Jensen 5500 Speaker Wiring, Four Speakers and Subwoofer, Two Speakers and Two Subwoofers

Speaker Wiring

The Speaker Wiring diagrams illustrate options for connecting four speakers and one subwoofer or two speakers and two subwoofers, or two speakers and one subwoofer. Observe the proper speaker polarity.

NOTE: Power amplifiers can drive speakers with a nominal impedance range of 2~ 4-ohms. For maximum power, configure your speakers for a nominal 2-ohm load. Bridged amplifier channels can only drive 4 ohm minimum impedance speakers.

NOTE: Do not overlook the use of the proper gauge speaker wire. The Power series of amplifiers require a minimum of 12-gauge wire.
