Installation and Enclosures Installation and Enclosures It is recommended that a qualified professional install all McIntosh Automotive Products. McIntosh Subwoofers are designed to operate in the bass frequency range below 120Hz and should be used in conjunction with McIntosh Component Loudspeaker combinations to reproduce the full audio frequency range.
