IMPORTANT: Save Your Boxes! If you can do so, save the carton, packing pieces and plastic bags that came with your subwoofer. They will be useful in case you move or have to ship your sub- woofer for any reason. In any case, save all packing materials until you are certain that the system has suffered no damage in ship- ment. If you find such damage, either visible or internal, contact your dealer immediately for the proper return procedure.
