Set the woofer inside its molded area on the cabinet front, making sure the woofer is seated into the molded area. This will make the woofer-centered
While holding the woofer in the mold inside the cabinet, it may be good to check the front/surround alignment before reinstalling the woofer bracket.
Once the woofer is seated snugly in the mold place the bracket across the woofer and screw the 4 bracket screws in 1 on one end at a time and on opposite sides from the last.
Next Carefully replace the crossover to its original position and add both of its screws. Be careful not to screw too tight, you may damage the crossover. Next, reinstall the white cabinet foam.
