bass, extending the response of the entire system so the bass
can be felt as well as heard. However, overall balance must
be maintained or the music will not sound natural. An experienced
listener will set the volume of the subwoofer so its impact on
bass response is always there but never obtrusive.
SERVICE NOTE
Access to woofer:
1) Carefully pry metal grille out of its recess with a sharp pointed
instrument such as an awl or dental pick – USE CAUTION and
protect the surface of the subwoofer from scratches or dents from
the work tool. Work evenly around the perimeter until the grill w/
gasket can be removed.
2) Remove the (6) Phillips screws holding the trim ring to the cabinet.
