•Whenever possible, keep the power cords away from the signal cables or speaker wires to prevent any hum or interference being heard in the speakers.
•Choose reliable, high quality inter- connect cables, also called patch cords or RCA cables. They should be fully shielded and as short as possible for the job. The longest cable in your system will likely be to the subwoofer, so choose a good quality brand.
•Some patch cords can be a very tight fit and there is usually a preferred method of getting them off. Some have to be removed with a twisting action. Be gentle or you may damage the jacks of the subwoofer amplifier or your other components.

Sub Amplifier
•This diagram shows all the low power components sharing a power strip which is connected to the same outlet used by your main amplifier.
•The subwoofer amplifier is con- nected to an outlet on the same circuit breaker, provided that the total system current draw does not exceed the breaker current rating.
•This arrangement will reduce the possibility of an audible hum in your system caused by a ground loop.
Speaker Level connections
•The subwoofer’s speaker level inputs can accept speaker wires with banana,
Make sure that the negative
speaker wires never touch the posi- tive wires as this will short out and possibly damage your amplifier.
