1 THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING WET SOUNDS! Congratulations! Thank You for purchasing the Wet Sounds STEALTH Series powered subwoofer system. Wet Sounds professional marine audio products represent the ultimate in high performance marine audio. Wet Sounds products are specifically engineered to withstand the rigorous marine environment. The STEALTH series powered subwoofer enclosures bring Wet Sounds performance technology to the harsh marine and off-road environment in a complete, all in one package.
2 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT! BEFORE MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY POWER UNTIL THE INSTALLATION IS COMPLETED TO AVOID POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. INSTALLATION Mounting Find the proper spot in your vehicle to mount the subwoofer enclosure. The enclosure should be mounted securely to a flat surface using the supplied hardware. For the ST AS-10, the mounting holes are integrated into the enclosure.
INSTALLATION / REMOTE LEVEL CONTROL 3 Route the Blue Remote Turn On Wire (4) to a location where it can connect to the Remote Turn On Output from the source unit. If using the latest Wet Sounds Stealth Sound Bar, this will be a blue wire. On a traditional head unit, this wire is often labeled “power antenna remote”. It should be a wire that supplies +12V when the source unit is powered on and returns to 0V when the source unit is powered off.
4 AMPLIFIER ADJUSTMENTS AMPLIFIER ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE ST SERIES SUBS 1 - AUTO TURN ON SWITCH The “REM” setting is the most reliable way to turn the ST series subwoofer on and off, but if the source unit does not have a Remote Output wire then either the “AUDIO” or “DC OFFSET” setting can be used. Not all source units are the same, so three different turn on options are provided.
AMPLIFIER ADJUSTMENTS (CONTINUED) 5 “AUDIO” Setting senses a music signal to turn on the amplifier built in to the ST series subwoofer. This setting is recommended for earlier model Wet Sounds Stealth Sound Bars. Please note – if the source unit is powered ON, but at “0” volume, the ST series subwoofer will likely not turn on until the volume is increased. 2 - The Gain adjustment controls the sensitivity of the amplifier built in to the ST series subwoofer.
6 ADJUSTMENTS / SPECIFICATIONS 5 - The Phase Control can be used to adjust the output of the subwoofer depending on location. This adjustment can be made by ear to determine which setting is preferred. After all the above setting are complete, THE WATERPROOF COVER SHOULD BE REATTACHED AND LEFT IN PLACE. These settings should not require changing under normal use and should be considered “set and leave” controls.
