Packing List
Installation
Deck Mount
- Determine where you want to locate the subwoofer.
- Measure the center-to-center distance between the key-hole slots and install two mounting screws into the deck, leaving 1/4″ of the screw exposed above the surface.(Diagram 1)
- Place the subwoofer onto the pan head screws and rotate clockwise to lock into position over the key-hole slots.(Diagram 1)
Garden Placement
You may locate the FORZA 10 anywhere you can run speaker wire. If you place your subwoofer in a garden bed, on grass, mulch or upon the soft ground we recommend you place it on a paper or other hard surface and remove all gravel and debris prior to installation. This will prevent plants, weeds, and dirt from building up under the speaker that may cause damage or loss in performance.
NOTE
For anti-theft security and permanent placement the FORZA 10 has a built-in
eye-bolt that enables you to anchor it’s location. (Diagram 2)
