Product Overview
T
he SC-600 IF/IC is an affordable in-ceiling or in-floor subwoofer that offers outstanding
performance and value. The SC-600 IF/IC sports a powerful 12” driver and slot-loaded, bass
reflex cabinet enabling maximum performance to reproduce the most demanding home theater
and music with authority, accuracy and low distortion. The SC-600 IF/IC is easy to install
whether it's for new construction or retrofit – four adjustable brackets are included that can be
attached anywhere on the cabinet surface. The SC-600, a rack-mountable amplifier that powers
the SC-600 Series, features 400 watts dynamic / 200 watts RMS power.
The SC-600 IF/IC can be installed in a variety of locations and positions for a given
installation. The SC-600 IF/IC can be used in-floor, in ceiling, or in other applications – all that
is required is a sturdy stud frame to mount to and a way to mount the SC-ICG (In-Ceiling) Grille
or decorative grille. The woofer cabinet is 14” wide so ideally installs with 16” joist spacing.
However, spacer boards can be used to adapt the SC-600 IF/IC to other applications.
This document provides the detailed process for properly installing the SC-600 IF/IC.
The user’s manual for the SC-600 subwoofer amplifier provides the details on
connectivity and proper configuration of the SC-600 IF/IC after installation.
IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT ONLY THE SC-600 AMPLIFIER BE USED WITH THE
SC-600 IF/IC, DUE TO THE SPECIFIC EQ CURVES AND AMPLIFIER CUSTOMIZATION IN
THE SC-600.
A Word About Grilles
The SC-600 IF/IC comes with a per
to protect the driver from debris falling into it in in-floor installation situations. No r
decorative grille is provided – the installer must determine the location of the subwoofer and
what is to be used as a register or other decorative grille to hide the subwoofer enclosure after
the installation is complete.
Velodyne does offer, as an option, a paintable, perforated metal 12” ceiling grille, the SC-ICG.

Installation — Step-By-Step
S
tep 1 -
Determine installation location. As stated above, the SC-600 IF/IC can be mounted virtually
anywhere. The only requirements are that the cabinet fit into the location, and that there be a
proper opening for the sound to be passed into the listening environment.
Step 2 -
Mark installation location. It is useful to place the subwoofer cabinet in its proposed position
and mark the locations of the four brackets that will be used to affix the subwoofer to the
framing. Note that the brackets can be mounted ANYWHERE on the subwoofer cabinet, as
long as the brackets do not interfere with the woofer’s operation. Always use all four brackets
in the installation. It is recommended that the cabinet be positioned flush with the face of the
joists for ease of positioning and installation, but this is not required. Make sure the speaker
minals are facing the direction you intend to run the speaker wire.

etermine and mark grille location. From the centerline of the subwoofer driver, mark off
the dimensions of the grille opening to accommodate the decorative grille chosen for the end
user installation.
Step 4 -
Prepare the installation location. Make whatever modifications are required to enable the
subwoofer to fit in the installation location. Note that the SC-600 IF/IC is designed for joists
on 16” centers. Install spacer studs as required to accommodate this dimension.
Step 5 -
Attach the PSA-sided foam strips to the subwoofer cabinet. MAKE SURE STRIPS ARE USED
ANYWHERE THE CABINET WILL COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE STRUCTURE IN ANY WAY.
The SC-600 IF/IC is a powerful subwoofer and will likely buzz or rattle if not isolated from the
structure using the provided foam strips.

CAUTION: The SC-600 IF/IC is heavy. Either use a partner to suspend the subwoofer while
you are attaching it or use a mechanical device to hold it in place during installation.

omplete installation. Install the decorative grille and perform any other tasks needed to
complete the installation based on chosen woofer positioning. It is recommended to use
caulking to secure the decorative grille to prevent buzzing and rattling.

Step 10 -
Use aggressive bass material and check the subwoofer for buzzes and rattles. These can come
from inadequate use of the foam strips, or there may be sympathetic vibration in the structure
due to the powerful nature of the SC-600 IF/IC. In the latter case, track down the rattle and
secure it with caulking or other similar material.
