SM8SUB70. Whenever the loudspeaker is mounted to a surface using the optional
“C” bracket the installer must ensure that the surface is capable of safely and
securely supporting the load. The hardware employed must be safely and securely
attached both to the loudspeaker and the surface in question, using only the mount-
ingholes.Ifyouareunsureoftheintegrityofthemountingsurfacepleaseseek
assistance from architects, structural engineers, or other specialists.
