This filter will give you greater dynamic range, lower distortion, and an increased maximum output level. If you have any questions about using them, please contact your dealer or M&K.

For wiring, see the BMC-Mini owner's manual.

USING SPEAKER WIRE CONNECTIONS

Some 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).
