How to Connect a Two Way System

1.Press the connector ends of the supplied Woofer/ Midrange Red/Black cables onto the matching Woofer/ Midrange connecting lugs.

2.Attach the other ends of the two Red/Black Woofer/ Midrange cables to the Crossover Network WOOFER OUTPUT Terminals. The Black wire connects to a MI- NUS (-) Terminal and the Red wire to a PLUS (+) Ter- minal.

3.Attach the connector ends of the supplied Red/Black Tweeter Cables to the Tweeter Leads with connectors, matching the color of the cables.

4.Attach the other ends of the two Red/Black Tweeter Cables to the Crossover Network Tweeter Terminals.

The Black wire connects to a MINUS (-) Terminal and the Red wire to the (0) POSITIVE Terminal.

Note: There are two additional Tweeter Positive Terminal Connections (-3dB and -6dB) that allow for a reduction in High Frequency Output to match the Sound System Environment. Connect the Tweeter Positive (Red) Cable to the -3dB or -6dB Positive Tweeter Output Terminal that produces the preferred sound.

5.Connect the MINUS (-) OUTPUT of a McIntosh Power Amplifier to the Crossover Network MINUS INPUT Terminal and the PLUS (+) OUTPUT to the Crossover Network PLUS (+) INPUT Terminal.
