Mounting the Speakers

Refer to the back of the manual for detailed illustrations.

1. Unscrew the two bolts securing the bracket to the speaker.
2. Attach the bracket to a suitable surface using the provided screws and washers.
3. Screw the two loosened bolts back in, securing the speaker to the bracket.
4. Pull off the left side rear cover to expose the terminal connector block. Connect the speaker to the amplifier output (Black = negative pole / Red = positive pole). Ensure the audio system is turned off before making any connection.

Connection Examples

Standard 2 loudspeaker setup: Connect the amplifier output to two 8Ω speakers wired in parallel, resulting in a 4Ω load.

Parallel 4 loudspeaker setup: Connect the amplifier output to four 8Ω speakers. The diagram shows two sets of two speakers each, with each pair wired in parallel to achieve a 4Ω load, connected to the amplifier. This configuration presents two 4Ω loads to the amplifier.

Series parallel 4 loudspeaker mono setup: Connect the amplifier output to four 8Ω speakers. Two speakers are wired in series (16Ω), and these two series pairs are then wired in parallel, resulting in an 8Ω load.
