From the local volume control the four conductor cable is run to the CM8SW and connected to the Input connectors. A two conductor wire is connected to each of the stereo outputs and fed to the left and right speakers. Now, the volume control will raise and lower the volume for the sub- woofer and the left and right speakers simultaneously. Additionally, the crossover is now connected so that the crossover switches can be adjusted.
