IWTS-8 SUB Woofer Module
For use with Atlantic Technology SA 350 Mono or
SA 700 Dual Mono Subwoofer Amplifier Only
Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT NOTE: The 8 SUB woofer module must be used only with
its matching Atlantic Technology amplifier (SA 350 or SA 700). The 8 SUB
woofer module also must be installed and used only within its dedicated
in-wall enclosure (IN-BOX-8 SUB).
Please take a few moments to read these instructions. They're intended
not only to tell you how to mount the speakers, but how to get the best
performance from them. We always recommend a professional be involved
in the installation of InWall Theater System speakers, if at all possible.
Important Considerations
Before Installation
Mounting and Vibration Concerns The 8 SUB module is designed
to mount into its dedicated in-wall enclosure which must be mounted
into the wall before the sheet rock is applied. The 8 SUB module re-
quires 5/8 inch or thicker sheet rock to mount properly. The most criti-

cal aspect of installing the woofer module is to ensure that there are no
air leaks around the unit and that the speaker wires behind the assem-
bly can't vibrate against any internal part of the assembly. Take your
time when installing the foam gaskets and the module and also use
great care when attaching and locating the wires while you are mount-
ing the module in the enclosure.
Recommended Wire Sizes The amplifiers that accompany the 8
SUB module are very powerful. In addition it is quite likely that there
will be a significant distance between the amplifier and the woofers,
necessitating long wire runs. And the longer the wire run, the heavier
the wire should be. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you use high
quality speaker wire between the subwoofer amplifier and the 8 SUB
module. Please use at least 16 gauge for lengths up to 30 feet. Beyond 30
feet please use larger wire; 14 gauge up to 60 feet, 12 gauge up to 100
feet.) Remember that the wire increases in size as the gauge number
decreases. If you're in doubt, remember that it never hurts to get the
next heavier grade of wire.
