Amplification: Remember, the passive subwoofers require external amplifiers. Ensure you pair them with appropriate amplifiers to deliver the required power without distortion.
Volume: Start playing audio at a low volume and gradually increase it to the desired levels to avoid sudden surges that could damage the speakers.

Safety Installation Instructions

Power Off: Before starting the installation, make sure all devices connected to the speakers are turned off to prevent electrical shocks or damage.
Choose Stud-Free Locations: Use a stud finder to ensure you’re not trying to mount a speaker where there’s a stud, wiring, or piping behind the wall or ceiling.
Wear Safety Gear: When cutting into walls or ceilings, wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from debris.
Use the Right Tools: Utilize the provided cut-out templates for precise cuts and avoid making larger openings than necessary.
Proper Wiring: Ensure that you’re using the appropriate gauge of speaker wire for the distance and power level. Avoid making wire connections near water sources or high-traffic areas.
Secure Mounting: Once the speaker is connected, use the integrated Wall-Lock Mounting System to securely fasten the speaker. This ensures it doesn’t come loose or create vibrations.
Test Before Sealing: Before sealing up any installation, play sound through the speakers to ensure they’re working correctly.

Maintenance Instructions

Cleaning: Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the speaker grills and frames. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners.
Inspection: Periodically, inspect the mounting and connections to ensure everything remains tight and connected. This is especially crucial in the initial months after installation.
Avoid Overdriving: Consistently pushing the speakers to their maximum volume can lead to wear and potential damage. It’s always best to operate them at a comfortable listening level.
Painting: If you decide to paint the speaker grills and frames, remove them from the wall or ceiling first. Use paint that doesn’t block the grill holes to maintain sound quality.
Optimal Environment: While the speakers are designed for indoor use, avoid exposing them to high moisture areas like bathrooms, as this can degrade components over time.
Professional Help: If you encounter issues with sound quality or connections, it may be best to consult with a professional audio technician or electrician.

Following these guidelines ensures the Acoustic Audio HD725 system delivers optimal performance while maintaining safety and longevity.
