ADDING THE SUBWOOFER TO YOUR SPEAKER SYSTEM

With the subwoofer in the selected lo- cation, measure the distance from it to each speaker, and to your receiver/ amplifier. Then follow these steps to connect the subwoofer.

Notes:

•Use 18-gauge speaker wire for distances up to 25 feet.

•Use 16-gauge speaker wire for distances greater than 25 feet.

•To maximize the bass response, you must connect the receiver/ amplifier’s positive (+) and nega- tive (–) terminals to the sub- woofer’s corresponding positive

(+) and negative (–) terminals.

You can easily do this by using speaker wire that has a stripe or a ridge on one conductor. Your local RadioShack store has a wide selection of speaker wire.

1.Connect the subwoofer’s INPUT terminals to the appropriate left and right speaker terminals on your amplifier.

2.Connect the subwoofer’s OUT- PUT terminals to the correspond- ing left and right stereo speaker.
