Plugging Your Subwoofer Directly into an AC Wall Outlet Renders Your Entire Home Theater Vulnerable to Power Surges
Your subwoofer is probably placed too far away from your main system to plug into a surge plug strip. Why use another plug strip just for a subwoofer when you can just plug into a nearby wall outlet, right? Well, consider this. If a power surge strikes and your subwoofer is unprotected, it may cause some serious damage not only to the sub, but your entire home theater. The surge can also travel unimpeded from the subwoofer to your other home theater components, via their interconnect cables.

The Dual Mode Plus™ audible alarm then beeps to instantly let you know your PowerCenter has sacrificed its life to protect your equipment.
