6 1/2-Inch Dual Voice-  (400-1373)     Connections     Faxback Doc. # 16103
Coil Subwoofer

The subwoofer's dual-wound coils have two sets of terminals so you can
connect:

    One subwoofer to both left and right stereo amplifier channels

    Two subwoofers, one to each stereo amplifier channel

    One subwoofer to a monaural amplifier

For maximum bass response and the best overall performance, connect the
wires between the subwoofer and amplifier according to the proper polarity
(+ to +, and - to -).  Reversed polarity results in a muffled sound.

You can use coded wire to help you easily make the proper connections.  One
side of each pair of coded wires is marked with a stripe or groove.  The
insulation in some wires is clear, and the separated conductors are
different colors, generally silver and gold.  Use the striped or grooved
wire, or the gold colored conductor, to connect the positive (+) terminals.

NOTE:  Your local Radio Shack store has a wide selection of wire.

CONNECTING ONE SUBWOOFER TO A STEREO AMPLIFIER

Follow these steps to connect one subwoofer to both amplifier channels
(left and right).

1.  Connect one set of subwoofer terminals (+ and-) to the amplifier's left
    or right channel.

2.  Connect the remaining set of subwoofer terminals to the amplifier's
    other channel.

CONNECTING TWO SUBWOOFERS TO A STEREO AMPLIFIER

Follow these steps to connect a separate subwoofer to each amplifier
channel (left and right).

1.  On each subwoofer, connect a jumper wire (a small section of 18-gauge
    wire) between the positive (+) terminal of one set of terminals and the
    negative (-) terminal of the other set.

2.  Connect the remaining terminals (+ and -) on the subwoofer to the
    matching terminals of the amplifier's left and right channel.

3.  Connect the remaining terminals (+ and -) on the other subwoofer to the
    matching terminals of the amplifier's other channel.

CONNECTING ONE SUBWOOFER TO A MONAURAL AMPLIFIER

Follow these steps to connect one subwoofer to a monaural amplifier.

1.  Connect a jumper wire (a small section of 18-gauge wire) between eh
    positive (+) terminal of one set of terminals and the negative (-)
    terminal of the other set.

2.  Connect the remaining terminals (+ and -) on the subwoofer to the
    matching terminals of the amplifier.
