Speaker Level Connections

•  The subwoofer's Speaker Level Inputs can accept 
speaker stripped speaker wires only. 

•  Make sure that the negative speaker wires never 
touch the positive wires as this will short out and 
possibly damage your amplifier or receiver.

•  This diagram shows all the low power components 
sharing a power strip which is connected to the same 
outlet used by the amplifier.

•  The subwoofer is connected 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.

•  Whenever possible, keep the power cords away 
from the signal cable or speaker wires to prevent any 
hum or inference being heard in speakers.
