer Service is available from 9am—6pm, EST,
Monday through Friday, at 800-377-7655 (US & Canada only), outside the US please
call 410-358-3600.

Connecting Your Polk/MOMO Custom Enclosed Subwoofers

The push terminal connectors are located on the underside of the Custom Enclosure.
Because of this placement, it is best to use a bare wire or pin connection. For a bare wire
connection, strip 1/2 inch (12.7mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors of your
wire to expose the bare metal and twist each of the conductors into a single unfrayed strand
(so you have two unfrayed strands). Note that one of the terminals on the enclosure is red
(+) and the other is black (-). Make certain that you connect the wire from the red (+)
terminal of your amplifier to the red terminal on the enclosure and the wire from the black
(-) terminal of your amplifier to the black terminal on the enclosure. Most wire has some
indicator (such as color-coding, ribbing or writing) on one of the two conductors to help
you maintain consistency. To connect the bare wire to the push terminal, apply pressure to
the terminal and insert the bare wire into the hole near the base and release. Do not insert
the insulated part of the wire into the hole as this will not give you a good connection. Place
the Custom Enclosure right side “up,” making certain that the wire runs through the ‘wire
canal’ on the underside of the enclosure. Be careful not to let the full weight of the enclosure
rest on the wire.

Single 4Ω Wiring Parallel 2Ω Wiring

Two 4Ω speakers will present a 2Ω load.
Make sure that your amplifier is 2Ω stable
when configured in the bridge mode.
Consult your amplifier’s owner’s manual
before wiring in this configuration.
