Export Sonic Immersion System Dealer Installation Guide Installing the Sub Woofer Compartment The installation of the sub woofer compartment consists of removing the panel, removing the paper cover, exposing the plug, removing the plug, and installing the sub woofer compartment. 1. If you have a spa with wood siding you may skip to Step 2. If your spa has EnviroTect siding you will need to remove the white foam sheeting, Figure 4. Figure 4. Removing EnviroTect Sheeting 2.
Export Sonic Immersion System Dealer Installation Guide The photograph Figure 5 may not look like your spa, refer to Table 4. Note 1. Sub-Woofer Plug Figure 6. Sub-Woofer Plug 3. Once the plug is exposed, Figure 6, use a screwdriver to punch holes in the foam large enough to insert your hands and pull the plug out of the spa, Figure 7. The plug may not come out in one piece.
Export Sonic Immersion System Dealer Installation Guide 4. 5. Figure 7. Removing Plug Use a medium size pair of needle nose pliers to remove the large staples in the bottom rail where the plug was removed. Remove all remnants of the plastic bag inside the compartment where the plug was removed. This will expose the electrical conduit, Figure 8. The electrical conduit may not always be in this location. It will vary from spa to spa.
Export Sonic Immersion System Dealer Installation Guide 1. Electrical Conduit Before Trimming Figure 8. Electrical Conduit 6. Using a non-ratcheting PVC pipe cutter, trim the electrical conduit flush with the foam wall, Figure 9. 1. Electrical Conduit After Trimming Figure 9.
Export Sonic Immersion System Dealer Installation Guide 7. Locate the sub woofer sub assembly (P/N 01564-09). Locate the spot on the compartment that matches the location of the conduit in the spa. Using a1½ inch (3.8 cm) hole saw, drill a hole for the conduit, Figure 10. Figure 10. Drilling Hole for Cables 8. Try to place the sub woofer compartment into the space where the plug was removed. It must fit flush with the bottom edge of the frame, Figure 11.
