Connecting to Speaker

Terminals

Connect the amplifier/receiver’s speaker output terminals to the subwoofer’s HIGH LEVEL INPUT terminals. Be sure to connect the terminals in phase, connecting positive (+) to positive and negative (–) to negative. Wiring the subwoofer with + to – causes reduced bass performance. To match the subwoofer’s polarity with your system’s polarity and receive full bass response, slide the PHASE switch to REV or NOM. Choose the setting that provides the greatest bass output.

Connecting Speaker Pins

If you use Megacable or any other high- quality, low-gauge speaker wire, the terminals will be too small to accommodate the wires from both the speaker (left or right) and the subwoofer. You need two pairs of speaker pins (RSU 10458503) to make the connection. Follow these steps to connect the wires to each terminal using speaker pins.

1.Twist together the ends of the wires from the left (or right) speaker’s positive terminal and the amplifier/

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME

1.Rotate the control on the front of the subwoofer to its lowest setting.

2.Turn on your amplifier/receiver and another component (such as a radio, cassette player, CD player, or turntable).

3.Begin playing an audio source (such as a CD) and adjust the amplifier/ speaker’s overall volume to a comfortable level. Rotate the volume
