Parallel Mono

The Sunfire Amplifier can be connected in Parallel Mono to create an immensely powerful system. You will need one amplifier for each speaker, unless you are driving a single subwoofer for example.

Using insulated speaker wire, join the amplifier’s right and left positive current source outputs together.

Using insulated speaker wire, join the amplifier’s right and left negative current source outputs together.

Connect your speaker to the current source outputs as shown. Your speaker will receive the combined power of both amplifier channels.

Never use the voltage source outputs for Parallel Mono, as this will may cause overheating, distortion and shutdown.

Connect your preamplifier’s right output to one of the amplifier’s right input jacks.

Connect the amplifier’s unused right input to the left input with a short patch cord.

Alternatively, you can use a “Y” cable to split the preamp output into two, one to feed the left input and one to feed the right input.

The left speaker connects to your second amplifier in exactly the same way as shown. The left preamp output connects to the right input jack of the second amplifier.
