Refer to these guidelines,and also see the owner’s guide forthe SS88IWS subwoofer for moreinformation.It is generally recommended thatyou install your SS88IWS in-wallsubwoofer along the same wallas the front loudspeakers. TheSS88IWS subwoofer is not video-shielded and should not be placednear a video display. Installing theSS88IWS near a corner will tendto maximize low-frequency output.Be cautious when installing in acorner, to avoid a “boomy” sound.Also take into consideration anyunusual features of the room, suchas an alcove, which may tend tocreate a localized node that mayaffect bass response in that areaof the room.It is generally recommended thatthe speaker be installed so that thebottom of the speaker is approxi-mately 12" from the floor. Note thatinstalling the speaker within theSS88IWSBB back box as shown inthe illustration to the left willachieve the recommended height.This is to help with the low-fre-quency loading (bass reinforce-ment). This also helps hide thespeaker in a less visible place.Remember that these are justguidelines. Since every listeningroom is different, JBL strongly rec-ommends experimenting with thepositioning of your subwoofer priorto cutting the wall to obtain themost pleasing results in your room.One technique that can help youfind the ideal subwoofer locationis to temporarily borrow a stand-alone subwoofer and place it nearthe main listening location. Thenmove around the room and deter-mine where you hear the mostpleasing bass performance. Thiswould then be the ideal locationfor the subwoofer.SS88IWSBBPERFORMANCE™SPECIALISTOWNER’S GUIDE®DAMPINGPADSCENTERINGBARS68.00CABINET4.002.4914.00CABINET |
