SETUP

Ampliﬁer Positioning

Placing the subwoofer ampliﬁer can have a large impact on performance and longevity. Please take the following

guidelines into consideration:

• Ensure that the unit is in a well-ventilated area that provides adequate cooling.

Installation

• Attach rack-mount brackets to the ampliﬁer if mounting into rack or attache bottom feet on the ampliﬁer chassis if

placing on a shelf.

ENGLISH

CONNECT

CAUTION: All connections and switching must be done with the subwoofer ampliﬁer turned off. Connect the

power cord last to ensure that the subwoofer ampliﬁer is off during all the connections and set up.

RCA Line Level

Use high-quality RCA cables that feature low impedance with adequate shielding and high-quality connectors.

Speaker Outputs

Use 12 or 16 gauge stranded two-conductor speaker wire. Connect the appropriate conductor to each screw terminal,

observing correct polarity.

CAUTION: When two subwoofers are connected in parallel, the nominal impedance of each subwoofer should not

be less than 8Ω.
