(FAQ) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS How do I clean my speakers and subwoofer? Just use a dust free cloth or a soft brush to remove the dust from your speakers.

We recommend an amplifier with 50 watts per channel for most applications. Probably less would be adequate when used in home theater where a subwoofer is e

Yes, or before. It's a good idea to disconnect all of your audio/video components during stormy weather.
