NOTE ! Not for bridge mode operation.
MULTIMODE OPERATION
Multimode operation means that you connect one or
two systems in normal stereo mode and then add
one or more subwoofers in mono bridge mode to the
same speaker terminals. A center channel can be
connected in the same way.
To avoid amplifier overload you must ALWAYS use
passive filters in multimode operation. The subwoofer
needs a 12 dB lowpass crossover and the stereo
system needs a 6 or 12 dB highpass crossover.

2.5 BRIDGE MODE OPERATION
Subwoofers are normally connected in mono bridge
mode to the amplifier. This is done by connecting
the speaker + to the amplifiers LEFT+ terminal,
and the speaker - to the amplifiers RIGHT- termi-
nal.
Now the speaker will recieve a signal that is the sum
of the signals from each channel.

SPEAKER LOAD, BRIDGE MODE OPERATION
CAUTION!
In mono bridge mode the
speaker impedance must
never be less than 4 ohms.
The amplifiers sees a 4 ohm speaker
as a 2 ohm load.
