Wire Recommendation

You will need a wire that has at least two conductors; one that can be identified as the positive and the other as the negative. All two conductor wires have some means of identifying which conductor is which, but at times this identification may be subtle. It’s crucial that you keep track of which wire you use for positive (+) and negative (-). Typically if the wires are colored red and black, the red wire is used for positive and the black wire is used for negative, but sometimes other colors or patterns are used. You can choose whichever color of wire you want to be positive and negative as long as you remain consistent throughout the install.

Choosing the Installation Location

The location of your subwoofer(s) will have a large impact on sound quality. For best results, install the subwoofer so the bottom is close to the ground and in either corner in the front of the room. If you’re installing two subwoofers in the room, the best option is one in each corner in the front.

Choosing the Amplifier

This subwoofer has been designed to work with an Origin Subwoofer amplifier, either the SubA150 or the SubA500.

CSUB10REX: Installation

Installing the Wire

Strip ¼ to ½ inches (6 to 12 mm) of the insulation off both ends of the wire. To avoid stray strands, twist them at the end.

Connect both wires to the amplifier.

Plan how you’ll route the wire to the desired speaker location. There are several methods for routing the wire and you may need to combine several of them.

Under the Carpet:

One option is to lift up the carpet and use tape wire to route the wire under the carpet.

Behind the Baseboard:

The wire can be routed behind the baseboard by cutting a groove out of the back of thebaseboard, or by buying special baseboard designed for concealing wires.

Through an Attic, Crawlspace or Basement:

When available you can route the wire through an attic or crawlspace.

Through walls:

When running wires through a wall be sure to avoid all obstacles such as AC wiring, pipes, and ducts.djusting as needed.

Cutting The Hole

When you’ve decided on the subwoofer’s location, use the template to trace a rectangle lightly in pencil where the hole should be. If you’re unsure on whether there may be obstacles (such as pipes or wires) where you plan on installing the speaker, drill a ⅛ inch hole in the center of the rectangle, then put a bent coat hanger through the hole to feel around. If there are no obstacles, use a keyhole or drywall saw to cut the hole.

Insert the Enclosure

Hold the enclosure in front of and slightly below the hole. Insert the top of the enclosure and slide it up. Push the bottom into the hole, and slide the enclosure down until the lip is resting on the bottom of the hole. If the internal wall depth is greater than 3½” you will need to place some foam rubber behind the enclosure to assure it won’t fall back into the wall. The CSUB10R subwoofer depends on the lip resting on the bottom of the square hole until the bezel is attached.

Attach the Bezel

Only one side of the bezel will nest onto the lip that is holding the enclosure in place. Once the bezel is positioned properly, screw it in place four screws and the supplied hex wrench. Make sure the screws are snug but use care to not overtighten.

Silicone Sealant:

In all applications where moisture is a concern, care should be taken to completely seal the subwoofer to the installation surface (Outer Border ‘A’). It is strongly recommended that a liberal bead of marine grade silicone sealant be applied in this area. This will improve weather resistance and also assure that mechanical vibrations, like those common in watercraft, will not dislodge the loudspeaker.

Mounting the Grille

Line up the pegs on the grille with the peg holes on the front of the bezel and push the grille into place.

Troubleshooting

If you have a problem, try isolating it first. For example, if you’re playing a DVD and there is no sound, try replacing the DVD with an MP3 player to see if you get sound. If it does work, then the problem is with the television, DVD player, or the cables connecting them. If it doesn’t work, the problem will be with the amplifier, speakers, or those cables.
