POWER: Two-position power switch. In the “ON”mode, the subwoofers  
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION  
amplifier is automatically activated if an audio signal is present and will automatically  
become inactive when there is no audio signal present after approximately 30  
minutes. In the “OFFmode, power is shut off to the amplifier.  
Carefully unpack your subwoofer, saving the box and all of the packing material; at  
some point you may need to transport, ship, or move your subwoofer. Before  
continuing with the installation, please make sure the subwoofer is unplugged and  
the power switch is turned “OFF.WARNING: Severe damage may result from  
improperly selected voltage. Set voltage selection switch, 10 to the proper AC voltage.  
10  
VOLTAGE SELECTION: User-switchable voltage selection for use with 115 or 230  
volt AC. Attention: All subwoofer models come from the factory preset to  
115 volts. To select a different voltage, use a flat head screwdriver to reposition  
the switch to the desired voltage. WARNING: Severe damage may result from  
improperly selected voltage. Make sure you know the voltage requirement of  
the country you are in before attempting to connect this subwoofer to AC  
power.  
INSTALLATION  
Please read the following to determine which installation procedure is best for your  
audio/video system. For additional hook-up connections, you may want to refer to  
your A/V receiver, processor, preamplifier, or amplifiers manual. NOTE: Be sure to read  
and observe the “Safety Instructionson preceding page before starting the installation.

POWER CORD RECEPTACLE: Connect IEC cord to this receptacle (supplied  
with the V subwoofer). If the cord supplied does not fit an available AC outlet,  
purchase the correct AC cord from your audio dealer or an electrical supply store.  
CONTROL DESCRIPTIONS  
The following controls are located on the subwoofers rear panel, as shown (back cover).  
Attention! The Cerwin-Vega V-10S/12S have LFE, LINE-LEVEL, and SPEAKER-  
LEVEL input connections; choose one option only for hook-up. Do not hook up  
more than one option!  
REPLACEABLE FUSE: Protects system from overload, replace with fuse rating as  
indicated on amplifier panel at fuse location. The fuse holder is located at the AC  
receptacle. Gently pry open to access the fuse.  
1
LFE INPUT: Mono “low frequency effects”connection. Use this input if  
receiver/preamp/processor has a dedicated LFE or subwoofer OUT. Refer to  
the owners manual provided by your receiver/preamp/processor manufacturer.  
(see figure 1, back cover for hook-up)  
PLACEMENT  
Your V Series powered subwoofer produces low frequencies which are omnidirectional.  
As a result, placement requirements for your subwoofer are flexible and subject to your  
listening rooms acoustic characteristics. To determine the best position for your  
subwoofer, start by positioning it along the same wall, or plane, as your main speakers.  
Experiment with various locations until you find the location that sounds best to you.  
Note: Typically, your powered subwoofer will sound louder when placed in close  
proximity to walls or corners.

LINE-LEVEL INPUT: Stereo low level input to subwoofer. Connect to LINE-OUT”,  
“MAIN-OUT or PREAMP-OUT”, of your receiver/preamp/processor using a dual RCA  
patchcord (not supplied). Refer to the owners manual provided by your receiver/  
preamp/processor manufacturer. (see figure 2, back cover for hook-up)  
SPEAKER-LEVEL INPUT: Stereo high-level inputs to subwoofer. Use these terminals  
when line-level connections are not available from A/V receiver/preamp/processor.  
Connect to SPEAKER outputs on receiver using high quality speaker wire (16-gauge  
or heavier). (see figure 3, back cover for hook-up)  
Caution! Cerwin-Vega V-10S and V-12S speakers are intended for FLOOR  
PLACEMENT ONLY! Do not place heavy objects of any type, such as televisions on  
top of any Cerwin-Vega speaker unless otherwise recommended by Cerwin-Vega!  
V Series speakers are for residential applications only.  
SPEAKER-LEVEL OUTPUT: Audio loop of stereo high-level (SPEAKER-LEVEL)  
3
inputs . Use to loop (continue) signal to speaker connections to the left  
and right main speakers.

VOLUME CONTROL: Controls volume level of subwoofer. Use to balance the output  
of the subwoofer with the main speaker output.  
CROSSOVER FREQUENCY: The crossover control allows you to adjust the upper  
limit of the subwoofers frequency response from 40 to 120 Hz. The subwoofers  
response will begin rolling off above the set frequency. Set the CROSSOVER FRE-  
QUENCY to the lower value listed in the main speaker manual.* (Note: Crossover  
control does not function when LFE input is used.)

8
PHASE: This switch allows you to compensate for having the subwoofer  
in a different location than the main speakers. This control allows the signal to be  
delayed 180 degrees so the output of the subwoofer will blend in with the  
main speakers. Slide the PHASE switch to “180”. At the listening position, listen to  
the midbass output. If it sounds weak, set PHASE back to “0.”  
POWER LED: Power indicator lamp. Glows green in “ON”mode if audio signal is  
present. Glows red in both “OFF”mode and “ON ”mode if receiving AC power,  
and if audio signal is not present after approximately 30 minutes.  
* Refer to the owners manual provided by your main speaker manufacturer to  
determine your main speakers low end frequency response.
