present a short circuit to your amplifier if
contact is made!

Please take note of the jumper clips installed
under the 5-way binding posts. These clips
attach the high and low frequency sections
of the crossover together. Leaving these in
place, connect the (+) wire from your
amplifier to either Red binding post and the
(-) wire from your amplifier to either Black
binding post (See Figure 1).

This method of connection replaces the
jumper clips installed under the 5-way
binding posts with individual runs of speaker
wire from your amplifier. This doubles the
signal carrying conductors from the audio
amplifier to the speaker, thus direct-coupling
each portion of the crossover to the amplifier.
To bi-wire you must first loosen the 5-way irst loosen the 5-way irst loosen the 5-way irst loosen the 5-way irst loosen the 5-way

and HI- HI- HI- HI- HI- binding posts of the Sequel II. Then
connect a second set of wires to the LO+ LO+ LO+ LO+ LO+
and LO- LO- LO- LO- LO- binding posts. Next, connect both
sets of wires to the appropriate terminals on
your amplifier. Please take care to connect
both (+) wires to the (+) amplifier terminals
and both (-) wires to the (-) amplifier terminals.
This is known as a parallel connection (See
Figure 2).
