Caut
ion!
The VA-X Series Subwoofer amplifier is built into the subwoofer cabinet. Do not
pl
ace the cabinet next
to
sources
of
heat such as furnace registers,
etc.
The
power
cord should
be
routed in such a way that it will not be walked on, pinched,
or
compressed.
Rega
rdless of where you install your VA-X Sub
woo
fer, it
must
remain
in an up
ri
ght position (passi

The VA-X Subwoo fer's drive
