CONNECTIONS
First of all, check the specifications of the amplifier if it is suitable for your speaker boxes. Pay particular attention to the power
rating and impedance.
Check if the amplifier is switched off. If yes, you can switch on the speakers.
PLEASE NOTE! Watch the polarity (+/-). Wires of the same colour must be connected to the same sign of every side i.e. the +
of the amplifier must be connected to the + of the speaker box. If the connections are inverted, the sound quality will diminish.
Only use high quality speaker cables that are suitable for the power and distance between the amplifier and the speaker.
Connection of several speakers:
When a second speaker is connected in parallel (see fig.) the impedance will change from 8 Ohms to 4 Ohms. Check if the
amplifier can handle this. If more than two speakers are connected in parallel, the impedance will go below 4 Ohms. Most of the
amplifiers can't handle this!
