Connecting the Speakers

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

Turn off your amp before making any connections.

The nominal impedance of these speakers is 8 . Use only an amp that supports this impedance.

Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–) termi- nals. If the speakers are wired incorrectly, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

Connecting the Subwoofer

Using the supplied RCA cable, connect

 

the subwoofer’s LINE INPUT to your amp’s
