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.
