Using a single sub-bass system, connect as shown above. Connect RED to right monoblock speaker positive (red) terminal, connect YELLOW to left monoblock speaker positive (red) terminal. The BLACK should be connected to ground at the pre amplifier. If the pre amplifier does not have a dedicated ground terminal, then use one of the chassis screws at the rear of the pre amplifier.

NOTE: MAKE SURE THAT ANY CHASSIS SCREW THAT IS CHOSEN IS NOT CAPTURED ON THE INSIDE WITH A NUT AS THE NUT COULD DROP INSIDE THE UNIT.
