DaytonAudio VS8 Manual del usuario
Thank you for purchasing the Dayton Audio
compact design, various mounting possibilities, and multiple wiring configurations make
it a perfect addition to any stereo, home theater or even car audio system. It features a
complex flared port bass reflex design and an 8" long-throw woofer providing a surprising
amount of bass from such a compact subwoofer. This low-profile subwoofer is finished in
a contemporary aluminum look vinyl wrap that will complement any décor.
The omni-directional nature of low frequency and the compact low-profile design of this
subwoofer allow countless mounting options:
• IN-WALL – For a truly stealth installation this subwoofer fits between studs and was
purposely designed for easy in-wall installation. Dayton Audio VS8IG in-wall mounting
kit (sold separately) is required.
• ON-WALL – This subwoofer can be mounted low on the wall with optional wall mounting
system (sold separately) even behind furniture.
• DOWN FIRING – Under cabinet, under couch, on top of armoire, or on the entertainment
center as a TV stand are all possible. Four rubber feet are included for down-firing
installations to elevate the subwoofer and protect the surfaces. If coupling to the floor is
desired, Dayton Audio speaker spikes can be used instead (sold separately).
• UP-FIRING – Want it to be hidden (aka: WAF)? Simply slide it under a chair, armoire,
table or couch*.
The 4-pads are to be placed on the rear of the speaker when the subwoofer is placed
on its back (firing up) or for on-wall applications. These pads reduce vibration, and offer
protection between sub and surface.
*Placing the subwoofer under or behind furniture will have no adverse effects
What's in the box
• 8" Universal Low-Profile Subwoofer
• 4 rubber cabinet feet with hardware
• 4 self-adhesive foam pads
Room placement
This subwoofer's small size and versatility in mounting allow placement just about anywhere
in the room. Use two or more subwoofers to maximize the low frequency effects from your
favorite programs. Mounting the subwoofers closer to the corners (aka: corner loading) will
provide even more bass from these exquisitely designed speakers. For on-wall or in-wall*
installation, orient the subwoofer with the port below the driver and mount the subwoofer
low on the wall. Placing the subwoofer under furniture, behind cabinetry, or even behind
seating will result in no adverse affects to the sound quality.
Powering the VS8 subwoofer
For best results, the VS8 should be
used with a dedicated subwoofer
amplifier with 6-10dB of bass
boost at 40Hz. The Dayton Audio
SA230 Subwoofer Amplifier (sold
separately) was purposely built
to be used with the VS8 and is
preset at the factory to 9dB boost
@ 40Hz. Up to two VS8 (wired for
8 ohm operation) can be used per
SA230 subwoofer amplifier.

Connecting the speaker
Note: Two sets of input terminals are provided to offer versatility in wiring configuration.
Please refer to your amplifier manual for minimum allowable impedance before proceeding.
8 ohm single-channel operation:
The subwoofer is factory
wired for 8 ohm single channel
operation. The pre-installed
jumper wire connects the
negative (-) terminal of one
voice coil to the positive (+)
terminal of the second voice
coil resulting in a series
load of 8 ohms. Connect the
amplifier's positive (+) output
to the unused red terminal
and the amplifier's negative
(-) output to the unused black
terminal.
2 ohm single channel operation:
The subwoofer can be
c o n f i g u r e d fo r 2 o h m
operation. Remove the pre-
installed jumper wire from
the terminals and connect
between the two positive (+)
terminals. Make a second
jumper wire and connect
between the two negative
(-) terminals. This will result
in a parallel load of 2 ohms.
Connect the amplifier's
positive (+) output to one
of the red terminals and
the amplifier's negative (-)
output to one of the black
terminals.
4 ohm two channel operation:
T h e s u b wo o fe r c a n b e
configured for dual 4 ohm
operation. Simply remove
the jumper wire from the
subwoofer. This will result in
two individual loads of 4 ohms.
Connect the positive (+) and
negative (-) leads from one
amplifier channel to the red
and black terminals in one
terminal cup. Repeat for the
second amplifier channel to
the other terminal cup.
