AMPLIFIER REQUIREMENTS & WIRING
The SW10JM is a passive (non-powered) subwoofer and must be used with a power amplifier. We
strongly recommend the Niles SWA-500 subwoofer amplifier. Use with any other amplifiers could
result in less than optimal performance.

We recommend 16 AWG 2-conductor speaker wire for runs up to 60 feet, with heavier high quality
speaker wire used for longer runs. When permanently installing wire inside walls, be sure to use
cable that is rated for in-wall use and has special jacketing for fire prevention. The wires should be
run in accordance with National Electrical Code and any applicable local building codes.
