INSTRUCTIONS FOR MANUALLY INSTALLING SPM FILES FOR MODELER APPLICATION:


Locate your Modeler installation path. Typically, this should be something like
	C:\Program Files (x86)\Bose\Bose Modeler 6.11

Go to ...\data\speaker_data\Bose
	you should now see subfolders for the various product series

If no earlier version of the STS118E SPM file has been installed before, 
Copy the STS118E.bmp file into the '\Images' folder.

Copy the STS118E.spm file into the '\Subwoofer' folder.


NOTES FOR USING THE STS118E SPM FILE:

The STS118E SPM file is available in low-impedance only and includes the recommended speaker EQ (35 Hz to 200 Hz bandpass).


As usual, the SPM speaker data is defined for Continuous (LEQ/RMS) SPL. For the STS118E speaker, assuming sufficient peak power is available from the selected amplifier, Peak SPL up to 6 dB higher than RMS SPL can be expected (without considering power compression). As an example, if you want to predict maximum LEQ SPL for a signal with 12 dB crest factor, you need to subtract 12-6 = 6 dB from the predicted SPL or apply equivalent gain-adjustments. For the unclipped transmission of peaks, the chosen amplifier must provide 600 * 4 = 2400 watts of peak power. The RMS output power will then be 600 / 4 = 150 W.
