- Speaker cabinets cannot be replaced please handle with care.
AV & Stereo Amplifiers

- Turn off the amplifier before swoping out or adding speaker cable
- Amplifiers generate heat, place them in a well ventilated space. if possible avoid having anything on top of the unit.

- Dusty environments can sometimes lead to accumulation of dust in the electronic components that might affect heat regulation
