Automotive audio equipment installations can be troublesome at times, even to
the

most experienced of installation technicians. If you are not confident working

with

12 Volt DC electrical wiring, removing and reinstalling interior panels,
carpeting, dashboards, or other components of your vehicle. Please call our toll
free help line [phone] and our in-house technical service team will answer

Most car stereos do not have enough power to drive separate subwoofers. If your
mobile auto audio system does not have a separate amplifier installed, you will
most likely need to install one.

Before permanently installing the MSW100 Subwoofer in your car, connect the
wires to the subwoofer according to your audio system’s installation manual in the
approximate location of the final location. If you are satisfied with the location,
proceed with the permanent installation.

Recommendations for Positioning the MSW100 in Your Vehicle:

Cars: Hatch Back or Trunk
SUVs: & Mini Vans: Cargo Area
Pick-Up Trucks: Behind Front Seat

All auto audio components must be securely mounted. Driving styles
and road conditions such as sudden stops, sharp curves, and bumpy
roads may cause unsecured items to move about the vehicle, causing
physical injuries to vehicle occupants and/or vehicle damage.

The MSW100 is designed to give you optimum bass performance when installed in
a sealed speaker enclosure.

Before installing in an enclosure, use the template enclosed with the MSW100
as a guide to mark the enclosure for pilot holes. When you have marked the pilot
hole positions, drill them with a bit that is smaller than the screws you will use to
secure the speaker to the enclosure.

If you are building your own sealed
box enclosure, it should have a
volume of 1.5 to 2.0 cubic feet,
and be made with a minimum of
5/8" thick particle board or M.D.F..
Make sure that you screw and
glue it together for a proper seal,
caulk all seams, and joints with
silicone rubber caulking. The inner
walls of the enclosure should be
covered with a sound absorbing
material. Maintain polarity of the
amplifier and speaker for proper
phase alignment. This insures the
MSW100 operates at maximum
efficiency.

battery are corroded, clean them; then check the sound. If the sound system is still making
noises, check battery strength. If it is low, recharge or replace the battery.
