ADDING THE SUBWOOFER TO YOUR
SPEAKER SYSTEM
With the subwoofer in the selected lo-
cation, measure the distance from it to
each speaker, and to your receiver/
amplifier. Then follow these steps to
connect the subwoofer.
Notes:
• Use 18-gauge speaker wire for
distances up to 25 feet.
• Use 16-gauge speaker wire for
distances greater than 25 feet.
• To maximize the bass response,
you must connect the receiver/
amplifier’s positive (+) and nega-
tive (–) terminals to the sub-
woofer’s corresponding positive
(+) and negative (–) terminals.
You can easily do this by using
speaker wire that has a stripe or a
ridge on one conductor. Your local
RadioShack store has a wide
selection of speaker wire.
1. Connect the subwoofer’s INPUT
terminals to the appropriate left
and right speaker terminals on
your amplifier.
2. Connect the subwoofer’s OUT-
PUT terminals to the correspond-
ing left and right stereo speaker.
