Introduction Simply put, the THOR is the only in-wall subwoofer that sufficiently provides bass to your home theater system. The THOR remains stable and maintains next to zero resonance because the user can bolt the THOR directly to the studs from the front of the unit. This locks the THOR into the structure of the home. Earthquake engineers also added four dog ear fasteners for added sheet rock support. There are two inches peak-to-peak out of a standard 16” stud gap.
Safety Instructions (continued) Connection Tips 12) Use only a compatible rack or cart for the final resting position. • Keep all power cords away from all signal cables to prevent humming from induced noise. 13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storm or when unused for a long period of time. 14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Installing Your THOR STEP#1 STEP#3 Note: These pieces are sheet rock stabilizers, not brackets. To begin you will need to locate the empty grille frame. Use your stud finder to locate the studs (if you’re not retrofitting). Using the empty frame, trace your cut line with a pencil. Once you are satisfied with your cut line, begin your cut using the sheet rock saw. In the first image furthest to the left you’ll notice the fastener in it’s neutral position– this is how it is packed.
Assembling the Custom Grille STEP#5 STEP#1 Cut your desired cloth two inches bigger than the frame on all sides. We have provided cloth that can be used, but feel free to use different colors or textures. This procedure is extremely important: Tighten the dogears by fastening the screws which are located at the top of the active driver and the bottom of the passive driver. If you forget to do this the sheet rock will not be secured and the fasteners will be loose and will rattle.
Assembling the Custom Grille (continued) STEP#4 STEP#8 Wrap cloth around frame and put into place with provided security ring. This is what the inside of your grille should look like. Pouring a quick drying glue over the ring and in the space around where the cloth is will add more support and provide a hard shell. STEP#5 STEP#9 Once you have the cloth in place with security ring push the ring enough to keep in place, though the groove with cloth underneath.
