Product Overview

T

he SC-IF/IC (In-Floor/In-Ceiling) is the first floor/ceiling sub to deliver true reference quality
performance. The SC-IF/IC sports a powerful 12” driver and expanded sealed cabinet enabling
maximum performance to reproduce the most demanding home theater and music with
authority, accuracy and low distortion. The SC-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-1250, a rack-mountable amplifier that powers the SC Series,
features 3000 watts dynamic / 1250 watts RMS power and can easily drive twin SC-IF/IC
subs using standard speaker wire.

The SC-IF/IC can be installed in a variety of locations and positions for a given
installation. The SC-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 a 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 IF/IC to any application.

This document provides the detailed process for properly installing the SC-IF/IC. The
user’s manual for the SC-1250 subwoofer amplifier provides the details on connectivity
and proper configuration of the SC-IF/IC after installation. Note that two SC-IF/IC
subwoofers can be driven with a single SC-1250 amplifier. IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
THAT ONLY THE SC-1250 AMPLIFIER BE USED WITH THE SC-IF/IC.

Installation — Step-By-Step

Step 1 -

Determine installation location. As stated above, the SC-IF/IC can be mounted virtually
anywhere. The only requirements are that the cabinet fit into the location, and that there be
proper venting for the audio 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 r
