Mounting screws & washers:

(4) 5/16" x 2" lag screws (for thinner beams)
(4) 5/16" x 3" lag screws (for thicker beams)
(4) 5/16" washers

Bandpass subwoofer can be installed in joists spaced 16" on center or greater.

Determine the location for the mounting platform. Ensure there is adequate room for the BPS6 subwoofer at the location of the platform.
The speaker opening must be located within 12" (305mm) of the BPS6 to allow the port tube to reach through the platform.

Attach the mounting platform to the joists. See mounting platform quickstart guide or visit www.sonance.com/in-wall-in-ceiling/architectural-series for detailed installation manual.

On the end of the BPS6 port tube there is a tether. The tether will be used later to guide the BPS6 port tube through the mounting platform opening.

Position end of port tube as close as possible to back of mounting platform. Loop tether into the anchored zip tie and secure. This process ensures that bandpass connector is easily attached later and other tradespersons won't infringe on port tube assembly area.

Attach the four conductor wires from the amplifier to the input terminals on the end of the BPS6. Positive wires to red terminals and negative wires to black terminals. Run the speakers wires to amplifier location and run signal test with 9V battery. NOTE: Port tube contains foam plug with tether, make sure pressure levels don't expel the foam and tether. Do not connect the voice coils in parallel.
