CARE and MAINTENANCE
Your Impulse 500P Subwoofer is a sturdy and durable product, which will provide years of
reliable use if properly cared for. Use common sense and read the safety warnings to avoid
hazardous operating conditions.
Sunlight/Heat
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this may cause the unit to overheat and
thermally shut off. Excessively hot operating conditions can also cause a thermal shutdown.
Do not store in extremely hot or cold conditions, or extremely high humidity. Always allow unit
to come to room temperature before use.
Cleaning
Never clean the Impulse 500P Subwoofer while plugged in or turned on! When the unit has
been fully disconnected from AC power sources, a slightly damp cloth can remove soil or
other dirt. Never use strong solvents on the Impulse 500P Subwoofer, as they could attack
the polymer that the cabinet is made from. Do not allow ANY fluids to drip inside the Impulse
500P Subwoofer!
Touchup
If the Impulse 500P Subwoofer cabinet should become scratched or abraded, it can be
touched up using a black permanent marker. First, if the area to be touched up is larger than
a short scratch, rub it lightly with an soapless plastic scrub pad. Wipe the scratched or
abraded area a little at a time with the black permanent marker, and immediately wipe away
the surplus with a lint-free cloth. For an overall finish enhancement and protective coating,
use gloves to apply either WD-40
®
or Armour All
®
protectant to the surface of the plastic
cabinet only. Notice that the cabinet will be slippery after these treatments. Rub them down
vigorously with a dry lint-free cloth to minimize this.
Insert Points (maximum depth of insertion)
The insert points on the top and bottom of the cabinet must only be engaged to a depth of
3/8" or less to prevent air leaks if the mounts/bolts are removed later.
Check for Secure Hardware
After a long period of use, check the hardware of the Impulse 500P Subwoofer for tightness,
including the rear panel screws, and the screws that hold the baffle and rear cabinet together.
The unit is subject to a great deal of vibration, and this could cause them to be less than tight
with continued use.
