OWNER’S MANUAL
IWS10
Passive In-Wall Sub
Proficient’s IWS10 In-Wall Subwoofer is designed to maximize the
listening experience in a home theater or distributed audio system.
Reading this manual will help you understand the importance of
placement and crossover calibration, that the optimal balance of
volume, frequency response and dispersion can be achieved.
Placing the IWS10 within 3 feet of a corner in the room will result
in increased bass output at frequencies that may be desirable
for home theater use. Placement beyond that point will result in
smoother, more even bass performance, which is more suitable
for music. Ultimately, the best placement of the IWS10 subwoofer
is one that allows it to produce a neutral, uncolored sound.
The IWS10 is conservatively rated at 250 watts of power handling,
the frequency response 36Hz to 150Hz. (A 250-watt amplifier with
installer-adjustable crossover is coming from Proficient; dealers
will receive product information as it’s made available.)
It’s important that a quality amplifier-crossover combination be
used for precise detail and a smooth transition from the low fre-
quencies of the other speakers down into the sub-bass range. As
a Proficient installer, you’ll be able to preset the crossover for just
the right pass point.
When connecting the IWS10 to the LFE or subwoofer out of an
A/V receiver, follow the receiver manufacturer’s instructions for
crossover adjustment. The size of the woofers in the system’s front
left and right speakers will dictate the choice of the best cross-
over point in the receiver. The larger the woofers, the lower the
adjustment. When making the adjustment, it’s best to listen either
to music you’re familiar with or the test tones from the receiver.
However, in some receivers the selection of certain surround
modes automatically switches the crossover to a default point.

Installation of the IWS10 into New Construction applications requires the use of Proficient’s BB-IWS10 MDF Back Box. Please refer to the
instructions included with the BB-IWS10 for further details.
INSTALLATION – NEW CONSTRUCTION / UNFINISHED WALLS
Please refer to Diagram 1 for a quick installation overview, which will be
described below:
1. CUTTING THE DRYWALL
Find the studs in the wall using a good stud finder. Locate the exact
center between the studs by drilling a small hole as close to center as
can be determined. Using a stiff wire (a coat hanger works well) bent to
90˚ feel for both studs through the hole. By turning the wire around you
should be able to determine the middle location between the studs.
Once the center has been determined, use the cut-out template
supplied with the IWS10 to mark and cut out the hole in the drywall.
2. WIRING
Connect the speaker wire to the IWS10, be sure to connect the positive
wire to the terminal marked (+) and the negative wire to the terminal
marked (–). Note: Make sure the binding posts (wire connectors) are
tightened firmly or they may rattle. The other end of the wire should
be connected in the same manner to your amplifier’s inputs marked
“SUBWOOFER OUT”. Make sure that the amplifier is unplugged when
connecting any wires or cables to it.
3. MOUNTING THE IWS10
The IWS10 and its attached baffle have been specifically designed to
mount to the drywall. Place the sub into the drywall cut-out and posi-
tion it. As you tighten the screws, the mounting feet turn and clamp
the baffle to the drywall. See Diagram 2. CAUTION: Be careful not to
overtighten the screws or the baffle will warp, and the mounting
feet may break off.
Once the baffle is in place, you can gently push the grille into the slot
on the baffle. Due to the nature of the system, the grille is designed to
fit very tightly.
INSTALLATION – FINISHED WALLS
The IWS10 In-Wall Subwoofer is designed to function trouble-free. Most problems occur because of operating errors. If you have a
problem, please check the troubleshooting list first. If the problem persists, contact Tech Support at 800.448.0876 or e-mail us at

A hum or buzzing sound is heard.
The sound may be caused by a ground loop in the system.
Try to eliminate this by reversing the AC plugs of other com-
ponents in the system.
Try plugging the amplifier into another outlet.
Other causes may include faulty cables.
No sound is heard.
Audio cable to the amplifier is not connected properly or the
cable is bad. Use another cable that you know is good.
Check all speaker wire connections and plugs.
Volume Limit on amp may be set too low.
