there are no stray strands of wire which could cause a short circuit. Observe left / right and polarity mark-

tri-amplified connections to the crossover network
connections to the woofer and tweeter are the same as the normal wiring method. Connect the ampli-
fier you have chosen for the tweeter to the terminals marked high input. Connect the woofer amplifier
to the low input terminals.
Important note - you must cut the jumpers that connect the low frequency and high frequency sections
of the crossover. See diagram 2. Failing to cut these jumpers could cause damage to the amplifiers or the
crossover.
Note: Must cut all jumpers
