STANDARD AMPLIFIER/SPEAKER WIRE CONNECTIONS

Many M&K subwoofer owners hook up their Subwoofer by connecting it to their receiver or amplifier using speaker wires. To do so, you make the same kind of connections that you would use for your Satellite (or main) speakers, except that both the left and right channels go to the Subwoofer. (If you are using two Subwoofers, connect one channel only to each Subwoofer).

NOTE: You cannot connect the MX-125 Mk II using speaker wires. If you have to connect an MX-125 Mk II to an amplifier or receiver does not have RCA outputs, please contact your dealer or the M&K factory. We offer an optional RM-2 High Level to Low Level convertor with Remote Volume Control, which will allow you to drive the MX-125 Mk II with speaker-level amplifier outputs.

1.Run speaker wire between the Amplifier's Left channel output terminals and the Subwoofer's Left channel "FROM AMPLIFIER" terminals.

a.Connect the Amplifier's Left channel Positive (+) terminal and the Subwoofer's Left RED (+) "FROM AMPLIFIER" terminal.

b.Connect the Amplifier's Left channel Negative ( — ) terminal and the Subwoofer's Left BLACK ( — ) "FROM AMPLIFIER" terminal.

2.Make matching connections for the Right channel. See Figure 1.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR DOLBY SURROUND SOUND SYSTEMS:

When the Subwoofer is connected to the Left and Right amplifier outputs, and the controller is in Pro-Logic mode, the Center channel WIDE/NORMAL switch MUST be set to the NORMAL mode. If the switch is set to the WIDE mode, the bass content of the Center channel will not be fed to the Subwoofer, and a significant amount of bass in the program material will not be reproduced.
